Beautiful, capable, sensitive, inquisitive souls. I see you, I hear you, I am here to support you.
I’m Kate (she/her), founder of Held. I am so glad you are here and I am honoured to journey the (sometimes rocky) pathway of learning how to human with you.
In my life so far, I’ve sped up, slowed down and switched my country roots for concrete jungles. The last decade and a half has seen me climbing up, down and not too long ago, completely off the rungs of the corporate ladder. Amidst all the changes, what has always remained the same about me is my curiosity: how we each fit in here, how we can live a life of ease, peace and deep(er) understanding of ourselves and each other and why that is important.
I feel things very deeply so I understand what it might be like for you to do the same.
It seems to be a commonly shared human experience, and challenge, to feel the weight of every-day life and I believe that every person has the right to feel supported, whole and well in the experience of theirs. I have been down my fair share of rabbit-holes and times when the world didn’t feel so light or bright, and I have had people close to me live their whole lives in challenge and never knew where to turn for support and holding, how to find the words to talk about what was happening for them or where to find someone to listen. I offer Held as a space where you can come to take explorations that spark your curiosity, provide you with support in those times when life feels heavy or overwhelming and to remind you that you are not alone in your experience of being you.

Held is driven by the deep-seated commitment to offer guidance, enable connection to self and others , co-navigate with you out of any stuck-ness, build resilience in a messy world and encourage permission to be yourself as you do so.
I care about meaningful connection and I am humbled, curious and grateful to share these modalities, discoveries and curiosities with you.
