Hold Yourself Close
Guides, Rituals, & Reflections
calm is your rebellion.
Birth education that affirms queer and trans bodies.
Rooted in anti-racism, body liberation, and the rejection of diet culture.
Built on a foundation of autonomy, consent, and deep self-trust.
This is where resistance meets rest.
Testimonials
Kelsi was an amazing instructor! I cannot recommend her enough! She was always very clear, prepared, and confident with the material. She fostered a great space for my partner and I to continue to grow together in deciding what kind of birth we wanted and how my partner could best support me. She encouraged fear reducing exercises around child birth and helped me build confidence. Highly recommend Kelsi!

My wife and I had a great experience with Kelsi’s hypnobirthing training. Using the techniques she taught us, we were able to navigate a sudden preeclampsia diagnosis and induction as calmly as possible, and still achieve our goal of a medication-free vaginal delivery and healthy baby and mom. Thank you Kelsi.

Kelsi is truly gifted at this work. She was so flexible, accommodating, compassionate and communicative with both my partner and me throughout the process. I went from feeling overwhelmed and afraid of my second labor (after a traumatic first) to feeling confident, knowledgeable, empowered and ready to birth my baby without fear. This is the best prep I’ve done so far during pregnancy, and I’ll be telling everyone I know about Kelsi!
