The Journey Within

The butterfly emerges

I’ve always loved butterflies. From the pressed butterfly art of my childhood to my first tattoo in my twenties, they have captivated me with their delicate beauty and graceful presence. Across cultures and centuries, the butterfly has served as a symbol of transformation, rebirth, and the soul’s journey from darkness to light. It has also been a mirror of my own path, reminding me of the inevitability of change, and the profound beauty it brings.

The butterfly has become intimately woven into my relationship with plant medicine as well. It speaks to the art of surrender, the mystery of diving into the unknown, and the quiet miracle of becoming. So when it came time to reimagine my business and allow my work to emerge from its cocoon, it felt natural that the butterfly would become the symbol of Journey to You, lovingly crafted with the support of Lp and Brandango.co.

When I first sat with sacred plant medicine, I didn’t yet know I was entering my own cocoon. I came seeking healing, but what I found was the deeper invitation: to unravel, to soften, to meet myself beyond all the stories and identities I had carried. Much like the caterpillar, I was asked to let go of everything I thought I was and remember my true nature.

Sitting with the medicine—stepping into the cocoon—is an inward journey. In the darkness, stillness, and silence of that sacred space, something unseen begins to stir. It is an uncomfortable and beautiful in-between, a liminal space where miracles and magic quietly unfold.

Plant medicine doesn’t do the work for us; it simply reveals what’s possible. And just as the butterfly must press against the walls of the cocoon to emerge, we too must find the strength to unfold ourselves into new life. We step tenderly into a world that looks the same, though we have been forever changed.

This is where the true journey begins; when the experience is brought into our daily life and the insights we gained begin to take root. Over time, we begin to see life differently. We speak more clearly from the heart. We listen with more presence. We love more freely and feel more deeply. And, eventually, we learn to trust the strength of our wings.

At a time when people are longing for deeper healing, meaning, and connection, both the butterfly and plant medicine offer the same wisdom: true transformation asks for courage, patience, and deep trust in the unseen. Whether through ceremony or the slow blossoming of daily life, the path remains the same—surrender, dissolve, emerge.

Like the caterpillar that instinctively knows that it must turn inward to grow, I too have been called to this path of transformation. It is a calling not only to heal myself, but to guide others to their own healing, and to help transform old stories and limiting beliefs about the healing power of cannabis and sacred mushrooms.

Regardless of where you are on your journey, remember that you are the butterfly. Transformation is not the absence of struggle, but the courage to meet it with awareness and grace. I’m deeply honored to be a guide on your journey, to help you safely explore your inner landscape and walk with you the path home to yourself.
