Kelsey created Our Hearts Grow LLC after her own heart was forever changed by her journey to motherhood. Her journey involved infertility, IVF, loss, a high risk pregnancy, and giving birth to an amazing child who happens to have a congenital heart condition.

“During my journey to motherhood, I faced enormous challenges that centered my mind, my body, and my child. I desire to help others encountering similar challenges by writing informative and emotionally sensitive health content and resources. I founded Our Hearts Grow LLC to do just that.” - Kelsey

Her personal journey and professional interests have led her to create Our Hearts Grow LLC. Her writing honors the emotional complexity of challenging health experiences while being evidence-based, educational, sincere, and hopeful.
