about pink chrysalis
Normalizing holistic soul transformation.
Curating spaces where the whole person is held.
What follows is not a method to master, but a way of walking we invite you into.
We create spaces where people navigating grief, loss, transition, leadership fatigue, and identity shifts are held with care—without rushing healing or bypassing pain.
“He restores my soul.” ~ Psalm 23:3
WHY WE’RE DIFFERENT
Pink Chrysalis is not a program to complete or a formula to follow. It is a posture of care.
“Sonia’s guidance helped me prepare emotionally and spiritually for cross-cultural ministry. I moved forward with clarity and confidence.”
— Cross-Cultural Worker
Pink Chrysalis is different because we refuse to fragment what God designed to be whole.
Rather than separating grief recovery, spiritual formation, creativity, and hospitality into isolated practices, we intentionally weave them together—creating space where transformation is relational, unhurried, and held with care.
This is work that cannot be rushed. So, we honor the hidden places where change begins.
Transformation here is relational, grief-informed, faith-rooted, and creatively embodied. We believe lasting change happens when the whole person is held—with care, presence, and time.
We walk slowly.
We listen deeply.
We honor the soul’s pace.
Our work is grounded in Christian spiritual formation and shaped by grief- and trauma-informed practices. We create spaces where people are welcomed as they are—never hurried toward answers or reduced to a single part of their story.
Hospitality, for us, is the sacred stewardship of the heart, mind, body, spirit, and story—offering safety, presence, and care in seasons of change.
This way of holding transformation naturally leads us to the chrysalis—the place where becoming is protected.
You are welcome here.
WHY THE CHRYSALIS
Becoming often happens quietly, in fleeting sacred moments.
“I will give you the treasures of darkness and riches hidden in secret places.” ~Isaiah 45:3
Transformation does not begin in the visible or the hurried.
It begins in the hidden.
Transformation is rarely neat or quick.
It is often messy, slow, and deeply sacred—requiring loss, letting go, and the courage to trust the process before clarity arrives.
The butterfly carries layered meaning, representing transformation, rebirth, and hope through its unseen metamorphosis, while also holding space for beauty, freedom, remembrance, and the soul’s journey through loss and renewal. Its presence invites attentiveness to fleeting, sacred moments where becoming quietly takes place.
Pink Chrysalis LLC takes its name from the butterfly life cycle. A caterpillar does not grow wings out in the open. Transformation happens inside the chrysalis—a protective shell that holds the caterpillar in its most vulnerable state. Here, the former self is released so true transformation can begin.
The chrysalis is where control loosens, identity softens, and change unfolds beyond our seeing.
It rests.
It surrenders.
It dissolves.
And in the hidden place—inside the chrysalis—it becomes something new.
What looks like stillness is sacred reconstruction.
What looks like breaking is becoming.
What looks like the end is the beginning of flight.
This is the heart of Pink Chrysalis—a sanctuary for the slow, holy work of transformation in hidden protected spaces.
What is forming here may not yet be visible—and it is allowed to take time.
Walking With You
Founder & CEO, REV. SONIA J. CRAWLEY, GRMS
“Sonia’s teaching on hospitality reshaped how I lead and care for others.”
— Ministry Leader
Hello!
I am a Soul Care Practitioner, walking alongside people through loss, grief, transition, and the slow, sacred work of becoming. My work is shaped by Christian spiritual formation, grief- and trauma-informed care, and biblical hospitality—grounded in a commitment to walk with compassion, presence, and truth, toward lasting, soul-deep transformation.
Pink Chrysalis LLC was born from more than two decades of walking alongside individuals and communities whose stories are too often unheard, across cultures and contexts, both domestically and internationally. Through years of cross-cultural ministry, grief recovery, and spiritual formation, I have learned that transformation is rarely quick or linear.
My own life has been shaped by seasons of loss, trauma, transition, and complexity—resulting in layered grief and an ongoing invitation into the slow, sacred work of the soul. I do not walk ahead or behind others, but alongside, honoring what has been lost, what is being held, and what is quietly becoming.
Because of this, the work we do here is personal.
And it is holy.
Healing is not linear.
Transformation is sacred.
And no one is meant to journey alone.
This is slow companionship for the holy work unfolding within you.
The Colors: A Legacy of My Mom and My Own Becoming
Pink, yellow, and turquoise were among my mother’s favorite colors, and they are mine as well.
Pink represents tenderness, courage, vulnerability, and compassion.
Yellow represents hope, clarity, joy, and resilience.
Turquoise represents healing, calm, truth, and spiritual depth.
These colors live within the Pink Chrysalis logo because they live within our stories. They are the palette of my own chrysalis—joy and grief, heartbreak and healing, and my journey of holy becoming.
If you are in a season of becoming…
You are welcome here.
