Compassionate, no-cost mental health care

💛 Why Freely Held?

Sometimes life feels heavy. That weight isn’t always about income.

Stress, burnout, and nervous system overwhelm can show up no matter what your financial situation looks like.

Freely Held is a no-cost offering created to increase access to support for those who are feeling financially stretched, emotionally depleted, or in need of care they might otherwise postpone. You don’t have to explain or justify where you are. If you're drawn to this space, you're welcome here.

Inspired by the generosity of Ismatu g and the Insight Retreat Center, Freely Held is rooted in gratitude, reciprocity, and the belief that healing belongs to all of us.

💫 What’s offered

  • 10 one-on-one sessions are available each month
    These sessions are offered in the spirit of mutual care. There’s no set limit per person; take what feels supportive, and trust that others will do the same. More may be added depending on collective capacity and community generosity.

  • Full-length, relational sessions
    Each session is 90 minutes, professional and private, with the same depth of care offered in paid work. This is not brief or secondary care.

  • No cost, no documentation, no diagnosis required
    No intake forms, no hoops. Just you, as you are.

🪷 Receiving a session

In a 90-minute session held over Zoom, you’ll be met with warmth, care, and a pace that respects your capacity. Together, we’ll slow down, listen to what’s present in your body, and gently explore what might help you feel more supported and grounded.

There is no pitch, no pressure, and no expectation. This is simply care, freely offered.

If this feels like the right next step for you, I invite you to schedule a Freely Held session:

  1. Use the button below to book a Self-Exploration Session

  2. Enter the code FREELYHELD082025 at checkout to receive it at no cost

Note: If the coupon code no longer works, it likely means all sessions for the month have been claimed. I’ll do my best to update this page when that happens - thank you for your care and understanding. If that’s the case, you're warmly invited to check back next month when more sessions will be made available.

🤲 Want to support?

Freely Held is made possible in part through the generous community contributions of those who wish to ensure that care remains accessible to all. You can:

  • Gift sessions to others who may not have access to care (this directly increases my capacity to offer no-cost care beyond the 10 base sessions each month)

  • Share this offering to help it reach those in need

Your support helps ensure that healing is held, not withheld.
