Magic’s Inspiration
“Love is the one ingredient that makes all life worthwhile.”
The initial inspiration for the pillows came from Magic, Aline’s therapy dog and companion. He was a stray — a Bichon/Poodle mix — who showed up on her doorstep one day. It was love at first sight.
It was Magic’s choice to dedicate his life to doing healing work with Aline. For 15 years, he dutifully assisted every therapy session. When he passed away, he left a large hole in the hearts of all who knew and loved him. The original HEART pillow was inspired by his desire to remind everyone that love is the one ingredient that makes life worthwhile.
Designing the Nurture To Heal™ Therapeutic Pillows
The pillows inserted themselves in our lives organically. Years ago, Aline and Laura discovered that they both used pillows of various sizes, shapes, and weights in their therapeutic somatic work. Both Laura and Aline felt that the use of pillows significantly enhanced the nurturing aspect of their work, and found that this nurturing was greatly appreciated by their clients, particularly by those who struggled with early trauma.
In early 2012, we officially began designing pillows for the NeuroAffective Touch® trainings. Laura and Aline brought their collection of pillows to the design table (the dining table), and Victor and Laura set out to make patterns and design prototypes. Laura and Victor have a similar understanding of the fabrication process, and they worked their “magic” together. They tested a plethora of shapes, sizes, weights, and fabrics for feel and malleability in the process of finalizing what is now the Nurture to Heal™ Therapeutic Pillow Collection.
