Stephen was ordained as a minister in the Universal Life Church on 17 November 1996. Having studied many belief systems over many years, he now considers himself to be a true Universalist, after realising that all religions lead to the same God.

Over the years, Stephen has counselled, married, buried and baptised many people as part of his particular lay ministry.
His defining attribute is the length he goes to in personalising each and every occasion, which can be recognised in the many thank you letters he has received.

Stephen has touched numerous hearts and minds of over the past 20 years and is well respected internationally in his church. Augmenting his distinct brand of spirituality is his 40 years of karate, 25 years in the workplace, 19 years of marriage, 16 years of parenthood and an incredibly enquiring mind; giving him wonderful depth of character and an abundance of empathy.

Stephen is a yoga enthusiast, (a recovering golfer) and is the current Goju Kai Karate - World Champion for Kumite (fighting) and silver medal holder for Kata (form) in the veterans division (over 45).

Stephen is available full time to perform weddings, funerals and other defining events as well as personal and spiritual counselling.
