Through my hands

A personal narrative with psychological depth for those who love needlework or would like to get started.

Through My Hands is a warm and life-affirming story about how needlework can bring peace, joy, and meaning into everyday life. With her personal story, Maria Bjerg shows how something as simple as creating with your hands can open the door to greater joy and presence in life.

The book is a tribute to slow, creative work – and to the greatness hidden in the small things. In a time where many experience pressure and malaise, Maria Bjerg points to a path back to oneself through creativity and immersion. Needlework becomes not just a hobby here, but a source of hope, healing, and well-being.

With support from psychological research and her own experiences, Maria Bjerg shows how using your hands can both strengthen mental well-being and create meaning in a meaningless time.

Through My Hands is an inspiring reminder that there are always small steps toward better quality of life – and that we all need, from time to time, to get out of our heads and experience life through our hands.
