The Monarch Butterfly has a special place in my heart. When I was a kid in Whitby, Ontario; after school I would often play in a small forest at the centre of a farmer's field. One year the field was fallow, growing among other things, Milkweed.

One day I noticed that the farmer was out in the tractor mowing, and the plants were covered with the iconic striped caterpillars. I got a box and plucked probably hundreds of the caterpillars off the plants. I took them home and put the box in my garage. Every day I would go and find milkweed to bring to the box of caterpillars. My sisters thought I was crazy.

The caterpillars didn't stay in the box either; oh no, they went all over the garage. By the time they became chrysalis, they were hanging everywhere - off of shelves, even off of the side mirrors of the old VW Beetle my dad was trying to restore.

Then, one day I came home from school... I opened the garage door and was greeted by the sensation of Butterflies fluttering past my face and hands.

Even to this day I don't know if I can express this experience adequately. Utter freedom. This happened for several days in succession, as they emerged from the chrysalis.

When someone asks me what my approach to Trancework - and life - is all about, this is the story... and the feeling that I most want to share. It is the freedom that comes through transformation... and finding the open air.

Working with people in Trancework feels powerfully similar. I provide a safe and protected environment, I offer techniques and tools that facilitate powerful transformation. The motivation, the underlying potential to change is already present in the clients that choose to work with me; we only need to let it happen.
