About

Monarch Healing Energy was inspired by my grandmother, known as “Monarch Mary” at the nature center where she volunteered as a bird bander. She was deeply kind and patient with everyone she met. As a teacher who worked with children with learning disabilities, she believed that every person could learn and grow when they were supported in the way that worked best for them.

She also had a deep love for nature and animals. When I was growing up, I often went with her to the nature center, where she taught me about birds and the natural world. Watching the care and respect she had for living things left a lasting impression on me.

My dad also nurtured my fascination with transformation. He'd bring home monarch caterpillars, and as a family, we would watch them form a chrysalis and eventually emerge as butterflies. Witnessing that incredible process—from caterpillar to butterfly—felt magical and taught me the power of transformation in nature.

These experiences shaped how I see healing today. Just like the monarch butterfly, transformation is a natural process. With the right support, patience, and care, people can move through their own stages of growth and emerge more connected to their authentic selves.

Monarch Healing Energy is my way of holding that same compassionate space for others as they move through their own healing and transformation.

There was a time when I didn’t feel at home in my own body. I carried the weight of past experiences—old fears, patterns of anxiety, and a deep sense of disconnection—that made it hard to feel safe, calm, or truly present. Life felt heavy, and I often moved through it on autopilot, unsure of how to access the peace and clarity I longed for.

I learned to give myself what I needed as a child: love, safety, guidance, and compassion. By tending to my inner child and nurturing the parts of me that had been overlooked or hurt, I began to create safety within my own body and nervous system. This work showed me that healing isn’t about fixing anything—it’s about remembering your wholeness, honoring your inner child, and reclaiming your capacity to feel grounded, supported, and present.

Each time I slowed down, faced old fears, or allowed myself to simply be, I reclaimed more trust in myself, more ease in my body, and more presence in my life. Now, through Monarch Healing Energy, I hold that same space for others—guiding people to reconnect with their bodies, nurture their inner child, and remember the wisdom, strength, and calm that has always been within them.
