Complimentary Consultation

One of my greatest joys is to create ceremonies for the moments in life that call for presence and intention. A custom wedding ceremony that is memorable and meaningful, a ritual to grieve a loss or awaken the divine within, a celebration of life.

Weddings are one of the few rituals we continue to carry on in tradition and they are a bold step into an unknown future, a holding ourselves accountable to our highest aspirations and a source of great joy in my life. It is such an honor to officiate weddings.

There are many more transitions and liminal spaces in life than just a marriage ceremony — birth, death, coming of age, divorce, loss, menstruation, retirement. These moments deserve the same attention and reverence. With meaningful intention, ritual and ceremony make space for healing, growth and release.

Weddings and other rituals are an opportunity to celebrate the unique aspects of you, your partnership and your life. They are the ways in which we mark and celebrate a major transition. Together we will co-create the perfect ceremony or ritual for you and yours.

  • Rev. Deshna is AMAZING!! She guided us through the wedding process with blissful ease and clearly prepared us for what to expect on our big day. Her brilliant words transformed our ceremony into an intimate story about our love for one another. We truly had the best time working with her and couldn’t recommend her more highly!! — Samantha T.

  • Deshna was very professional and great at what she does. She worked with me in order to write up our perfect ceremonial speech, guided us through what to expect, and performed wonderfully at our micro wedding. I received multiple compliments about how great she was from my guests after our ceremony as well. I would highly recommend working with Deshna!

  • Best experience EVER! — Delia C.

  • “Deshna’s skill as a ritualist is exceptional. She creates a safe and beautiful space for participants to quickly get present within themselves and engage with the rites at hand. She is articulate with overflowing wisdom. Her soothing voice creates a grounded yet otherworldly environment. She is talented at creating altars that assist in transcending ordinary space. Her purity of heart creates an atmosphere of compassion, comfort, and openness. I feel shifted in deep ways, lighter and expanded after experiencing a ritual event that Deshna has orchestrated. I highly recommend her as a spiritual guide and ritualist.”
