A Framework For Personalized Transformation Coaching with D'Yanna Craighead


The Butterfly Code is a transformational personal growth company founded by D’Yanna Craighead, a tech trailblazer turned empowerment coach. Rooted in the power of transformation, The Butterfly Code guides individuals through a journey of inner evolution—from crawling in preparation to soaring in purpose

The Butterfly Code Experience is a transformational journey designed to help you evolve from potential to purpose—and power. Rooted in the natural metamorphosis of the butterfly, our signature 5-step framework offers a deeply personal path for self-discovery, healing, and growth.
I believe transformation isn’t linear—it’s a cycle of becoming. That’s why my coaching experience is grounded in five intentional stages:
Through coaching, interactive tools, journals, planners, and our supportive Butterfly Code Garden community, I help you release fear, rebuild confidence, and reimagine your future.
The Butterfly Code Coaching Experience is for those who are tired of playing small. It’s for the dreamers, the doers, the professionals and creators who feel a deeper calling—but aren’t sure how to break free from the chrysalis of fear, doubt, or stagnation.
I invite you to take the first step, trust the process, and rediscover your wings.
