About Expansive Healing
HEAL YOURSELF. HEAL YOUR WORLD.
WELCOME, SEEKER!
I'm Daphne
I'm so glad you stopped by. I'm Daphne Petty Fox, founder of Expansive Healing and creator of the Showing Up Matters online learning hub. Both grew from one belief: how we show up in our own lives and in the lives of others MATTERS. Indeed, it may be the only thing that really does.
I live in the beautiful state of Montana, just above Yellowstone National Park. I started teaching online in 2003, after becoming certified in facilitating online learning. Today I'm an instructor, educator, and certified neuroplasticity coach.
Online learning is my favorite way to teach because it puts these tools in reach of anyone with an internet connection, carrying a message of hope and renewal to the far corners of our globe. Seekers have joined us from as far away as Japan!
As an experienced educator, I create versatile learning experiences for diverse audiences, through my online courses and my contracted in-person and hybrid classes. I help those seeking their highest creative selves by teaching them to embody the tools and skills they need to live abundantly and create more positivity, love, and peace in their lives and in our world.

What Guides Expansive Healing
Mission
Expansive Healing offers online, face-to-face, and hybrid classes that empower people of all ages to create a more loving world, one positive thought and action at a time. Through a unique set of tools, delivered with a healthy dose of humor, we help Seekers learn, laugh, and experience positive growth in ways that enlighten, entertain, and transform their lives.
Vision
We envision a world where people live authentic, joyful, and fulfilling lives by intentionally choosing a positive state of consciousness to guide their thoughts, beliefs, and actions. We believe life is meant to be lived fully, and that each person's experiences, gifts, and talents add to the beautiful tapestry of our world, making it better for all.
Core Principles
Our Core Principles guide our actions, decisions, and interactions. They shape our culture and define who we are as an online learning hub.
Love and Compassion
We believe love, joy, compassion, gratitude, integrity, service, and a heartfelt desire to be happy are the foundation of healthy relationships and interactions.
Diversity and Inclusion
Everyone is welcome here. We support and affirm diversity and inclusiveness in every space we create.
Accountability
We strive for honesty, integrity, and accountability, as an organization and as individuals.
Responsibility
We are each responsible for our own thoughts and actions. This is the foundation of everything we teach.
Acts of Service
We are committed to serving marginalized populations by offering scholarships and pro bono opportunities through our classes, workshops, and printed materials.
Positivity
We create positivity in our world through how we intentionally show up in our own lives and in the lives of others.
What I Learned
It was during my own most difficult season that I realized how much the right tools and resources matter when navigating life's storms. That's why I'm dedicated to sharing these teachings with anyone who needs more tools and skills to move forward.
In 2021, I founded Showing Up Matters to teach the tools and skills I use to live abundantly, and to create a supportive community that any Seeker can reach, anytime they feel inspired to log in. It's a haven for anyone seeking guidance and support on the journey to their highest self.
Soul Work Can (and Should) Be Fun
My courses teach Seekers how to reclaim their personal power and start creating more of what they truly want in their lives. I'm a big believer in teaching with humor, because our brains learn more easily when we're relaxed and enjoying ourselves. Laugh with me or laugh at me, I'm good with either, as long as you're learning the tool! It's high time we intentionally added some fun to positive growth, isn't it?
Life's Obstacles
Every part of my work is a tribute to my loved ones on the other side. Expansive Healing honors the legacies of my late husband, Fred, my elder daughter, Layla, and my parents. Through my courses, I strive to help Seekers experience positive growth in ways beyond what they imagined possible, honoring their own hero's journey and embracing a future full of joy and expectation.
Life's obstacles and tragedies come to each of us. Sometimes they overwhelm us and rob us of the joy that is so freely available to us. Whether you want to build a skill set to rely on in hard times or you're already knee-deep in overwhelm, know that help and support are available when you're willing to do the work. It's a process, and it can begin today. The choice is yours.
