In August 2020, I unexpectedly lost my youngest sister—an event that shattered me to the core. We shared a deep bond, and her sudden absence left an immense void in my life and heart. Coping with such a profound loss was a journey I never anticipated. Questions lingered unanswered, and emotions overwhelmed me as I grappled with how to move forward without her and how my nieces and nephews would navigate life without their mother.
​
My innate desire to help others took on a new meaning after my sister's passing. What began as a gesture of giving meaningful gifts to friends evolved into a passionate mission to establish a business dedicated to supporting individuals who, like me, are navigating the complexities of grief. I envisioned a company that not only honored my sister's memory but also offered solace and support to others experiencing loss.
From this vision, Dragonfly Vibes was born—a sanctuary for those on the path of healing following loss. We understand that for grieving individuals, the journey continues long after others have returned to their routines. Our community, along with carefully curated resources and products, is here to accompany you at every stage of your healing process, offering comfort and understanding through life's most devastating losses.

The story behind “Dragonfly Vibes” is deeply personal, rooted in the memories and dreams I’ve shared with my youngest sister Jaclyn. We always talked about getting matching tattoos, but every time we tried to set a date, life had other plans—often bringing the joyous news of her pregnancies. Our dream kept getting pushed aside until 2011, when she came to Oregon to be my matron of honor at my wedding. With her staying in town after my honeymoon, we finally seized the moment and scheduled our tattoo appointments.
I can’t quite remember how we landed on the idea of a dragonfly, but it felt perfect. We chose a matching dragonfly tattoo, with our initials intertwined in its body, inked on the tops of our feet. Every time I look at it, I’m reminded of our bond—a symbol of our connection that no amount of time, distance, or even loss can diminish. The logo for Dragonfly Vibes features two dragonflies facing each other, representing the enduring bond between my sister and me. Even though she’s no longer here, I feel her presence in everything I do. These dragonflies remind me that our connection endures, transcending time and space. She is always with me, guiding and inspiring me as I navigate life’s journey.

The dragonfly holds profound meanings that resonate deeply with me, shaping the essence of Dragonfly Vibes:
​
-
Transformation: Just as the dragonfly undergoes a stunning metamorphosis, it reflects our personal growth and the journey of becoming who we truly are.
-
Adaptability: Their ability to thrive in diverse environments embodies resilience and the wisdom we gain through life’s challenges.
-
Connection to Nature: Dragonflies remind us of our deep ties to nature and the beauty of life’s essence.
-
Mental and Emotional Maturity: They symbolize the lessons we learn as we navigate our emotional landscapes and grow stronger.
-
Protection and Guidance: In Native American traditions, dragonflies are seen as protective spirits, offering guidance from those we’ve lost.
-
Hope and Infinite Possibilities: Their vibrant colors inspire hope, reminding us of the endless possibilities that life offers.
-
Prosperity and Harmony: In many Asian cultures, they symbolize prosperity and good fortune, reflecting the abundance we can create in our lives.
-
New Beginnings: The dragonfly’s emergence from water to air symbolizes fresh starts and new opportunities, a powerful reminder that every ending can lead to something beautiful. In the wake of loss, embracing new beginnings requires immense bravery. It’s a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, showing us that even in our darkest moments, we can find the strength to rise again and create something meaningful from our grief.
“Dragonfly Vibes” is so much more than just a name; it embodies an aura of transformation, adaptability, and a profound connection to nature. It carries the spirit of hope, emotional growth, protection, and the courage to seek new beginnings after loss. My heartfelt wish is that it shares this positive energy with others, offering comfort, healing, and a reminder of life’s beauty—even during the toughest times.
