Their Story

Their journey began in 2018 when their Founder Lianna Genovese met Elissa, a woman with Cerebral Palsy who loves to paint. As her condition progressed, she experienced spasticity and weakness in her hand, making holding and using a paintbrush impossible.

Elissa had lost her confidence, passion, and creativity. Inspired to reignite Elissa’s passion, Lianna created the company’s first product, Guided Handsâ„¢. Elissa is amongst millions of people with a medical condition or injury experiencing limited hand mobility. A few months later, Lianna met Bella, a girl with Cerebral Palsy at McMaster Children’s Hospital.
