Judith
A survivor of terrible trauma, Judith first began sewing as a way to keep herself active and engaged after years of suffering. Soon she realized that the process was actually healing her and told us, "Sewing is therapy to me. It helps me channel negative energy into beautiful pieces of shareable love".
Now that she has found her passion, Judith is helping other women heal who have suffered similar trauma. Her focus and dedication have had an enormous impact on her recovery, and now on the lives of other women. She says that with each stitch, she is slowly taking back her power, rebuilding herself after years of suffering.
