Janel Atlas

I’m a positive, practical, and intuitive celebrant, facilitator, mindfulness teacher, and relationship coach; I never feel more on purpose than when I’m holding space for people to bring their lives and their relationships into alignment with love, joy, and growth. 

Born in the United States, I’ve have lived in Ōtautahi/Christchurch with my three children (now 22, 19, and 15 years old) since 2015. In addition to my work as a mindfulness teacher, I earned my PhD in rhetoric and composition in 2020.

I bring an encouraging combination of efficiency and fun to all that I do, and clients who have hired me know that they can trust they’re in good hands.

It’s one of the greatest joys to support couples and families on their milestone occasions as well as day-to-day little moments.
