held in story
Held In Story is a space where birth stories come to rest, to be held with reverence and honored.
Through deep presence, we carry and guard the sacred stories of birth. Not every mother has been held beyond birth and we want every journey witnessed.
Every story, regardless of circumstance becomes part of the sacred circle of birth.
about me
Ellie Squirek
Hello, my name is Ellie and I live in Columbus, OH. I'm a wife, a home birth mom to our 2 year old son, and here I serve as a story listener. I created Held In Story out of a longing to see mothers truly carried beyond birth. This work goes deeper than postpartum support, I hold space for mothers, families, and birth workers to share the stories resting in their hearts. Whether your story carries joy, grief, complexity, or wonder, it deserves to be witnessed, carried, and honored.
