Held: A Nervous System Reset for Mothers & Babies
Facilitated by Philippa Scott & Amanda Fincham
You became a mother. And everything changed.
Your body. Your heart. Your nervous system. The very foundation of who you are shifted, and suddenly you're navigating a world that feels both miraculous and overwhelming.
What if we told you this isn't something to fix or overcome — but something to understand, honor, and work with?
This is your invitation to be held.
The Story You're Living
Every day, you hold your baby. You hold your family together. You hold space for everyone else's needs. But who holds you?
Your nervous system remembers everything — your own childhood, your birth experience, the moment you first held your baby. It carries the weight of generational patterns, the beauty of deep love, and sometimes the overwhelm of it all.
You weren't meant to figure this out alone. You weren't meant to regulate in isolation.
What if feeling calm, grounded, and capable isn't about doing more — but about coming home to the wisdom already within you?
The Awakening
In this sacred 2-hour experience, we create space for a different kind of mothering. One where you don't have to choose between caring for your baby and caring for yourself. Where regulation isn't something you achieve — it's something you remember.
Your baby comes too. Because they're not separate from your healing. They're part of your awakening, woven into the very rhythm of your nervous system's return to safety.
Together, we'll explore:
The Mother You're Becoming
How your nervous system was rewired through pregnancy, birth, and the profound transformation of matrescence — and why understanding this changes everything.
The Intensity Has Purpose
Why motherhood feels so overwhelming (and how your body's protective responses are actually intelligent design).
The Energy Exchange
How your nervous system state becomes your baby's first language — and how to speak it with intention.
Embodied Regulation Tools
Practices drawn from craniosacral therapy that help you access calm from within, even in the chaos.
Rewiring the Stories
Gentle ways to soften the unconscious beliefs that keep you feeling "not enough" or "too much."
Your Daily Rituals
Simple, sacred practices to anchor both you and your baby when the world feels too big.
This Is Your Permission
To bring your baby. To feed them, comfort them, let them sleep in your arms while you receive.
To feel whatever comes up. Joy, grief, relief, overwhelm — all of it is welcome here.
To rest. To be held. To remember that you don't have to earn your worth through perfect mothering.
To trust that you're exactly where you need to be. Even when — especially when — it doesn't feel that way.
Who This Is For
Mothers with babies (ideally under 18 months) who are ready to move beyond surviving into thriving
Women who feel the call to something deeper than just "getting through" the early days
Anyone sensing there's a different way to experience motherhood — one rooted in nervous system wisdom rather than cultural pressure
Mothers who want to break cycles, not just manage them
