What services do you offer?

Sacred Salt Ceremonies are guided ocean rituals. We meet at the beach, I lead a grounding meditation, and we intentionally collect seawater together —stepping into the water as a symbol of release and renewal.

Afterward, I spend hours distilling that exact water until it becomes salt. Each person receives salt made from the water we gathered, so the ritual continues beyond the moment.

Sacred Salt Ceremonies offers a range of custom experiences to connect, commemorate, and cleanse on Wrightsville Beach. From engagements and weddings, to corporate team events, to celebrations of life, to yoga retreats, to girls weekends. This special experience heightens your connection with your self, the people who you share it with, and nature.

Salt packets gathered on auspicious dates are also available for purchase. Follow @sacred.salt.ceremonies on Instagram for special drops - these SELL OUT.

How do you create the salt and when will I receive my commemorative salt?

4

I first double medically-grade filter the salt. Then I slowly heat evaporate the water, leaving only the pure salt from the ocean. It takes a minimum of 2-days to process, so your salt will be in your hands soon after it’s harvested, depending on the amount of salt and delivery times like in-person local vs. mail.

I have a different Officiant, but still feel called to include a special salt ritual - is that possible?

5

ABSOLUTELY! I can harvest the salt for you on an auspicious date, like your dating anniversary, or would love to meet you and your partner to lead you through the process of collecting the water yourselves! After your wedding ceremony, your sacred salt will be a precious keepsake.

Why is this right for me/my wedding/my business/my family as an experience?

6

Salt is what remains after transformation. The ocean holds what we release, and the salt becomes a physical reminder of that moment , whether it’s celebration, grief, or a fresh beginning.”

For Couples / Weddings / Families / Groups

It’s beautiful for weddings and groups who want to remember and commemorate their time together because you’re creating something living and lasting together. The salt becomes a shared symbol you can keep.

For Corporate / Group Leaders

For teams, it’s a way to slow down together, reset, and create a shared experience that isn’t forced or performative. It’s reflective, grounding, and extremely powerful.

Every experience is customized, so this is a guideline to begin the conversation.
