If you’ve ever tried to rest and felt your skin crawl…

or picked up a hobby and immediately felt the urge to master it... this guide is for you.

Stitch by Stitch isn’t a knitting tutorial—it’s a soft, sensory entry point into nervous system healing. Through gentle repetition, warm texture, and forgiving process, this guide helps you practice being present in your body without needing to be perfect.

You don’t need to be “crafty.” You don’t need to be good at it. You just need to be willing to start.

Stitch by Stitch is…

For you, if…

  • You struggle to rest without guilt

  • You crave routine but freeze when it’s not perfect

  • You’re tired of turning healing into another checklist

  • You’ve tried hobbies before but felt discouraged when you weren’t instantly good

  • You want to feel better—not just think about what would help

Not for you if…

  • You’re looking for a step-by-step knitting tutorial

  • You want fast results or a high-achievement challenge

  • You’re not ready to slow down or feel your feelings (even just a little)

  • You need 1:1 therapy (although it is therapy adjacent).
