Mariposas Holistic

I help transform stress and trauma into inner peace through holistic wellness.

Mariposas Holistic began in 2014 as a path to help people heal their trauma and stress. The business was founded by Paty “Mariposa” Hernandez-Montoya who is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Trauma Therapist, and Usui Reiki Master/Teacher. She birthed this business out of her own grief and trauma following the deaths of her sister, mother, and boyfriend who all passed within 5 years. Since 2021 s

he has shifted teaching Reiki and stress reduction coaching to include a trauma-informed perspective. She uses her gifts to assist people with a history of trauma through complementary modalities and with a self-care focus to reduce stress naturally. Reiki is a Japanese word that means universal life energy and is a form of energy healing that works to restore balance and promote well-being through a spiritual lens. Reiki helps to reduce stress, promote relaxation, reduce pain, and support healing on all levels – physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. Reiki and holistic healing promote a sense of well-being, balance, and harmony in the body, mind, and spirit. It can help to reduce stress, bring clarity and focus, and support the body’s natural ability to heal itself.

It holds the day my sister transitioned and after my mom passed away in 2014, Mother’s Day is also a challenging day for me.

𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲, 𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗳 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗮𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲.
Some days I smile and feel happy.
Some days I cry and feel sad.
Some days I feel waves of emotions that bring on a wobbly sensation.

Over the years as a social worker and an energy healer, I’ve learned that healing is about inner peace. It is about making space for it with presence, compassion, and grace.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿, 𝗜 𝗮𝗺 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗿 𝗠𝗮𝘆 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆.

In honor of my sister who inspired my spiritual path, I am 𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗥𝗲𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗶𝗸𝗶 𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗮𝘆 𝟮𝟭𝘀𝘁.

This 21-day self-paced virtual experience is for Reiki practitioners of any lineage who are ready to reconnect with their practice, rebuild consistency, deepen trust in their intuition, and receive support along the way.

𝗜’𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝘄𝗼 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝗶𝗸𝗶 𝗖𝗶𝗿𝗰𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗲 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗮𝘆 𝟮𝟬𝘁𝗵. This circle will be open to the public as a way to heal together through grief. It’ll be a space for community, reflection, and healing.

If your practice has felt quiet…
If your spirit has been asking for reconnection…
If you know it is time to return…

I would love to welcome you.

I support 𝗥𝗲𝗶𝗸𝗶 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 who feel deeply called to healing work, but who may also be navigating self-doubt, burnout, inconsistency, or uncertainty about how to share their gifts in a way that feels grounded and aligned.

My work blends 𝗥𝗲𝗶𝗸𝗶, 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘂𝗺𝗮-𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲, 𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁, 𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗼𝗱𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁, and 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗴𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘀 who want to serve without losing themselves in the process.

If that resonates, I’m so glad you’re here. Enjoy a 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗴𝗶𝗳𝘁 from me which includes the 𝟱 𝗥𝗲𝗶𝗸𝗶 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗘-𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸 and 𝗥𝗲𝗶𝗸𝗶 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. Link is in the comments.

A retreat, whether it’s for a few hours or multiple days, can open so much. It can bring clarity, connection, release, healing, and powerful aha moments that continue whenever you use the tools that you learned during the retreat.

Yet often when you return home from this liberating retreat, your real life is still there waiting for you. Your routines come back. Your responsibilities return. Rarely do people understand your experience or appear to want to. The shifts you at one point intensely can begin to fade if they are not supported.

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀.

Integration is the space where you reflect on what changed, notice what is still unfolding, talk through any challenges, and receive support as you bring those insights into your everyday life.

Since last year, I’ve begun to offer integration Zoom calls 1–2 weeks after any retreat I facilitate. It gives participants a chance to check in, share their struggles and breakthroughs, and feel supported as they continue processing what opened during our time together. We also maintain the retreat specific whatsapp group going for accountability.

If you were unable to attend the Reiki Reawakening retreat in April, yet still feeling called to keep that connection going, my Rekindle Reiki 21-Day Program begins in May.

This is a beautiful next step for anyone who wants ongoing support, gentle structure, and a deeper reconnection with their Reiki practice. If you’ve been craving consistency, community, and a way to keep the spark alive after retreat work, this program was created for you.

𝗥𝗲𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗶𝗸𝗶 𝗯𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝘆 𝟮𝟭𝘀𝘁. Join us if you’re ready to reconnect, deepen, and stay supported in your practice. Send me a message if you want the details. 💛

𝗘𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗗𝗮𝘆 is a beautiful reminder that we are not separate from nature. We belong to it.

🌿Take a walk without your phone and let your senses settle
🌿Put your bare feet on the grass for a few quiet breaths
🌿Step outside before coffee and greet the morning light
🌿Plant something, water something, or tend to the space around you
🌿Use less, waste less, and choose one more gentle habit that honors the earth
🌿Pause during the day and ask: what would help me feel rooted right now?

When we regulate ourselves, we often become more present, more intentional, and more connected to the world around us.

Happy Earth Day!

A day to remember to care for your external home.

The home that encompasses other life beings, weather, and much more.

When we care for the Earth, we care for one another and ourselves.

Connecting to the earth and sending Reiki is one of my daily practices.

