So much of motherhood is about holding — holding your baby, holding responsibilities, holding emotions, and holding the many changes that come with this new chapter of life.
But who holds the mother?
Held is a monthly Creative Arts support circle created for expecting mothers and mothers within the first year postpartum who are seeking connection, reflection, and a space to simply be.
Pregnancy and early motherhood bring profound transitions — emotionally, physically, relationally, and within our sense of identity. Alongside the love and joy can also come exhaustion, uncertainty, anxiety, loneliness, overwhelm, and the question:
“Who am I becoming?”
This group offers a safe, compassionate space to explore the transition into motherhood while connecting with other mothers walking a similar path.
Through guided conversation, creative arts therapy, gentle movement, mindfulness, and nervous system-based practices, participants will have the opportunity to reconnect with themselves, process their experiences, and feel supported in community.
You may find yourself wondering:
• Who am I now that I am becoming a mother?
• How do I care for myself while caring for my baby?
• How do I navigate changes in my body, relationships, and identity?
• How can I feel more grounded and connected during this season?
Whether you are preparing to welcome your baby or navigating life with a little one, all parts of your motherhood experience are welcome here.
Each session includes a structured monthly theme while allowing space for organic conversation and what participants are bringing into the room.
Month 1: Entering Motherhood — Honoring the Transition
Exploring expectations, emotions, birth stories, hopes, fears, and the journey into becoming a mother.
Month 2: The Mother Within — Identity & Self
Reflecting on identity shifts, changing roles, body image, creativity, and reconnecting with yourself.
Month 3: Holding Yourself — Nervous System Support
Learning grounding practices, regulation tools, and compassionate ways to care for yourself while caring for your baby.
Month 4: Relationships, Support & The Changing Family System
Exploring partnership changes, family dynamics, boundaries, communication, and asking for support.
Month 5: The Full Spectrum of Motherhood
Making space for all emotions — joy, grief, anxiety, guilt, overwhelm, gratitude, and love.
Month 6: Integration — Growing with Compassion
Honoring your growth, strengthening confidence, and creating sustainable practices for the next chapter.
