My husband and I just completed the hypnobirthing class & absolutely loved it! Birth was a little unknown to us both, however we feel equipped, more confident and empowered after our course with Monica. The course was above and beyond, and answered questions we didn't even knew we had. The tools provided have been effective on a daily basis, and I know will go further than birth itself. Thank you Monica!

Highly recommend for expectant moms and dads. Monica’s hypnobirthing course is full of great material that will help you approach the birth of your baby in a positive and affirmative way. It takes the fear out of giving birth and gives you practical advice and strategies for every step of what’s to come. Beyond all of the learning, it’s an unexpectedly wonderful way to connect with your partner on a deeply emotional level.
To dads who might be sceptical: Don’t be. Go for it and let yourself be surprised.

The techniques and strategies taught by Monica through the hypnobirthing class were great. Due to a breech baby, I didn't experience labour but I found that the relaxation and calming strategies have been useful in other areas (during an attempted ECV, the preparation and during the c-section, and moments of fatigue and frustration after birth).
The class promotes listening to your body and being in tune with your natural instincts. The course made me feel knowledgeable and empowered and I would highly recommend the class to other expectant mothers.

My husband and I had been going through fertility treatments for 5+ years. We were recommended Monica by my Acupuncturist while going through our treatments to help me with my mental health. Monica's wealth of knowledge, empathy and patience made it a very comfortable experience for me. Monica and her use of hypnotherapy helped put me at ease while going through our last and final round of IVF and this led to a successful pregnancy with twins! Thank you Monica!

The hypnobirthing course with Ohana Counselling exceeded our expectations. Monica is extremely knowledgeable and creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. We had to switch to an online platform midway through due to COVID19 and Monica did a great job navigating that change for us.
We learned so much about natural birth and are finding the techniques useful in all areas of life as we practice and prepare for our baby to come in July.
Highly recommend this course!

The birth of our first child was the most empowering and joyful experience imaginable after taking the Hypnobirthing course !! Monica is an amazing instructor! The classes are inviting, open to lots of questions and feedback. We can't recommend her enough.
We took the course online because of COVID19 and despite this, what we learned truly gave us the knowledge and power to bring our baby into the world in the most beautiful way imaginable. I highly recommend the course, as Hypnobirthing does not only help mothers, my husband's role in the birth of our child was heightened because of Monica's

Had to settle for an online meet-up, what with covid restrictions and all that jazz, but still had a great experience. Monica has the perfect personality for her line of work, and the knowledge to back it up too. The course was informative and well paced, though over too soon. Would've only been improved by being face to face. All aspects of the hypnotherapy worked, and are great tools. Was nice to have someone with experience to talk with.

Highly recommend Ohana Hypnobirthing classes. We had a wonderful experience in this small group setting learning more about the process of a natural and positive birthing experience using the hypnobirthing technique and philosophy. Monica was a wonderful instructor and so informative and created a very warm and intimate setting for the six-week program.
