Sensitivity is Strength.
At Butterfly Grove, sensitive youth and families will find the tools and support you need to feel more grounded, joyful, creative and empowered.
The Approach
Humans are complicated beings and there is so much we don’t know. As we search for meaning and strive for balance, joy and harmony in our lives, many tools and types of healing may be helpful along the way. What many modalities have in common is a focus on growth, with the goal being positive feelings of health and wellness, along with emotional calm and centeredness.
Intuitive Guidance Coaching offered at Butterfly Grove is intended to be both holistic and practical. While other approaches such as psychotherapy or occupational therapy may support Highly Sensitive People in feeling better, they do not necessarily address sensitivity to energy and energetic influences. Whether the energy sensitivity is related to empathy, technology, or is psychic in nature, Butterfly Grove can support highly sensitive youth and parents with energy healing tools designed to foster feelings of safety, grounding and mastery within your personal space. Intuitive Guidance Coaching incorporates education and concrete strategies which aim to address your specific energetic sensitivities, while pacing the energy healing work so that it can be effective in transforming your physical/emotional body to be in greater alignment with your higher self and life purpose.

Meet Carolina
Carolina Mariposa, MIM®
Your family’s intuitive guide.
I have trained in many healing arts, including energy healing, psychology, early childhood mental health, nutrition, herbalism, bodywork and movement. My work as an intuitive guide combines energy healing techniques with coaching that is designed to help sensitive youth thrive.
While much of my training is in mystical and alternative realms, this is balanced by my love of science and an orientation towards the practical, relational, and logistical elements of daily life and work. I can just as easily talk about managing tantrums as I can about spirit guides! If you are looking for someone who is capable of seeing you and your family holistically, with compassion and understanding, I am happy to support you on your journey.
On a personal level, I maintain a daily practice in yoga, qigong and meditation. I am the mother of a toddler, and am known to make up many spontaneous songs about our daily activities. I enjoy writing, singing, organic gardening, healthy eating, hiking and generally communing with nature. I live with my husband and daughter in Napa, California.
