Bringing your story to life

I have lived a life filled with family, moments, experiences and celebrations. I have travelled widely, gathered stories, loved, laughed, experienced loss and learned many valuable lessons along the way — and, like most of us, I learn something new every day.

For almost two decades, through my work at Victim Services, I have had the privilege of supporting individuals, victims and families through some of life's most difficult and meaningful moments. I have also provided compassionate end-of-life support in a hospice local to me.

These experiences taught me something I deeply believe: every person has a story, and every story deserves a space to share.

I came to understand this after losing my mother. She shared so much with us, but I realized there was so much more about her life that we didn't know — I found myself wishing I had captured more of her memories. That feeling remains with me to this day and became the reason I created My Legacy Studio, because sometimes it is the stories we never thought to ask about that we wish we had the most.

My Legacy Studio creates a place where people can pause, reflect and capture the pieces of their lives that might otherwise be lost — their memories, experiences, photographs, stories, wisdom, laughter and lessons.

Many people start their life story with an empty book and then stop, because they simply don't know where to begin or what to write. I am one of them. A guided workbook gives you the questions and prompts to get your memories flowing. When you are ready, My Legacy Studio can help bring those memories to life through a Legacy Video or Legacy Picture Show, featuring your story narrated by you — and we are here to help pull it all together with a professionally edited video.

It is never too early or too late to start — every day becomes another memory.

I hope you enjoy this space, take your time, and most of all… enjoy creating your story.
