Living Stories
Your life gift
We all have a story and you and your family should never lose, forget or not know it. I will sit with you and walk you through your life and write it for you to keep and gift. This is something unique and will honour the value and meaning to your life. I promise you, even you will love, and love so very much your written story.
How I work with you
After working as a Celebrant for 5 years I saw a gap, a need, so decided to fill it for you and your family.
I sometimes meet with families and they don’t know much about their person's story. They wish they did. Finding this out at a time of loss is even more heart-breaking so I decided to craft a solution, writing “Living Stories.” A beautiful way to record your memories and character straight from you.
I will interview you or your family person, starting at the start but the neat bit is finding out what makes you you, and your family them because of you. I will write your story for you to keep. It will share the detail of family treasures, morals, values, sayings, history, relationships, and most importantly accuracy as it’s from you. Value your story, you do have one which I will gather for you, write it for you and your future generations. A time for you to share your living legacy and gratitude. The perfect gift we should "all" be gifted.

“Thank you so much Tania. I didn’t even know I had a story. This makes my heart sing. My family wouldn’t even know some of these stories, but will now.”
Helen
“You have the most incredible ear for beautiful detail. You have turned my ordinary into my extraordinary story. Thankyou and I will be forever grateful for the way you have allowed me to say what I also have never said but wanted too, to my family. Keep up the amazing work.”
Wilson family
“You wrote my Dad and Mums Living Stories recently and on behalf of them and our family we say thank you. We are so blown away the way you captured them as a couple, a Team and in their youth sharing detailed stories they treasure. We will hold onto this for every generation to come. Thanks once again, it means so very much.”
Ken
“I love having my story written and have read it lots and each time remember a little bit more about myself and my times. Thankyou this is a treasure.
FAQs
How long does it take to gather and write a living story?
I usually allow 3-4 weeks to complete the process but this is dependent on my workload and your schedule. I will tell you before we get started
How do I get given my Living Story?
You will receive it electronically once you have seen the draft and made any tweaks as well as a published hard copy that you can print off for your family that want a copy. You could use the electronic text to add photos if you wish.
