About Me

My name is Jeannette and I am the creator of Turning Points. For over 20 years my focus has been on crafting custom-made ceremonies which honours and celebrates the turning points in a person's life. Whether it is guiding a couple in planning their wedding ceremony, welcoming a child into the family or assisting the bereaved through the delicate process of developing a personalized tribute of celebration I take great pride in creating ceremonies that will remain forever in your hearts and memories. My own life has been enriched by the people I have met and the stories they have shared with me as we created their's or a loved ones' turning point ceremony.

In my life I have had the great fortune of living and working in Canora and Rosetown in Saskatchewan, Morris and Morden in Manitoba and in London, England. I now call Winnipeg home and like all the communities and cities I have lived in, when I lived there, it is the best place to live! Plus having the majority of my family living in Winnipeg greatly adds to my pleasure of living here. I have travelled throughout Europe, Japan, South Korea, a few of the northern states in the U.S.A. and some very lovely hot spots in Cuba and the Dominican Republic. Throughout my travels I have come to understand and appreciate cultural diversity - though not always the food. I have learnt that many of us are creatures of habit so my travels have been a gift in expanding my understanding of the the richness that other cultures offer to us - yes, even the food!
