MEET THE FOUNDER

I am a professional Clinical Chaplain with over 10 years of experience providing grief support and interfaith spiritual care. As a chaplain, I am often called upon to assist with planning and performing weddings and funerals, where I witness the power of creating sacred space that helps us tell our stories of love and loss. I felt often in my own life a need for more spaces like these, to honor the many stories of love and loss I carry but are harder to name, such as heartbreak, identity & existential crisis, becoming a mother, divorce, and chronic debilitating health issues. My hope is to be able to provide for others what I wish I had- a guide, someone to help me name and process the complexity of my experiences and honor these important transitions through meaningful ritual.

Choosing Rev. Messam as our officiant was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. Not only was Rev. Messam extremely professional, she was also a great communicator. She listened to our story and accommodated our preferences to create a ceremony that felt truly personal and meaningful. We cannot recommend her enough!
