My story

In 2023, I was pulled back from the brink.

This is how I became The Dragonfly Catalyst™, and why I do this work.

I was dependent on substances just to get through the day. Burned out, hopeless and unwell. I couldn’t imagine a future where I was happy.

On my darkest day, I had to make a choice: give up, or try. I chose to try.

  • I left my ex.
  • I started working out.
  • I quit drinking, smoking, vaping, even caffeine.
  • I committed to a routine. I built new habits.

I picked up tarot and Reiki. I enrolled in courses for life coaching, grief and bereavement support, and eventually personal training. I burned my life to the ground and started over from scratch.

Brick by brick. Day by day. I started healing.

It was hard. Some days I barely held it together. But I stopped numbing, stopped running, and did the real work. I learned to be consistent. I learned to set boundaries. I learned to help myself first, so I could help others without losing myself in the process.

The name

Dragonflies symbolize death and rebirth. Change and transformation. Messengers from spirit.

A catalyst creates change in something else without being consumed itself. Spiritually, it’s closer to a trigger. A mirror. A chess piece. A ripple. Someone who sparks transformation in others just by being present and authentically themselves, guided to hold up the mirror and show people pieces of themselves.

I’m not the only catalyst. But I am The Dragonfly Catalyst. I legally changed my name to embody this mission completely. There’s no going back, and no forgetting why I’m here.

Now

My goal is to help you do what I did: reset your life. Change your behaviors, your beliefs and your direction. Transmute what was meant to destroy you into fuel for your transformation.

Happiness doesn’t have to be a dream. It can be the ground you walk on.

I’m not here to save you. I’m here to walk with you while you save yourself.

  • All you have to do is choose it.
  • Choose to try.
  • Choose today.
  • Choose right now.
  • Choose yourself.

That act regenerates the world.

What I believe

The principles behind the work

Everything I offer, from a Reiki session to a squat, comes back to these.

  1. You are whole, not a set of problems.

    Grief shows up in the body. Habits start in the mind. Patterns live where talking can’t reach. So I work with mind, body and spirit together.

  2. Your shadow isn’t the enemy.

    The dark parts protect you and teach you. We integrate them. We don’t exile them.

  3. Balance is the foundation.

    Masculine and feminine, light and dark. Those are the four corners everything else is built on.

  4. Nothing changes until you choose it.

    I can hold up the mirror. You decide to look. Choose to try. Choose today. Choose yourself.

  5. Consistency beats intensity.

    Rome wasn’t built in a day, but they laid a brick every day. So do we.

  6. Everything is happening for you, not to you.

    Even the parts that look like they’re breaking you.

The whole journey, recorded as it happened

YouTube holds the full archive, from the very beginning, with as few holes as possible: collective readings, plant updates, the occasional cosplay and a lot of ranting.

And when you want to talk back, The Catalysts on Discord is where everyone gathers.
