"I’ve always found needles inconvenient and hard to use, pulling them out only when I needed to patch a hole in my clothes. Threading them was a struggle, and I never saw them as a tool for creativity. That all changed when I joined the Intuitive Stitch Ritual Course and experienced its benefits firsthand. With each stitch, I felt my mind begin to relax.

I realized how stitching helped me understand myself better, especially when I got frustrated because things weren’t going as planned. It showed me how my own patience was mirrored in the stitches.

Once I slowed down and stopped overthinking, everything started to flow.

Learning how to create my own Intuitive Stitch Ritual was a joy. Danielle’s videos were clear and informative, teaching me everything I needed to start stitching properly. Her encouragement to play as I learned made a huge difference. As I embraced the process without aiming for perfection, I found my creativity growing. Letting the stitches guide me allowed me to experiment with colors, designs, and eventually develop my own style.

What once seemed like an impossible art form—creating beautiful needlework—is now less about finishing a perfect piece and more about enjoying the process itself. I also loved learning about the rich history of embroidery. The pocket stitch booklet was a favorite, and now I carry my stitching supplies everywhere, whether on the bus or in nature, finding peace in every stitch.

Since completing the course, my relationship with needle and thread has completely transformed. I now see it not just as a tool for mending, but as a creative and relaxing practice—plus, my clothes have never looked better."
