About My Heartspace

We turned our grief into something meaningful.

We’ve lost people we deeply loved. And looking back, we wish we had more, their voice, their words, their presence. That absence became our why. We created My Heartspace so others don’t have to feel that same regret.

About My Heartspace

We turned our grief into something meaningful.

We’ve lost people we deeply loved. And looking back, we wish we had more, their voice, their words, their presence. That absence became our why. We created My Heartspace so others don’t have to feel that same regret.

Our purpose

We help people stay meaningful to their loved ones, even after they’re gone.

Why My Heartspace?

We all know that life is too short

Confronted with loss at a young age, Julian has long felt the emptiness of unanswered questions and missed conversations. After taking a year-long sabbatical to travel through Europe in a camper, he found the time and inspiration to create a meaningful change in how we cope with loss. Driven by his experiences, Julian and his team developed a seamless way to celebrate life and express heartfelt messages to loved ones. They hope you find the same support and courage through My Heartspace.

Our Mission

Let love live on.

At My Heartspace, we help people leave behind personal messages for after they’re gone. Words filled with love, memories, or guidance, delivered at just the right moment. Not just to be remembered, but to still mean something.

For those left behind, these messages make all the difference: a moment of comfort, a sign you’re still near, a piece of you that stays.

Step by step

From idea to impact , here’s how we got here.

Every step we took brought us closer to what My Heartspace is today: a place to preserve love, memories and words that matter. Follow our journey.
