Frequently Asked

Who are “Highly Sensitive Children?” +

Children may be seen as “sensitive” for many reasons. Your child, and perhaps you as well, may experience:

  • A high degree of empathy to the emotional state of others
  • Extraordinary attunement to the environment (which may cause information overload, distractibility, hyperactivity, emotional meltdowns)
  • Sensory processing issues
  • Openness to intuitive, spiritual and psychic realms

Sensitive and Spiritual Teens may also experience:

  • Desire to understand themselves and find their own unique purpose without being overly influenced by others
  • Uncertainty about how to manage unique sensitivities in order to feel more empowered

Butterfly Grove offers community and guidance that is grounded in reality, while also being spiritual, supportive, creative and fun!

What is intuitive Guidance? +

Intuitive Guidance is grounded in the energy healing modality of Intuition Medicine®, and incorporates coaching which is informed by my more traditional training and experience working in mental health and social services with children and families for the past 22 years.

As a certified Master of Intuition Medicine® (MIM, 2001), I have been trained to intuitively sense a person's comprehensive energy anatomy. This includes numerous energy meridians, energy centers (known in many traditions as “chakras”) and energy systems which can influence your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health. As a MIM, I have numerous technical skills which can provide a structure and container for our work together.

Who attends the sessions? +

Services are tailored to your family's unique needs. The first session is typically held with the parent only, unless the parent feels strongly that the child or teen should be present. In this first session, I gather information about your concerns and needs in conversation, as well as by reading the energy of parent and child (along with any family members as requested; written consent required for each participant). I share my observations and recommendations, and we determine together the best path forward in terms of session structure, who attends sessions, and what skills are important to teach as a starting point.

What should I expect from an initial session? +

Intuitive Guidance Coaching sessions may be provided remotely, via phone or zoom, or in person if you are local to Napa, CA/SF Bay Area. A typical Intuitive Guidance Coaching session is approximately 60 minutes long and generally proceeds as follows:

  • You are asked to discuss your reasons for seeking support, and the other ways you (and/or your child) have tried to find strength and empowerment as a sensitive person.
  • You are asked to say your name three times so that I may view your energy using my intuitive skills, and your permission is requested to establish a spirit-to-spirit communication.
  • You are asked to name the other members of your family, if applicable, for/with whom you are seeking intuitive guidance (provided there is signed consent on file for each).
  • You are given feedback from me based on my intuitive perceptions of your spirit and energy anatomy. Feedback may include: direct messages from your spirit about the issues you are seeking guidance on, description of how your spirit is requesting me to work with you (facilitating energy healing of your energy anatomy, noting spiritual themes that are present), and narration regarding any energy healing that is taking place.
  • You are given practical information that is designed to support you in addressing your specific concerns and integrating that session’s energy healing. This may include skill building exercises to manage sensitivity, coaching on strategies to practice in relationships, and/or guided imagery exercises designed to support grounded transformation.
  • You are given a homework assignment in between sessions, such as a meditation technique, affirmation practice, or self-care routine that is designed to support integration of your spirit with your sensitive body and mind.
