THE HEART'S MYSTERY

Held Together is a gentle, baby-led series for mothers and babies in the early months, held in Petersfield.

It offers a calm, contained space to slow down and settle together — without pressure to keep up, perform, or do things “right”.

Sessions move at the baby’s pace, with space to pause, feed, rest, move, or simply be together. Babies are welcome to sleep, fuss, stretch, or be held at any time.

Across the four-week series, sessions may gently include simple baby massage (demonstrated and always optional), guided breath and relaxation for mothers, gentle self-massage practices, and quiet humming or lullabies.

Everything offered is adaptable, and observation is always enough.

The series is suitable for mothers with babies from around 6 weeks to pre-crawling (approximately 6 months). Groups are kept small to maintain a calm, supportive atmosphere and allow familiarity to build over time.

Held Together is not a class to keep up with or a programme to complete.

It is a space to arrive, be supported, and build confidence gently, in a way that feels right for you and your baby.

Alongside group sessions, private one-to-one support (Held 1:1) is also available for mothers who prefer a quieter or more personalised setting.

Pram space at the Centre is limited. Where possible, slings or baby carriers are encouraged, though pushchairs are welcome and can usually be left in the foyer outside the studio. Please ensure fire exits and safety equipment remain clear at all times.

Babies are welcome exactly as they are — feeding, sleeping, fussing, and taking breaks are all part of the space.
