What assumptions do you hold about what it means to be a "good" space holder?

Perhaps you’ve been taught that space holding should look a certain way. And maybe it’s made you believe that your vulnerability is a weakness, that your intuition isn't worthy of being compensated, and that your magick isn't "trauma-informed enough", and that you've only done your job well, if you solve your client’s problems, fix what's "broken"...

We’re scratching the surface of three big pieces that shape how you hold space:

• Biases: Do you name them, or hide behind neutrality?
• Boundaries: Do they feel like rejection, or devotion to your values?
• Privilege: Are you aware of how your lens of identity and access shapes your work?

This is about building a business that honors your actual energy, not the one you think you “should” have.

It’s about syncing with your nervous system, your inner seasons, and your real-time capacity, not societal expectations, industry standards or trying to keep up with someone else’s pace.

You’re here to hold, not fix. The urge to soothe, solve, or save is strong, especially for women taught to be selfless caregivers. But holding space means allowing the full emotional spectrum, without trying to rush it or quiet it down.

Think: handing someone a tissue not to stop their tears, but to let them know their tears are safe here. That’s co-regulation. That’s relational safety. That’s what dissolves power imbalances.

Planning’s fine, but attachment to that plan? Not so much. Flexibility is key. When you enter a session with a rigid agenda, you risk missing what’s truly alive in the moment. Holding space isn’t about performing or proving your expertise; it’s about attuning to what your client actually needs—not what you prepped for.

Rupture and repair are inevitable in any relationship. It’s how you navigate them that counts. When something goes wrong—a misstep, an assumption, or a freeze—it’s a chance for real growth, integrity, and embodied safety. This is the difference between performative safety and embodied safety. This is where integrity is either embodied or exposed.

Relational business is about building genuine, ongoing connection with your community—beyond just the moment of a sale. It centers care, consent, and reciprocity in every interaction, from DMs to discovery calls to how you hold space post-container. It’s not about avoiding opinions or playing small—it’s about expressing yourself in ways that create safety and belonging, not urgency or shame.

Your offers and pricing should reflect your actual life—not an industry blueprint. This means creating from your current capacity, values, and season instead of copying what’s trending. When you shape your business from a relational place, it becomes sustainable. You stop building a cage disguised as success.

You weren’t meant to do this alone.

Holding space for others doesn’t mean martyring yourself. You need support, co-regulation, and rooms where you get to be seen, stretched, and celebrated. This is just as essential as any marketing plan.

Why does this matter? Because business is a personal growth path, and healing doesn’t happen in isolation.

You teach your clients the power of community—so let yourself receive it too. Having a spa...
