Healing Hearts was born from a deeply personal journey of transformation and resilience. It began during a challenging breakup, a time when I longed for community and understanding. I was looking for people who could truly see and appreciate the silent battles I had fought and won. In those moments of vulnerability, I realized that the support I craved was not always visible, yet it existed beneath the surface, quietly shared among those who had endured similar heartaches.

As a mental health therapist, I began to notice the subtle but powerful connections formed through shared experiences. My clients were seeking ways to articulate their stories without words, to celebrate their survival and strength. That shared understanding sparked an idea. What if healing could be held in your hands, worn on your body, and carried with you every single day?

Crochet became my medium. I envisioned a project that would not only serve as a personal talisman but also create connection and visibility for experiences that are too often suffered in silence. With a palette of modern, vibrant colors inspired by mid-century modern aesthetics, I crafted pieces that represented hearts. Not one-size-fits-all hearts, but the specific heart of someone healing from coercive control, or parental alienation, or racial oppression, or financial abuse.

Every belief statement in the Healing Hearts collection was written with intention and care. The statements are rooted in the clinical standards for positive cognitions used in EMDR therapy, informed by years of working with survivors and by advanced specialization in narcissistic abuse recovery. These are not generic affirmations. They were built to actually work.

Healing Hearts quickly grew beyond a personal project. It became a beacon of support and empathy, a place where stories of survival are celebrated openly. By sharing these creations, I wanted to invite others to engage, to find solace and strength in the collective narrative of recovery.

Together we can embrace our stories, celebrate our resilience, and continue to weave a tapestry of hope and healing for all.

Healing Hearts products are not a substitute for mental health treatment.
