Our Healing Principles

At A Dragonfly's Dream, we believe healing is personal, nuanced, and ever-shifting — like the tides. Our principles are designed to support you in navigating your journey with compassion, presence, and hope.

Harm Reduction

Like sea glass shaped by time and tide, each journey takes its own form. A harm reduction approach honors the truth that healing is not one-size-fits-all. Progress, safety, and compassion matter more than rigid expectations. You are already enough, just as you are.

Mind-Body Connection

The body is both anchor and current—carrying memory, strength, and wisdom. Through gentle practices like yoga, breathwork, and mindful movement, there is space to reconnect with your body in safe and supportive ways. Water itself is a teacher, reminding us to ground, to flow, and to breathe with the tides.

Personal Practices

Like shells collected along the shore, personal practices can be small but meaningful treasures. Journaling, gratitude, affirmations, and art expression offer ways to explore emotions, cultivate hope, and rediscover light. They are not requirements, but invitations—moments of renewal carried with you on the journey.

Tending Your Tides

Healing is about more than practices — it’s about living in alignment with your values and nurturing yourself in ways that feel meaningful. By honoring your pace, leaning into connection, and embracing compassion and courage, you can tend your own tides. Small, intentional practices — whether reflection, creativity, mindfulness, or gentle movement — help you stay grounded, navigate rough waters, and notice the moments of calm and clarity that guide your journey.
