HELD — A Postpartum Guide to Nervous System Care

HELD — A Postpartum Guide to Nervous System Care

A gentle place to land in the tender season after birth.

Postpartum isn’t just about healing a body — it’s about supporting a nervous system that has been profoundly changed.

Your world has shifted.
Your identity has stretched.
Your needs are different now.

Held was created for this in-between space — when you love your baby deeply but don’t always feel okay inside yourself.

This is not a routine.
It’s not a list of things to do.
It’s a soft companion for the fourth trimester and beyond.

A place to breathe.
A place to feel held.

What is Held?

Held is a beautifully designed digital guide from The Mothers Haven that supports you through the emotional, hormonal, and nervous system changes of early motherhood.

It gently weaves together:

• Nervous system awareness
• Postpartum validation
• Soft rituals and grounding practices
• Words that remind you that you matter too

Everything inside is designed to help you feel safer in your body, calmer in your mind, and more supported in this tender season.

This guide is for you if…

• You feel overwhelmed, emotional, or overstimulated since having your baby
• You’re adjusting to a new identity and don’t quite recognise yourself yet
• You want support that feels kind, not clinical
• You need something gentle to come back to when things feel hard

You don’t need to be calm to use this.
You don’t need to be “together.”
You just need to arrive as you are.

What makes Held different

Most postpartum resources tell you how to cope.

Held helps your nervous system feel safe enough to soften.

It doesn’t ask you to fix yourself.
It reminds you that you’re already doing something deeply meaningful — even on the days that feel messy, heavy, or quiet.

This guide exists to hold you, while you hold everyone else.
