Hello, and a very warm welcome

Hello ... I'm Annie.

Welcome. If you've found your way here, I'm so pleased you have.

For over thirty years I've had the privilege of walking alongside people during some of life's most profound moments.

My journey began as a nurse and midwife, supporting women and families through pregnancy, birth and the early days of parenthood. Those years taught me that, whilst knowledge matters enormously, so does trust, compassion, intuition and feeling truly heard.

More recently, my work has taken a different, but perhaps surprisingly connected, direction.

As an independent celebrant, I now help families honour the lives of those they love, creating ceremonies that are as unique as the people they celebrate. It is deeply personal work, and one of the greatest privileges of my life.

Alongside this, I continue my passion for supporting women through pregnancy and motherhood with Wise & With Child- a gentle companion for one of life's greatest transitions. Drawing on my years as a midwife, together with everything I've learnt since, it encourages women to trust themselves, find calm amidst the noise, and reconnect with the timeless wisdom that has always been within them.

Although these two paths may seem very different, to me they are beautifully connected.

Both are about walking alongside people through moments that change them forever - with kindness,
experience and an unwavering belief in the strength we each carry within us.

If you're looking for support during pregnancy, you'll find everything you need at Wise & With Child.

If you're searching for a celebrant to help create a meaningful and personal ceremony,
I'd be honoured to welcome you to my celebrancy website, Annie Barber Celebrant.

Wherever your journey has brought you today...

Thank you for stopping by.

With love,

Annie x
