Moms deserve more.

You deserve to be held with compassion as you embark on your journey into motherhood.

This journey, often called matrescence, is a metamorphosis that extends far beyond childbirth–you’re becoming a new and different version of yourself.

And on this journey, you deserve gentle support and radical empowerment.

That’s why I offer affordable, inclusive postpartum services designed to hold you with care. My approach is hands-on, heart-forward, providing logistical and emotional support so you can focus on what matters: connecting with your baby, your intuition, and your new identity.

Here’s what you can expect working with me:

Support for your intuition: I believe in the power of your inner wisdom. I’ll create a safe space for you to connect with your instincts and make informed decisions.

Hands-on, heart-forward care: I’ll provide practical help and emotional support, so you can focus on bonding with your baby and growing into your identity as a mother.

Community and resources: I’ll connect you with local resources and help you build a network of support to empower you on your motherhood journey.

Client Testimonials

“In just a few hours each week, Lauren gave us a sense of normalcy, made us feel like we weren’t actually drowning, and made our home a happy place to be nap-trapped in. Her thoughtful little touches, like a note on a freshly-made bed or a funny arrangement of our toddler’s stuffed animals, made us smile on tough days and made us feel supported and less alone. She is a wonderful person and we are forever grateful for her help!”

“Lauren was very open, communicative, and present. She checked in often and reminded us of the resources available to us. She was incredibly validating and could speak to the challenges facing postpartum moms and families. Her work and support changes the all-too-common narrative and cultural norm of postpartum experiences being isolating and overwhelming. I would 100% recommend working with Lauren. ”

“Lauren showed up every day ready to support me and our family with a positive attitude and honest advice. She made delicious meals, offered helpful information, and was always there to talk me through tough decisions. My postpartum experience was absolutely enhanced by Lauren. She was able to care for me in ways I didn’t even know to ask for, and it changed my postpartum experience entirely.”

The birth of the mother matters, too.

Too often, mothers spend all of their time holding space for others. Let me hold space for you and your courageous journey into motherhood.

Reach out today and let’s create an intuitively-guided, holistic postpartum experience that supports and holds you.

A note about inclusivity:

The journey of welcoming a new baby looks different for everyone, and not everyone who has a baby identifies as a mom. At The Held Mother, I celebrate that diversity and believe every family deserves amazing support.

My services are all about YOU, whether you identify as a mom, dad, non-binary parent, or somewhere in between. I work with families of all backgrounds, including LGBTQ+ folks, adoptive parents and poly families, to make sure everyone feels comfortable and gets the personalized care they need.
