Vickie Menendez

Crystal’s Butterfly Effect is a story about how one mother turned the unimaginable loss of four children into a journey of profound transformation and healing. Through the perspectives gained from her own experiences, she found a guiding light that led her to hope, resilience, and inner peace. As the first book in the Mother of All Memoirs series, it offers a deeply moving exploration of the common challenges a mother faces amid tragic loss—and reveals powerful pathways to rise above life’s greatest difficulties. This memoir is not only a story of heartbreak but also a beacon of hope and inspiration for anyone seeking healing after profound loss.

You’re Here For a Reason

You feel the pull deep within to heal, soften, and return to who you were always meant to be.

To release what no longer belongs, reconnect with your body’s wisdom, and begin again—this time with intention, grace, and reverence.

This is your sacred invitation to listen, to breathe, and to trust that every experience has prepared you for this very moment.

Whether you’re walking with grief, rewriting old stories, or rising into your next becoming; your soul already knows the way.

My Story

For over 35 years, I’ve been drawn to the sacred work of healing through movement, breathwork, and creating spaces that hold souls gently. I felt called to this path long before I understood why. Then life brought the answers I wasn’t seeking, wrapped in profound loss that would become my greatest teacher.

I am drawn to beautiful souls who…

…are standing at the edge of something new. You’ve carried grief, trauma, or emotional weight for far too long and now, you’re feeling a quiet nudge. A stirring. A sense that there’s more to your story.

Maybe you’re in the sacred in-between, where the ground still trembles beneath you. Grief is still fresh. The unknown feels heavy. But even in the ache, something sacred is calling you forward.

You may not know exactly what healing looks like for you yet, but you know you’re ready to begin.

I hold space for women like you. Women who are courageous enough to listen within. Women who sense that their old story no longer fits, but aren’t quite sure what the new one will be. You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just need to be willing to stay with yourself through the unfolding.

My work is rooted in presence, compassion, and sacred witness. I don’t offer quick fixes or formulas—I create sacred containers for you to breathe, feel, and remember. To reconnect with your joy. To honor the truth beneath your pain.

Together, we explore my Mind, Body, Soul, and Sacred Spaces approach through The Chrysalis Journey—honoring your natural rhythm of going inward to your soul sanctuary and emerging when your essence is ready to shine. Because healing isn’t just something you do. It’s something you become.

Whether you’re deep in your chrysalis work or ready to stretch your wings, you’re exactly where you need to be.

If you feel the pull, even through the fear—this is your invitation. Let’s honor your sacred timing together.
