We live our lives in the clothes we wear. They are the objects we touch every day.
Caring for them is one way of caring for ourselves.
Mending and altering garments asks for patience, attention, and care, the same qualities you’ll find in Clarity Sessions and educational work with Illuminated Insights. This hands-on practice offers me grounding and restoration, a chance to slow down and work with my body as well as my mind. Helping you love your wardrobe again can restore for you a sense of comfort for daily life, especially during seasons of transition or change.
Illuminated Threads is here as a reminder that not everything broken is meant to be replaced; some things can be taken apart, tended to, and made livable again.
“All of my favorite pieces of clothing have been repaired, customized, or re-structured over again for many years. Working with my hands to breathe life into a well-loved dress or create a custom statement from a loved one’s memory allows me time to return home to the first practice I learned to better care for myself and my life.”
