Hold your Wild.
Claim your Calm.
This is birth education that holds you while you reclaim your power.
Come as you are. Leave knowing you were never broken.
Here, your identity isn’t just accepted—it’s centered.
Your intuition isn’t doubted—it’s honored.
And your story doesn’t have to be rewritten to fit a system.
You get to birth in your full truth—supported, free, and whole.
About Holding the Wild
At Holding the Wild, we believe that birth is not a medical event—it’s a rite of passage.
We offer HypnoBirthing® classes rooted in softness, sovereignty, and self-trust, especially for those who are often left out of mainstream birth spaces: queer families, trans and nonbinary birthers, BIPOC folks, fat folks, and anyone reclaiming their power in a system that wasn’t built with them in mind.
Our space is gentle, inclusive, and revolutionary in its simplicity.
We don’t just teach techniques—we hold you while you remember what your body already knows.
What Is HypnoBirthing®?
HypnoBirthing® is a 5-class childbirth education method that teaches you how to birth calmly, confidently, and in tune with your body.
We cover all the necessary birth education basics you need to make empowered choices, but we add the holistic approach of involving your heart, mind, and spirit.
Using breathing techniques, guided relaxation, visualization, affirmations, and evidence-based information, it prepares you and your birth team to welcome your baby with awareness and ease—whether you're planning a hospital, home, or birth center experience.
There are no swinging pendulums or stage tricks here. HypnoBirthing® works by shifting your relationship to fear and pain in labor, so instead of bracing against birth, you can soften into it.
Why it Matters... Especially for Us
For queer, trans, fat, neurodivergent, BIPOC, disabled, and other marginalized birthing people, navigating the medical system often means moving through spaces that weren’t built to see or honor you. It can mean being questioned when you set boundaries. Ignored when you say no. Spoken over when you advocate for yourself.
This can leave deep imprints on the nervous system, shaping how safe we feel in our own bodies, in the care of others, and in the very spaces meant to heal.
HypnoBirthing® helps you meet that reality with tools that reconnect you to your center. Through breath, mindset, relaxation, and knowledge, you learn how to soften into your instincts instead of hardening against fear. You learn how to advocate for yourself in labor—not just with your words, but with your presence, your clarity, and your self trust.
And you’re not doing it alone.
Partners or birth team members are an integral part of this work. You’ll learn how to prepare together—how to protect the space around the birthing person with gentleness and strength. How to support their choices. How to be a calm, grounding force during labor.
Birth is not a solo act. It’s a portal. And in this space, everyone who steps through it with you learns how to hold it with intention.
