Flagstaff Wedding Officiant: Meet Jen Paul

Flagstaff Wedding Officiant
Thank you for your interest in Life Passages!           CALL  928-607-3941

Hi! My name is Jen Paul: Life Cycle Celebrant; Wedding Officiant; Ordained Minister; Couples and Life Coach; Death Doula.

A few things I believe in...
* 
The power of ceremony and it's ability to create a new paradigm in our lives!  Weddings, baby naming ceremonies, rites of passage, healing ceremonies and celebrations of life (just to name a few) are created to honor these significant moments in our lives.  Weaving ritual and storytelling into these events makes it even more memorable.  
​* Reconnecting couples at a deeper level through coaching.
* The dying process as a precious time to be honored with gentle goodbyes.
* The ability of a person's own healing power - as we walk through life and have moments of getting "stressed out", body work; meditation; good food and nutrition; and life coaching can relax and release tension enabling us to get back into the flow of life.
* Holding space for the suffering that human beings endure.
* The power of love to transform lives!
​​
​Professionally....

This is my full time business!  The bulk of my work is officiating couple's wedding or elopement ceremonies which is my absolute joy!  Creating a ceremony that is meaningful and reflective of your relationship is profoundly important to me.  Premarital counseling sessions are great for enhancing the experience and deepening your relationship.
As a Life Cycle Celebrant, my certification is through the Celebrant Foundation and Institute. 
I am a trained hospice and palliative care volunteer. My certification as a Death Doula came from Beyond Hospice.    I have also completed  'Bridging the Gap' and 'Holding Space' trainings through  Further Shore . In May, 2016, I was added to the network of The Whale Foundation. My ordination as a Minister is from the Universal Life Church.  My training at Southwest Institute for Healing Arts certified me as a Zen Shiatsu practitioner and Hypnotherapist.

Personally.....
​I reside in Flagstaff, AZ  with my Beloved husband Ron and our dog Finn.  Ron and I were married in 1994 and became a blended family as he brought two sons who were aged 3 and 5 years old at the time. Our youngest son is a missionary in Phoenix. Our two older sons reside in Tustin and Tacoma respectively.  We are blessed with four grandchildren, a granddaughter and grandson from our oldest, and twin granddaughters from our middle son! 

In 2015, I retired from a joyful 12 year career of teaching in a Montessori classroom for preschool to Kindergarten aged children.  Pursuing my dreams while helping others has always been important to me!

To unwind, I enjoy singing!  I sing at bedside with Threshold Choir (women who sing to those whom are on the threshold of death or are very ill) members. My husband and I are a musical duo, "Higher Ground" performs locally and at Folk Fests as does our band, Aspen Dirt Band!  In addition;  hiking, meditating and connecting with nature rejuvenates me.  Silent Vipassana meditation as well as Kirtan (chanting) is a way for me to find clarity, open my heart and clear my mind.


I look forward to getting to know you and hearing all about how your path in life is currently unfolding. Thank you for your interest in my work!

Warmly,
Jen Paul
