Hello Flutters 

Helping children understand what they feel—so they can move forward with confidence.

Children's book titled "Hello Flutters! Tala and Toog Tower" by Dr. Maria Grace Wolk featuring an animated squirrel wearing goggles standing on a rock with one fist raised, a large tree with treehouses in the background, and a grassy landscape with flowers.

Hello, I’m Dr. Maria Grace

Grounded healing for women navigating fear and trauma

I’m a licensed Psychotherapist and creator of the G.R.A.C.E. Matrix®—a trauma-informed framework rooted in neuroscience, mindfulness, and compassion.

I help women move out of survival mode, understand their inner world, and reconnect with a grounded sense of self.

A message on living aligned with your values.

A reflection on purpose, fear, and choosing a life that feels true.

Who this is for

For Parents

Helping children understand big emotions and feel safe expressing what they experience.

For Therapists

A gentle, story-based tool to support emotional processing and connection.

For Educators

Supporting emotional awareness and creating space for meaningful classroom conversations.

What Others Are Experiencing

Real experiences from those supporting children through big emotions.

“This book helped my child open up.
It gave us language for emotions we didn’t know how to talk about.”

— Parent of a 6 year-old

“A beautiful and practical resource for the classroom.
It creates space for meaningful emotional conversations.”

— Elementary School Teacher

“A gentle, powerful tool that supports emotional processing in a way children truly understand.”

Child Therapist

Every child deserves to feel understood.

When children can understand their emotions, they don’t just get through hard moments, they begin to trust themselves.

Hello Flutters is a starting place for those conversations; simple, supportive, and something you can return to again and again.

If this work resonates with you, I share deeper conversations on fear, healing, and emotional well-being through my podcast and YouTube channel.
