I know that working with someone new or with a new concept can be a really
daunting experience. Our uncertainty or anxiety can often stop us from
taking action that could really help us in the long run.
My philosophy is to create a safe environment where you can experience me
and my products, with a ‘no strings attached’, complementary feel to your
connection. This doesn’t tie you in to paying anything or committing to a
relationship when it doesn’t feel good or right or is just simply unproven.
I follow this philosophy in my coaching, as I think it’s important that we have a
choice about how we grow and who supports us on our journey. This
Seasonal Healing Programme offers the same approach to you, right now.
So, welcome to this short Seasonal Healing Taster, which offers you a
flavour of what value the full programme could give you. I’ll introduce you to
the programme’s aims, offer you some insights into me and my journey and
then we’ll embark on this mini seasonal tour.
This Taster is based on Four Seasons in one Day, where you get a chance
to dance with the seasons, getting to know a little about the magic each one
uniquely brings with it and how it can enhance our lives.
I’m so honoured to have you along with me on this short tour and I hope
together we can create our own magic. Firstly though, turn the page to get
more insight into what the Seasonal Healing Programme hopes to achieve
and what I bring to the party – and then we can begin.

The Seasonal Healing Programme is an intimate journey that embraces the
special qualities and insights held in the heart of each season. Mother
Nature’s energy has an amazing influence, yet we get trapped in the daily
pattern of our busy lives, that her invisible power silently washes over us.
Imagine if we actively tuned into her natural rhythm and woke up to the
potential that a healthier co-existence could offer. Think about how much
more harmoniously we could live if we had a new respect for this invisible flow
of nature. Our health, healing and happiness are just a whisper away.
Whilst seasonal rhythms across the world flow differently, there’s no doubt
that the transitions from one to another play a key role in the lifecycle of all
creatures. They survive by adapting their internal body clocks to the
interaction of the sun, the earth and the length of day, developing a sixth
sense of how to adjust to the season. What amazing lessons for us to learn.
This is my intention behind the Seasonal Healing Programme. I have split
the programme into four series, each one giving you an insight into that
season’s significance to our lives. This journey enables you to discover new
ways of adapting to Mother Nature’s gentle rhythms, helping you develop a
greater meaning to your health and vitality, gain a better understanding of
how to harness your well-being and generate inspirations that create
enduring change. Presented with beautiful exercises and insightful
meditations, each season challenges you gently to make subtle changes to
your life that attune with each season, enriching every moment.
Seasonal Healing Programme Introduction
3 www.conversationswithabutterfly.com
I have come to appreciate Nature’s offerings most
significantly over the last couple of years, as me and
my hubby moved from the Isle of Man back to
Somerset, UK. Our dream was to search for the
good life, focusing on a more self-sustained and
natural way of being. After years of stress, poor
health and financial challenges, we needed a change. Whilst the small-
holding vision still awaits us, we have taken great strides in living our dream.
I have had twenty-five years in the training and development field; twelve
years in Financial Services and then fifteen years in my own consultancy.
Focusing on leadership and personal development as a facilitator and coach,
I knew that living my dream meant stepping away from that corporate world. If
my health and well-being were to improve, then something big had to happen.
During 2012/3, circumstances drove me to hibernate and evolve from the,
‘suited and booted’ image to a more free-spirited creature. At the same time,
our self-sufficiency efforts were improving with the purchase of a poly tunnel,
foraging books and jam jars aplenty. We were becoming more in tune with
seasonal abundance, enabling us to make the most of nature’s bounty.
Now, proud author of Awaken your Assertion, I realise that after years of
presenting to groups, a softer energy from behind the laptop can provide as
much influence and value to people; and so writing is a new way of life.

By working through my own healing and thanks to the guidance of my
mentors, my new heart-centred vocation, Conversations with a Butterfly has
emerged. From within the cocoon of my hibernation, I have developed the
Butterfly Way, an inside-out approach to transformational healing that
takes us on a path to becoming the best version of ourselves. Specialising in
coaching, writing and creative inspiration, I invite you to take this journey to
the inside, where you will find the profound source of your limitless potential
and well-being, just waiting to be awoken from its slumber.
I hope this taster gives you a feel for what you could achieve with me, through
Conversations with a Butterfly and together we can take a personally
guided trip around your inner-self, emerging in a way that honours the very
essence of who you are. There is no better time to be free to be you.
Experiment with this complementary taster and delve into the four seasons,
in one go – and if you like it, then you’ll feel more like experiencing each of the
seasonal programmes as they come on line. Emerge into Spring is already

