About The Held Mother - Jayde O'Reilly
Originally training and working as a midwife, my passion for supporting women and their families during the transition through pregnancy, birth and motherhood began. It was then through the birth of my four children, that I began to realize the immense need for support, nourishment and care in all seasons and beyond. The Held Mother began out of my own experience with birth and trauma, navigating new motherhood while trying to process the experience. In my subsequent births I then realized how much the body can hold and remember if not explored and released. It was there that I began my journey with bodywork and soon became passionate for helping to process emotions and release tension from the body. The Held Mother embodies trauma informed, compassionate care for women on all journeys, holding and supporting them to facilitate healing.
