Hi, I’m Michele, and I am so glad you are here. Held in Love was born out
of the healing and transformation process I went through after the sudden collapse of my marriage.
During this time, I frequently woke up in the middle of the night wishing to feel the hug of a friend, wanting to chat, but instead ended up surfing the internet looking for a lifeline, inspiration, some form of support.
There were many nights when the only way I could sleep was if I imagined myself wrapped in angels’ wings. This was a tender space, and when I would do this my body would soften and a deep peace would wash over me. My thoughts would quiet and my breathing would shift into soothing waves lulling me to deeply rest.
It was here, wrapped in these wings, that I began to feel gratitude for what I did have and gained strength to begin again each day. It was here that I knew I would make it through.
Our Story
It was from this experience that Held In Love was born with the intention of creating a gift that would offer this feeling of deep peace and of being wrapped, held, and sustained by love, friends, family and life itself.
As a Reiki practitioner for 17 years, I knew that by infusing blankets and scarves with Reiki, it would be become possible to literally wrap oneself in healing energy and love in a way that can be accessed anytime, anywhere.
Although our stories may be different, what we all share in common is we know what it’s like to live with a before and after.
We know what it’s like to have your world turned upside down….to feel like you are going to break into a million pieces.
To literally not know if and how you are going to make it through.
To have lost or be separated from those that mean the most. We know what it feels like to feel alone, frightened, and scared. With having to accept a reality we would not have chosen. We know what it feels like to question everything you thought you knew to be true.
We know that although we often can’t change certain situations, we can still control how we respond and how we connect to each other through it all.
We can choose to reach for the light.
We can choose to bring forth our best selves again and again, even when that means just surviving the day. We can choose to dare to hope, to dream again, and to live fully. We can choose to show up for each other in a way that is meaningful and real: with a hand to hold, a warm embrace and a listening ear, so that no one has to walk their journey alone.
