Mission, Vision & Values

Purpose

To hold sacred, compassionate space for death, grief, and life’s transformations. Supporting individuals and families through human, animal, and personal transitions with presence, dignity, and soul-centered care. To walk with you through your journey and help guide you through the darkest times in life.

Mission

At Butterfly Yew, we hold sacred space at life’s most tender thresholds. We offer soul-centered, spiritual, and compassionate death & grieving support for individuals, families, and end-of-life support for beloved animals. Through gentle presence, reverence, and grounded care as we walk alongside each unique journey. Our mission is to create a safe, sacred space for dying, grieving, and remembrance—honoring each soul’s journey with dignity, love, and the sacredness of transition.

Vision

Butterfly Yew envisions a world where the full journey of living, dying, grieving, and transforming is honored as sacred. A future where end-of-life and death is met with tenderness rather than fear, and where humans and beloved animals are supported with compassionate, soul-centered care. We envision grief being held gently, creating space for healing, meaningful passages of rebirth, remembrance, and personal transformation beyond loss. Allowing connection, growth, and renewed purpose to emerge.

Core Values

At Butterfly Yew, we believe not all deaths are physical. Some are emotional. Some are spiritual. Some are deeply transformational.
Every ending carries wisdom, and every transition deserves to be witnessed, honored, and held with compassion.

  • Sacred Presence
    • I offer steady, compassionate presence—holding space without fixing, rushing, or judgment. Being fully present is the foundation of healing and trust.
  • Grief as Sacred Transitions
    • I honor grief as a meaningful passage. Not all deaths are physical; some are emotional, spiritual, or transformational, and each deserves reverence and care.
  • Compassionate Witnessing
    • Every story matters. I listen deeply and walk alongside clients as a gentle witness to their pain, love, and remembrance.
  • Holistic Care
    • I support the whole being; body, heart, mind, and spirit—recognizing that grief touches every layer of our lives.
  • Gentleness & Consent
    • All support is offered with tenderness, respect, and choice. Each person’s grief journey unfolds in its own time and way.
  • Honor for All Bonds
    • I acknowledge and validate all forms of attachment and loss, including human, animal, ancestral, and the loss of identity or life roles.
  • Transformation & Renewal
    • Within loss lives the potential for growth, meaning, and rebirth. I hold space for transformation to arise naturally, without expectation or pressure.
