Co-Founder
The Blue Butterfly House
St. George, Utah
"In 2016, Debbie lost her 30-year-old son to domestic homicide — and stepped forward to raise his six-year-old daughter. Out of that unimaginable grief, she co-founded The Blue Butterfly House: a low-cost, often free safe space in St. George, Utah, for families navigating court-ordered supervised visits. Her life's work — in grief, healing, and grounded leadership — is built on the foundation of what she has lived."

A Proven Framework
A grounded framework for women navigating loss, burnout, identity shifts, and the seasons of life that have quietly unraveled who they thought they were.
Ground
Embody
Lead
Ground
Before anything else, you must find solid footing. Grounding is the first and most essential step — stabilizing your nervous system, restoring safety in your body, and creating the internal steadiness that makes everything else possible.
Embody
Embodiment is where healing becomes real. Through eight intentional practices, you move from surviving to inhabiting your life again — reconnecting with your emotions, your instincts, and the wisdom that lives in your body.
Lead
One life. One woman. One clear direction. From a place of groundedness and embodiment, you step into your own leadership — not from urgency or fear, but from clarity, alignment, and the steady confidence of a woman who knows herself.
"You are not here by accident.
You are here for a purpose."
Work With Me
I work with women who are here because something in their life has changed forever. No one seeks grounded rebuilding because life is comfortable — they come because loss, trauma, burnout, or a rupture has left them untethered.
Before rebuilding, before reinvention — we slow down. Emotional collapse impacts the nervous system, and I help you understand what is happening in your body.
A space where your experience is neither rushed nor minimized. You are witnessed, honored, and supported through every step of the in-between.
Not from urgency. Not from fear. But from steadiness — reclaiming your identity, restoring safety, and reimagining a life that feels steady enough to want again.

The First Step Back to You
Life has a way of pulling us away from ourselves — through grief, trauma, expectations, or the quiet ways we've been taught to put others first. Somewhere in the storm, we lose trust in the one person we need most: ourselves.
This isn't about fixing yourself — you were never broken. It's about remembering: you are safe to be you again.

"I recently lost my husband. I was feeling a bit scattered. The Rebuilding Self Trust Through Care helped me to see myself in a different light. I realized I am stronger and more resilient than I gave myself credit for. Debbie has a beautiful way about her guidance. I felt safe to share my heart which helped me to reach deeper. I am forever grateful for this opportunity to grow."

Reflections & Resources
Grief has a way of changing everything. It rearranges your soul, shifts the ground beneath your feet, and can leave you feeling as though the world no longer speaks your language. One of the most painful lies grief tells us is this: You are alone. But that is not the truth.
Continue ReadingOn my grief journey, this was the question I asked the most. Sometimes I would ask perfect strangers to get their perspective. It is normal when we cannot see beyond the pain of the day to ask for help.
Continue ReadingIn life, we all face challenges and traumas that have the power to shape us in profound ways. These experiences can leave us feeling broken, lost, and longing for the person we used to be before it all happened.
Continue ReadingAs humans, our capacity for love is boundless, seeping into the very fabric of our being. Grief possesses a remarkable duality — it has the power to both shatter us into countless fragments and, in time, to mend those shattered pieces into a new and resilient whole.
