About Us
Meet Marketa Polčáková
I grew up in Czechoslovakia during the final years of communism, in a home where emotional connection was rare. Feelings were not spoken about, and sensitivity was quietly discouraged. Love existed, but it was not expressed in a way that helped me feel emotionally seen, held, or understood.
My parents were simply repeating subconscious patterns inherited from their own upbringing. Their coping strategies were shaped by survival, emotional suppression, and unspoken fears. What I did not realise for many years was that these patterns did not stop with them - they were passed on and coded into me from a very early age.
As a child, my nervous system learned what was safe to feel and what was not. Certain emotions became something to hide. Specific needs felt too much. Sensitivity slowly turned into self-doubt. These early patterns were then reinforced through my ongoing relationship with my parents, through school, and through the wider world.
I carried these invisible programs into adulthood without understanding them. They shaped how I saw myself, how I related to others, and what I believed was possible for me. I struggled with self-belief and felt disconnected from my own potential. I found myself drawn to the wrong friendships and relationships, unable to move forward in my career, and constantly questioning whether I was good enough.
My body also carried these unprocessed patterns. Emotional overwhelm showed itself through exhaustion, weight struggles, and a feeling of being stuck. On the surface, it looked like separate problems. In reality, they all came from the same subconscious roots.
Like many people, I tried to change things from the outside. I tried discipline, effort, different approaches, and new goals. I believed that if I just tried harder, if I changed my habits, my body, or my circumstances, something would finally shift. But it never truly did.
I now understand why. You cannot outgrow what is still coded in your subconscious mind.
So many people live this way without realising it. They change diets, partners, jobs, or routines, yet keep repeating the same emotional patterns. They sense that something is missing but cannot name it. The issue is not failure or lack of willpower. It is that the original programming was never decoded.
Everything changed for me when I became a mother.
Holding my two sensitive children, I embraced the profound truth that raising them requires a journey of self-examination and growth. If I wanted them to grow into emotionally healthy, confident human beings, I had to begin with my own inner world.
This marked the beginning of my healing journey.
Through forgiveness, self-understanding, emotional regulation, and reconnecting with my intuition, I began to understand how the subconscious mind is shaped in early childhood - through emotional experiences, body states, relationships, and moments when emotions are felt alone. I learned how these early imprints influence my self-worth, relationships, health, and my ability to follow my dreams.
I studied CBT Hypnotherapy, Emotional Coaching, Forest Therapy, Sensory Development, and the intuitive senses that children naturally have but adults often forget. Over time, I developed an approach that gently combines subconscious reprogramming, emotional intelligence, intuition, sensory awareness, and nervous system safety.
This work not only helped me understand my childhood patterns but also changed them.
It changed how I saw myself, how I parented, and how I connected with my children. Through this process, I found a new way of parenting. It is not based on control, fear, or obedience. It is built on connection, clarity, and loving boundaries. Today, I see children as whole, wise, and emotionally vibrant. I support children who are sensitive, anxious, intuitive, neurodivergent, curious, or simply unique. I also help parents who want to raise emotionally intelligent, confident, and joyful children, and who know that their own healing is part of that journey.
Butterfly Dreamers exists because lasting change does not begin with fixing behaviour. It starts with understanding what shaped us and gently rewriting the patterns that no longer serve.
If you choose to join us, I will walk this path with you. I will support you, guide you, and as we work together to create meaningful and lasting positive change, we'll be there to support you every step of the way.

Our Story
The story of Butterfly Dreamers began long before it had a name.
It began in the quiet space where life appears to work on the surface, yet something deeper feels unresolved. Old subconscious patterns, formed long before awareness, quietly shape emotions, relationships, and self-belief — often without us realising they are there.
These patterns are rarely born from a lack of love. More often, they are inherited through generations shaped by survival, emotional silence, and unspoken experiences. What is passed down unconsciously can feel personal, confusing, and difficult to change — until it is finally seen.
Motherhood became the turning point.
Raising children brings subconscious patterns into the light. To guide children with safety, confidence, and emotional intelligence, the inherited emotional coding first needed to be understood and gently rewritten. This realisation opened a deeper exploration into how the subconscious mind forms, protects, and influences behaviour — and how it can transform.
Through lived experience and professional study in emotional intelligence, subconscious work, intuition, sensory development, nature-based healing, and nervous system regulation, one truth became clear:
Families do not transform by fixing behaviour. They transform by healing what lives beneath it.
As emotional safety grows, children change naturally. As inner patterns soften, relationships shift. Confidence, calm, and connection emerge - not through control or correction, but through understanding.
Butterfly Dreamers was created from this knowing.
It exists to support children who feel deeply, think differently, or struggle within systems not designed for their nervous systems. It also supports parents who sense that traditional approaches miss something essential, and who are ready to explore a gentler, more conscious way of guiding their children.
At its heart, Butterfly Dreamers is about emotional inheritance - helping families release old subconscious patterns and create a new foundation of safety, trust, and connection.
This is how Butterfly Dreamers found its wings.

The Meaning Behind the Name
An ancient reflection from the Chinese philosopher Zhuangzi inspires butterfly Dreamers.
Zhuangzi once described a dream in which he was a butterfly - light, free, and unaware of being human. When he woke, he wondered whether he was a man who had dreamed of being a butterfly, or a butterfly now dreaming he was a man.
His reflection was not about confusion, but about awareness.
It reminds us that the boundary between our inner world and our outer life is not fixed. What we experience internally - our beliefs, emotions, and subconscious patterns - quietly shape how we live, how we relate, and how we parent.
Butterfly Dreamers honours this wisdom: When we awaken our inner world, our outer world is transformed.