This morning I was invited by Ansley, a Blue Health Facilitator to spend time by the water.

We meditated, walked mindfully, and connected with one another!

It was beautiful!

Reiki and nature is one of the themes we’ll be discussing and practicing this Saturday for the Reiki Reawakening Retreat!

We still have a few spots for the virtual and in person options.

DM if interested.

Comment below and share your Earth Day activity!

Yesterday afternoon we were contacted by to install are new impact windows today.

It was quite last minute yet it was able to happen.

Grateful that space was available for two virtual client sessions as our apartment is a mess!

Grateful for my husband who is staying home while the work is being completed so I can work.

Excited to have impact windows which will reduce our electricity, noise pollution, and is a complete upgrade from our current windows which are over 40 years old.

No matter how much you plan, external factors may cause you to shift. How you respond to those factors depends on you!

Reiki is my go to grounding resource as I can use it anytime and anywhere.

What’s your grounding resource?

PS reiki practitioners, the Reiki Reawakening Retreat is this Saturday. Only 3 spots left for in person and 6 spots left for virtual.

DM for details.

Today is 4/20, and while many people know it as a cannabis holiday, its origin actually traces back to a group of California teens in the early 1970s known as “the Waldos,” who used “420” as a meeting code. Over time, that phrase spread far beyond them and became part of cannabis culture around the world. (420 Waldos)

But beyond the jokes, merch, and cultural references, there is also an important educational conversation to have about medical ma*****na.
Cannabis contains compounds called cannabinoids, including THC, which is impairing and produces a high, and CBD, which is not impairing on its own.
Research suggests cannabis or cannabinoids may help with some conditions and symptoms, including certain rare forms of epilepsy, chemotherapy-related nausea and vomiting, HIV/AIDS-related appetite loss, and in some cases modest symptom relief for chronic pain or multiple sclerosis. At the same time, cannabis is not risk-free, and the evidence is still limited for many other uses. (NCCIH)

It is also important to remember that “medical” does not automatically mean harmless. Cannabis can affect memory, attention, coordination, decision-making, and reaction time. Smoking cannabis can also harm lung tissue, and frequent use is linked to higher risks for some mental health problems in certain people. (CDC)

So today, I’m holding both truths:
there is a cultural history here,
and there is also a need for informed, thoughtful, compassionate education.

As we come to the last day to register for the Reiki Reawakening Retreat, I keep returning to this: healing asks us to stay awake, curious, and honest about what supports the body, what supports the nervous system, and what true care really looks like.

May we choose practices that help us reconnect with ourselves.
May we stay open to learning.
May we honor both ancient wisdom and informed care.

I’d like to give a shout out to my ma*****na mentors, holistic nurses deniseccostello and thegreen_nurse They are well educated, experts actually in this field, and always a student.

Happy 4/20 and happy final day of registering for the Reiki Reawakening Retreat. Link is in my bio💚

Recently, I was invited to support a group of people impacted by the sudden death of a colleague. I held space for them to share their thoughts, grief, and emotions in a way that felt safe and free of judgment.

Many of us were taught that winter is the hardest emotional season due to darker times and isolation. But that is not always what the data shows.

Spring and summer can carry some of the highest rates of su***de, because sometimes the hardest thing in the world is suffering quietly while everything around you looks bright, alive, and full of joy.

I know that feeling. It can be much harder to get through the day.
You might know it too.
What helps me everyday is my morning Reiki infused practice.

𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗜 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝟱 𝗨𝘀𝘂𝗶 𝗥𝗲𝗶𝗸𝗶 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗺𝘆 𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗚𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗵𝗼 (𝗽𝗿𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻):
(my version)
𝘑𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘰𝘥𝘢𝘺, 𝘐 𝘢𝘮 𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘦𝘧𝘶𝘭 (𝘥𝘰 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘺).
J𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘰𝘥𝘢𝘺, 𝘐 𝘢𝘮 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘮 (𝘥𝘰 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳).
J𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘰𝘥𝘢𝘺, 𝘐 𝘢𝘮 𝘣𝘦 𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩 𝘮𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 (𝘣𝘦 𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘧𝘶𝘭).

Do you have a morning daily practice that helps you through the difficult days?

It could be stretching, reciting a mantra or reading a book. The purpose is to show “I am caring for myself.”

If the answer is no, or even “not really,” I want to offer you something simple that I return to again and again: The Reiki principles.

Even if you haven’t received the attunement, you’ll still experience the Reiki energy.

𝗟𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗼 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗶𝗸𝗶 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘀.You’ll also receive a guided meditation that you can follow along with. Write out the principles that resonate with you and read them in the morning before your connection with the external world begins.

💛 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗶𝗻 𝗯𝗶𝗼 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗿 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘀.

If you’re a Reiki practitioner and you feel called to deepen your practice this season then join us at the 𝗥𝗲𝗶𝗸𝗶 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗥𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗹 𝟮𝟱𝘁𝗵. It’s available virtually (morning) or in person (afternoon) in Miami.

𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗔𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗹 𝟮𝟬𝘁𝗵.

And if you're not ready for a retreat, the principles are free. Always. Print them. Put them on your mirror. Let them be enough for right now.