Four Seasons in One Day

Spring heralds the end of winter, that cold season of deep contemplation,
restoration and dormancy. This is now a time of new beginnings, pushing ahead,
turning our dreams into reality and cleaning out the old to make way for the new.
This transitional season is incredibly powerful and reignites the flickering flame of
Mother Nature’s energy, signalling growth, new life and renewal. What an amazing
season for us to attune and raise our game to after the sleepiness of winter.
With that in mind, here’s a spring exercise to tickle your taste buds.
Spring Exercise – Making way for the New
Spring’s warmer weather and longer days wake up the natural world, encouraging it
to engage in a frenetic activity of nest building, nourishment and germination. For
us it symbolises the traditional spring clean and an instinctive clearing out of
unwanted stuff that we’ve accumulated. Left untouched, this stuff could soon get
in our way and become obstacles to us living happily, harmoniously and limitlessly.
So have a think about what you need to clear out, reprioritise and let go of that
could create space for new, fresh and exciting things to take their place.

When I think about summer, images of sunshine, holidays, salads, being outdoors, fun and
vibrancy come to mind. Summer’s energy is all about flourishing after the blossoms of
spring, with nature in full swing. Plants, whilst still growing, are pretty well established now,
animals are nurturing and preparing their young and generally there is an abundance of
everything, shining in all its glory. Summer symbolises stepping out, partying, exuberance
and playfulness, throwing off the constraints created by its seasonal siblings, presenting a
real teenage feel to its joyfulness. With that summer theme of the playful spirit, let’s have
some fun with this next exercise, which is an extract from Flourish with Summer.
Releasing our Inner Child
Think about you at your best, during this vibrant summer season. Imagine releasing your
inner child to come out to play, with limitless abandon and fun. How would you like to
flourish this year? Write down what you would like to do, be and have that really engages
your playful child and connect with the feelings that this playfulness brings up for you.
Be inspired by the possibilities of your playful child.
Flourish in Summer

Autumn is another powerful season, much like its spring partner. This season
carries us abundantly into a period of productive frenzy. Like with spring, energy
in the natural world becomes a little more frenetic after the lazy, hazy days of
summer, as there is important work to do in preparation for winter. Yet, at the same
time, there is a real sense of celebration. Many animals have matured and are
ready to make their own way and plants are flaunting their fruit, blessed with the
seeds that will continue their legacy into the next year. Autumn symbolises
gathering, foraging, one more burst, taking stock and counting blessings. And so
the message is clear - no resting on our laurels, we have a call to action.
In this period of celebration, abundance and blessings, this exercise encourages
you to focus on everything you are grateful for, however small this may feel,
(whether it’s autumn or not). It’s wonderful to notice the energetic difference that
gratitudes have on us – imagine doing this each and every day – what an amazing
value this simple practice could add to our lives.
Celebrating your Bounty – What are you Grateful for?
Reap Autumn’s Bounty

As autumn transitions from its rich abundance, we enter a period of shorter, colder
days, symbolising stillness and restoration. After autumn’s frenzy, winter
completes the seasonal cycle where Mother Nature is forced to comply, buckling
beneath the force of winter’s demands for dormancy. The soil degenerates,
animals hibernate and plants die back, entrusting their future to envelope of their
bulbs. It’s a period of inactivity, passivity and contemplation.
For us too, winter sees little drive or vitality. It is the season where we seem to
manifest illness, as the body reminds us of the need to rest after our year’s
challenges and accomplishments. It’s a celebration of staying indoors and
permitting ourselves to retreat, whilst we sit out winter’s animated storms.
This final exercise in our Four Seasons in One Day tour invites you to reflect on
ways to embrace the season’s appeal for restoration and stillness. What could you
do this winter that attunes with its energy, accepting gracefully the need to
hibernate? What could you give yourself permission to do, be and have this winter?

And so, having honoured each season and listened to their energetic lessons, I’m
sure you have some interesting insights. Albeit a dainty dance, it would be useful
to reflect on what stands out most to you from the exercises. What are you
inspired to do differently that subtly harmonises with Mother Nature’s tune?
The business world suggests that when we write down our actions we have a
greater chance of succeeding. So, I encourage you to note down your discoveries
from this Taster and commit to the promises that you wish to make. I would also
suggest that you pop those commitments into a diary or planner that reminds you,
when you enter each season, what your promises are for that period. This will help
you succeed in your natural adaptation to Mother Nature’s will.
