Our story began when our founders, Giselle Bonilla and Kat Bonilla discovered firsthand, the lack of support and resources available for women who have experienced abuse and or other traumas in Boston, MA. They discovered the power of healing within a community, through the exchange of stories and community support. A path for healing was created for themselves and other women.

Inspired by the story of the Mirabal sisters, who worked with many communities in Kiskeya (Dominican Republic) to stand up to their oppressor, they named Time of Butterflies after their story and what it represented. Time of Butterflies represents healing and strength through the power of community.
