You Are Held

Gentle Wellbeing Support for Those on a Cancer Journey, During Illness or Recovery

Sometimes in life we simply need space, to pause, breathe, and feel supported.

You Are Held is a gentle, presence-led wellbeing experience created by Denise, offering a calm and nurturing space where you can slow down and be met exactly where you are.

During this time you are held here, by the space, by nature, and by gentle presence.

Your time may gently weave together conversation, quiet reflection, mindfulness-based practices, meditation, supportive therapeutic touch, or time spent walking in nature in the peaceful surroundings of the glen.

This experience may be especially supportive for those navigating times of uncertainty or change - including those on a cancer journey, during cancer recovery, recovering from illness or surgery, experiencing heightened stress, or simply needing time to gather their thoughts and reconnect with a sense of steadiness and calm.

Everything unfolds intuitively and is shaped around what feels right for you on the day.

My Story

You Are Held was born from a very personal moment in my own life.

Following recent surgery, I found myself in a place of vulnerability and uncertainty. Thankfully, my outcome was positive and I did not require further treatment, but that time brought a deep realisation.

What I longed for most was not advice, solutions, or fixing.
What I needed was simply to feel held.

Not always physically, but emotionally and energetically. To feel safe, supported and cared for in a quiet, gentle way. Sometimes that meant sitting with a shawl wrapped around my shoulders, allowing myself to soften and breathe.

It was in those moments that the words You Are Held came to me.

Through many years working in holistic wellbeing, including supporting people living with serious illness and those receiving palliative care, I have seen how powerful it can be when someone is given the space to simply be - without expectation or pressure.

This offering has grown from that understanding.

You Are Held is a quiet space at Maycroft where people can come exactly as they are - especially during times of change, challenge or uncertainty.

A space to pause.
To breathe.
To feel supported.

Because sometimes what you need most is simply to know that 'you are held'.
