Do you like where you are heading? Is it where you want to end up? Life is no dress rehearsal. The time to live life as you dream it – is now.
~ One Woman ~ One Whisper ~ One Inspiring Walk ~
Disillusioned with life, powerless to change and unsure where to turn next, the author heeds a startling call from deep within and heads to Spain – to the Camino de Santiago. Ill-prepared for the trip, she overcomes physical pain and gains mental toughness in the face of exhaustion, isolation and perhaps most importantly, bedbugs.
But this colourful and humorous story goes beyond the usual trials and tribulations of Camino pilgrims: it depicts a transformational journey from the darkness of uncomfortable feelings to the brilliance of emotional and spiritual enlightenment. Join the author as she changes, like the caterpillar to a butterfly and learns how to listen to her heart, letting it guide the way to revealing hidden answers to modern life’s dilemmas.
With Holly, you too can experience how to listen to your soul. Step on the path of destiny, deep in the Spanish mountains, where the pilgrim trails of myth and mindfulness meet and be guided to the heart of the butterfly – a place of wisdom, strength and honest self-empowerment.
A journey taken with the heart leads to life’s greatest destinations.

During these crazy times of shut down and isolation I found it the perfect book of hope and inspiration. It was as if I too was walking toward a new life with a old friend who understands the way forward. Thank you for sharing your experience!

Beautiful, insightful and thought provoking from start to finish. I felt that much of the journey was mine and that I was watching a movie rather than reading a book, so vivid was the writing and the deep extraordinary wisdom that shines from each page. A brave and wonderful book that encourages each of us to examine how we live in this world and have courage to move forward authentically. Profound x

Heart of The Butterfly is a beautiful and inspiring read that prompts a lot of self-reflection. Whilst turning the pages of this extraordinary book, you feel as though you too are walking the Camino de Santiago alongside Holly, sharing all the highs, lows, apples, and bedbugs. So much wisdom and insight flows from the pages – I didn’t want the story to end!
Susanna Roselle –
Loved it. This story was a great solution to no holiday abroad. Felt just as though I was in Spain while still sitting in LA. Could have done without the itchy bedbugs though!
Holly Kellam –
Thanks Susanna, glad you enjoyed the journey. Oh yes! The bedbugs were certainly itchy. Buen Camino.

Thank you Holly for taking me on your journey, empowering me to feel the pain that was, “hidden under the bed with the dust bunnies”. I was able to explore with awareness which in turn helped extract the fear, making way for forgiveness, compassion, together with finding love and joy in the heart.
Our individual journeys may differ but we walk the path together, our connections are our strength.
Heart Of The Butterfly guided me to open what was a small twinkle of light and feel the energetic cords that unite us all. Be it through the magic apples, rocks, four leaf clovers or even the bedbugs, we are all one and connected.

I loved being taken into Holly’s transformational journey. The physical and metaphysical explorations were uplifting and inspiring. It is shared with such humility and humour which makes it even more enjoyable. Thank you Holly for this wonderful guidebook to the Camino and to life!

Thanks so much for your kind words Olivier. It was so exciting to hear of your experiences as you traced the route. Buen Camino!

I found your book took me on two journeys, one from a view of my ego, where your book allowed me to see the fragilities of the mind and so I became the critic, but the writing style and metaphors were so sublime they invited me into your perspective on life so gently and honestly, that I startled one day realising I could not put the book down as I was reading it as a similar soul, not a separate person. That’s the magic. Camino? Yes empowering, but life lesson more like. This should be a book for everyone searching for their inner connection to the bigger story. Congrats on uplifting us all 👏
