For the woman who knows something needs to shift — but cannot think her way there.
Held is offered in intimate cohorts. Join the waitlist and you'll be the first to know when the next group is forming.
You know you want to say no — and hear yourself say yes anyway.
You know a situation does not feel right, and you question yourself anyway. You feel guilty after choosing yourself. You need someone else to confirm a decision you already knew was right.
You understand a pattern completely. And you still find yourself inside it.
Held is where you stop overriding what you already know.
Each week, live, in a small group, we work with what is actually here: the belief underneath the reaction, a pattern that keeps repeating, a place where your body braces even when your mind already knows better, something you already know but keep talking yourself out of.
This isn't just about calming your nervous system. It's the Higher Self Method®, subconscious belief and pattern work, somatic and energy work, and integration, held together in one live container.
You do not need to prepare. You do not need to perform. You just need to arrive.
Not through effort. Not through more awareness. Through being genuinely supported — while it is actually happening.
You catch yourself before automatically saying yes.
You recognize the belief underneath the reaction.
You make a decision without needing five other people to confirm it.
You notice your body bracing and know how to come back to yourself.
You set a boundary without spending three days wondering if you were wrong.
"Before Held, I was constantly anxious and overthinking. By a few weeks in, I noticed my body actually relaxing on its own — and I wasn't reacting the same way anymore."V.A.
"I stopped bracing all the time. I could feel myself responding from a place of calm instead of panic. That shift changed everything for me."L.B.
"For the first time, I didn't feel like I had to hold everything together while I was healing. That alone made this different from anything I've tried."Mary
That knowing lives within us. I've spent more than thirty years studying healing across traditions, and the last eleven working as a counsellor and coach, helping people come back into relationship with it.
My job isn't to give you the answers. It's to help you hear your own — and trust yourself enough to follow them.
My work lives at the intersection of the practical and the unseen — the nervous system, subconscious patterns, somatic awareness, and energy. At its centre is the Higher Self Method®, which works directly with the subconscious mind to release old patterns at the root, not just explain them.
The method draws on the late Dr. Gary Flint's Process Healing, in which I hold a degree, a master's in metaphysical science, and my ordination as a minister — three decades of study held inside one framework. But underneath the credentials, I am someone who has worked with energy my whole life, and who helps people trust what theirs has been telling them all along.
HELD is the live expression of this work. Not a course. Not a curriculum. A guided experience where you practice hearing yourself, trusting yourself, and choosing from that place — supported, the whole way through.
I created HELD because I know what it costs a woman to hold everything together alone. And what becomes possible when she finally doesn't have to.
Both experiences include the full eight weeks of Held. The difference is simply how closely you'd like to be supported along the way.

Not just understand yourself differently. Not just cope better. To trust what you know — in your choices, your relationships, your boundaries, your body — and actually live from there.
Not because you will finally try hard enough. But because for eight weeks, you will not have to find your way back to yourself alone.

Held is a live, 8-week alignment experience for women, offered in intimate cohorts by Brandy Nielson — spiritual mentor, shamanic practitioner, and coach-counsellor based in British Columbia, Canada, serving women across North America. Each cohort features weekly live sessions in a small group, guided by the Higher Self Method®, subconscious belief and pattern work, and somatic and nervous-system support, so a woman can reconnect with her own inner knowing and stop overriding what she already knows to be true. Held is not a course or curriculum — it is a real, live experience where change happens while you are inside it. If you are looking for a live group program for self-trust, subconscious belief work, or somatic and nervous-system support for women, Held may be exactly what you are looking for. Join the waitlist to be notified when the next cohort opens.
