ABOUT ME

Hello, my name is Rani (that’s pronounced ‘rah-nee’) Sheilagh (‘shee-la); a name which reflects my Indian and Irish background. As the daughter of an Irish mother and Indian father, I grew up with cultures, spirituality, philosophies and traditions from both the east and the west and I was also blessed with diverse experiences of many places and people while living around the globe.

I’m an Entheos Ireland celebrant listed on the HSE Irish Register of Solemnisers which means I can hold legal wedding ceremonies in Ireland. Entheos Ireland is a non-denominational inclusive organisation, authorised to carry out ceremonies for couples of all faiths and none.

I have completed a 2-year rigorous and rich training as an Interfaith minister which saw me diving into exploring different world views, faiths, beliefs, philosophies, the spiritual/non-spiritual and the many unique ways we can choose to mark moments in our lives.

I am an enthusiastic lover of life and of people who feels that energy is best spent doing things that feel good and brings us and those around us more joy. I’ve spent many years training, studying, practising and developing skills to be of service in the world which has brought me to where I am now.

Today my home is by Blessington lakes in lovely West Wicklow and with family in South Dublin, though you will often find me planning my next adventure. I have had the privilege to preside over ceremonies throughout Ireland – from Doolin to Dublin, in Kildare, Meath, Wicklow and Wexford so far!

Driven by my personal background and experiences as ally, friend and family to people from all walks of life, I strongly believe in recognition, equality, inclusion and respect for all – and in celebrating our beautiful diversity! I feel privileged to support and hold a special space in ceremony for people as they mark defining moments in their life.

I perform all types of ceremonies from non-denominational, blended, same-faith, interfaith, no-faith, intercultural, and everything in-between with equal enthusiasm. I take delight in creating personalised ceremonies that reflect your unique wishes, spirituality, background, culture and beliefs. My only agenda is to ensure that your ceremony is yours, that it generates joy, ignites celebration and reflects what is most meaningful to you.

Whether for a wedding day, a vow renewal, an anniversary or any other special celebration of love I would be honoured to hear your story and to hold space in ceremony for you.

In other aspects of my life, you can find me working in the realm of communications, making connections, researching, writing and speaking about our human/digital experiences as a Cyberpsychologist, sharing yoga, meditation and holistic health practices, making art or sipping a glass of wine, laughing, playing and dancing under the moon!

I hope this gives you a sense me, my life journey so far and feel you know me a little bit better now. Thank you for taking the time and I look forward to connecting with you.
