Jessica Eastwood

I’m based in beautiful Wānaka, where I live with my husband, our two teenage sons and our much-loved dog. Before becoming a celebrant, I spent more than 20 years working as a personal trainer, health and wellbeing coach, supporting people through life’s challenges and helping them reconnect with themselves. That work taught me the importance of listening without judgement, creating genuine connections and making people feel comfortable – qualities that naturally led me towards celebrancy.

I’m someone who loves people, stories and meaningful conversations. I also love the outdoors, running, strength training, hiking, swimming and travelling whenever I get the chance. Family is incredibly important to me, and some of my happiest moments are the simple ones spent together.

The past few years have also given me a new perspective on life, reminding me not to take special moments for granted and reinforcing how important it is to celebrate love, family and the milestones that bring people together.

I’m excited to be part of this community, continue learning from experienced celebrants and bring warmth, authenticity and a calm presence to every ceremony I’m privileged to be part of. I look forward to getting to know you all and sharing this journey together.
