A COACHING PROGRAM (FORMERLY KNOWN AS SPIRITUAL DOULAS)
​

You don't have to have it all figured out.

You simply have to be willing to become.


___

Whether you are releasing an old chapter, reclaiming your voice, or rediscovering your purpose - you do not have to walk this journey alone.
Join Our Next Cohort
Chrysalis Cohorts are an 8-week virtual, transformational journey for women navigating seasons of change, healing, growth, and becoming.

Through nervous system regulation, trigger wisdom, Sacred Contracts, relational repair, and community practice, participants learn to release what no longer serves them and cultivate the conditions for authentic emergence.

This is where the journey begins.


​Transform Within. Emerge Together.
 -   WHY CHRYSALIS? - 
Nature's Most
Powerful Teacher
Before a butterfly takes flight, it enters a sacred season of transformation. What was once familiar dissolves.
Something new begins to emerge.

Many women find themselves in a similar season. The old version of yourself no longer fits, yet the new version has not fully arrived.

​This is the chrysalis. And it is often where the deepest growth occurs.
Together, we create a container where women can reflect, grow, heal, and emerge into greater wholeness.
Picture
A relationship changes. A calling awakens.
A career shifts. Children leave home.
A loss occurs. A truth can no longer be ignored.
A new season of purpose begins to stir.
An old identity dissolves to make way for the new.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
We believe transformation is not something that must be forced.  It unfolds when people feel safe enough to tell the truth.  Seen enough to be authentic.  Supported enough to grow.  And connected enough to remember they do not have to walk alone.

At Chrysalis Cohorts, we honor transformation as a deeply human experience - one that deserves compassion, courage, reflection, and community.

You do not need to have all the answers.

You only need a willingness to explore what is emerging within you.

WHO THIS IS FOR

These Cohorts Are Designed for Women Who Are...

- WHAT YOU'LL EXPERIENCE -
A Holistic, Evidence-Informed Approach
Rooted in compassion.  Grounded in practice.  Centered in humanity.
The books that 
built this program
The Chrysalis Cohort is grounded in two foundational books by Niambi Jaha-Echols:
​The Healing We Avoid and Sacred Contracts.


Together, these works form the intellectual, emotional, and spiritual  foundation beneath every lesson in the eight-week journey.

The Healing We Avoid helps participants understand the wisdom hidden within triggers, emotional activation, protective patterns, and relational wounds.
Picture
Sacred Contracts guides participants deeper into the hidden vows, inherited beliefs, and survival agreements that shape how we love, lead, protect ourselves, and relate to one another.

Together, the books offer a path from awareness to alignment, from protection to presence, and from hidden vows to embodied sovereignty.

​They are not simply required reading. They are companions for the journey through the chrysalis.
THE JOURNEY

An 8-Week Transformation Roadmap

1


Entering the Chrysalis: Regulation, Safety, and Sacred Presence
Create the foundation for transformation by learning how to ground your nervous system, cultivate inner safety, and develop the kind of presence that allows healing, growth, and authentic connection to emerge.
2

​Mapping Your Inner Landscape
Discover how emotional triggers can become powerful teachers.  Learn to recognize activation, listen to the wisdom beneath your reactions, and transform moments of discomfort into opportunities for deeper self-understanding.

​3


​Sacred Contracts: The Hidden Vow Beneath the Pattern
Uncover the invisible agreements that may be shaping your choices, relationships, and sense of self.  Explore the hidden vows formed through life experience and begin reclaiming the freedom to choose differently.

4

​Boundaries, Over-Giving, and the Contract of Usefulness
Examine the patterns of over-functioning, people-pleasing, and self-abandonment that often leave women depleted.  Learn to create healthy boundaries rooted in self-respect, clarity, and sustainable care.

5

Conflict, Repair, and the Inheritance of Silence
Explore how family, culture, and past experiences shape the way we approach conflict.  Develop practical skills for honest communication, relational repair, and navigating difficult conversations with courage and compassion.

6

Women, Scarcity, Trust, and the Circle
Investigate the unseen forces that can create comparison, mistrust, and disconnection among women.  Discover pathways toward greater trust, authentic connection, and the healing power of supportive community.

​7

Sacred Portals: Rupture as Revelation
Learn to view life's challenges, disappointments, and moments of tension as invitations into deeper awareness.  Discover how difficult experiences can become portals to growth, wisdom, and transformation.

​8

Emerging: Living and Holding Beyond the Contract
Integrate the journey of the Chrysalis and step forward with greater clarity, self-trust, and presence.  Release what no longer serves you, embrace what is emerging, and begin living from a place of Butterfly Sovereignty.
WHAT IS BUTTERFLY SOVEREIGNTY?
At the heart of Chrysalis Cohorts is a simple truth:
Most women are not living from who they truly are.
They are living from inherited expectations, hidden vows, survival patterns, old protection strategies, and unconscious agreements formed long ago.

Butterfly Sovereignty is the freedom to live, love, lead, and serve from your authentic self rather than from fear, conditioning, or unconscious contracts.

Each week of the Chrysalis Cohort helps participants move closer to that freedom.
