Pillars of Practice

More than just a massage. Held and Wiser is a container to feel more connected to your self, your journey and your community.

At Held and Wiser I value and tailor your individual journey in supporting the body to heal based on science and practice based evidence and the body’s innate wisdom. The body is intrinsically linked to our whole self.

My approach is a blend of therapeutic and clinical massage techniques, and bringing the best care to the women of Hobart. I have 5 years experience and the honour of supporting women as a Postpartum Doula, and a deep interest in how people can be best supported based on my training in BA Sociology major and minoring in Psychology.

“Well of Being” is a concept I’ve being exploring and developing where our individual healing is intrinsically tied to community, nature, and rituals. We dip into the elements around us and within. This is not new. But a remembrance. The foundations of the practice at Held and Wiser which are part of our 1:1 sessions, or group events.

Healing, and simply being together.

  • Her namesake of ‘Held and Wiser’ is extremely apt - my body and my mind are incredibly grateful for Shaadeh’s magic. It is always more than a massage, with each visit being guided by more than a ‘sore neck’ and ‘stiff back’. I remember the intention for my first visit with Shaadeh early this year was to simply buy in on some ‘self care’. What unfolded during that first visit had me walking away feeling so deeply nourished and seen. She cocoons you with her gentle spirit and innate wisdom of connecting body, mind and soul. I now return monthly and each time walk away feeling richer for the experience.

  • I have had several massages with Shaadeh and each one has been fantastic. She is incredibly intuitive and has a calm and welcoming presence which creates a very peaceful atmosphere. Each time, I always leave feeling completely relaxed and restored. I cannot recommend Shaadeh enough!

  • I loved Shaadeh's attention, to my comfort, and making sure I felt nutured and safe. Shaadeh's massage approach is gentle, calm and intuitive, allowing me to fully relax and tune into my body and be present in the experience. I was surprised the following day by some emotional releasing happening and feel this emerged because of the massage and Shaadeh's way of holding space & groundedness throughout the experience.

  • The best morning. Thanks again Shaadeh for taking such good care of me. From the moment you walked through the door to the end of the treatment, I felt so relaxed, nourished and well supported 🙂

  • I had the most relaxing massage with Shaadeh at 37 weeks pregnant. I was having a tough week physically and mentally and it seemed like Shaadeh knew exactly what I needed. Her lymphatic drainage techniques helped my poor feet finally fit in my shoes and I absolutely loved the side lying massage, including back, shoulders and neck. I can’t remember the last time I felt that relaxed after a massage. Thank you Shaadeh! 🩵🩵

  • I felt incredibly relaxed and well cared for by Shaadeh. She immediately made me feel comfortable and safe, and the space she holds is calm, nurturing, and deeply peaceful. It was a wonderful pregnancy massage and such a meaningful act of self-care. I would absolutely return. I highly recommend her services especially for mothers, and mothers to be!

  • Would highly recommend an Integrative Lymphatic Drainage massage with Shaadeh if you are pregnant, I felt instant relief! Swelling and discomfort in my legs has been particularly bad in the last months of my pregnancy and it was wonderful to feel more comfortable in my body in the days afterwards, and I really appreciated Shaadeh's warmth, support and knowledge during this vulnerable time.
