HELD

Be seen. Be heard. Be held.

Humans need connection and touch to survive & thrive.

With the current epidemics of loneliness and touch deprivation, our wellbeing as individuals and society is suffering. HELD offers carefully crafted experiences to help people, communities and organizations deepen connection and destigmatize touch.

“HELD is like a gym for your soul.”

– Meg B

We create opportunities to build empathy, improve communication and practice caring touch.

HELD combines elements of authentic relating, somatic healing, consent education, and other tools and methodologies to deliver signature workshops and experiences that enable people to feel seen, heard, and held – and empower them to bring it into their lives and the world.

Connection is why we’re here. It’s what gives meaning and purpose to our lives.

Hi, I’m Aviva

I founded and am the lead facilitator of HELD. Although my background is working with brands and communication, my life’s purpose is creating more connection and compassion in the world. HELD emerged out of a moment of inspiration in 2018 – and after 50+ events, a pandemic, and an increasing amount of polarization and dehumanization, it seems we need it now more than ever.
