Held Mothercare | Nourishment + Spiritual Care for Mothers

nourishment + ritual + soul support
to hold mothers through
seasons of transformation

What is Mothercare?

Care that nourishes the maternal body,

honors the wisdom of the wild soul,

and invites mothers to tend the fire

of their personal + collective transformation

While I co-create personalized plans of care with each 1:1 client and design unique

Community Circle experiences, the core elements of the care I offer are:

Community Tending

Together, we'll weave or strengthen your web of support so you feel more held and sustained in your daily life, long after this period of attentive care.

Nourishing Food

Choose from my seasonal menu of nutrient-dense, easy-to-digest meals, snacks, and beverages – or hand over your recipe book! I prepare your selections in your kitchen space, then take care of storage and cleanup.

Resources

As you identify areas where you desire additional support, I can connect you with resources and make personalized recommendations that align with your priorities.

Rest + Practical Support

I cook, offer newborn care, and do dishes/laundry/light cleaning tasks so you can rest deeply or otherwise tend the fire of your transformation.

Spiritual Care

I witness your transformation with reverence, trusting the sacred process unfolding within you and creating spaces to notice, honor, and integrate your emerging wisdom.

Restorative Body Care

Support your healing, wellbeing, and rest with nurturing, body-warming practices. Select from a menu of options, and I facilitate these practices in your home.

Held's Vision

The in-home sessions and collective circles offered by Held Mothercare flow from my devotion to thriving Life. I believe we are all designed to thrive and deserve to thrive – not just mothers, not just mothers who can afford Held's services, but the full spectrum of wonderfully diverse human and more-than-human Life on this planet.

I choose to work with mothers because I have traveled the transformative journey into motherhood myself, know how to support the restoration of the landscape of the maternal body, and because I know that mothers are inherently world-builders. Thriving mothers who live from their center form the foundation for healthy families, intact communities, and a vibrant world ecosystem. I trust in the transformational power of the dreams and creative energies that flow from mothers when they are nourished, honored, and connected to their authentic selves. I trust they will help lead us all to thriving.

In addition to my direct work with mothers, I seek to educate individuals, families, and communities such that they move to value and center the needs of the mothers and caregivers in their lives. Together, we can create a Life-giving culture where we can collectively heal, flourish, and thrive in balance with all of Life – clearing a path for future generations to do the same.

HELD Mothercare Plan

(6 Weeks)

1 intake visit +

6 weeks of weekly OR twice weekly home visits +

1 closing/integration visit

Held Mothercare Plans tend to mothers one year postpartum and beyond and mothers who did not birth their children, honoring the unique spiritual and physiologic needs that arise as you traverse experiences of disorientation, transformation, and integration within your motherhood journey. Together, we will create a custom plan of care that centers your needs – then let that plan lead us for 6 weeks.

This plan is for you if you find yourself desiring time and space to explore your transition(s) into motherhood, whether your birth occurred one year ago or fifty years ago.

This plan is also for you if you are living into new terrain of any kind, such as:

- becoming a stepmother or blending families

- a divorce or separation

- adoption or surrogacy

- returning to work or changing jobs

- transitioning to an at-home role

- grieving the death of a loved one or child

- weathering a period of extended illness

- or experiencing depletion and in need of support to identify and center your needs.

1 intake visit +

6 weeks of weekly OR twice weekly home visits +

Grieve Postpartum Care Plans tend to the unique physiologic and spiritual needs of mothers who have experienced reproductive loss – including abortion, miscarriage, and stillbirth. Together, we will create a custom plan of care that centers your needs – then let that plan lead us for 6 weeks.

Anyone who becomes pregnant needs postpartum recovery, and so few mothers who experience a loss receive the honoring and nourishment they need in their postpartum time. This care plan is for you whether you are in immediate postpartum (0-6 weeks after your loss) or your loss occurred many years ago. If you desire 6 weeks of honoring and nourishment to tend to your body and your experience of loss, this is the plan for you.
