Online HypnoBirthing

Prepare yourself for an empowered labour and delivery

Join us live online every Tuesday for 5 weeks for the Kaer HypnoBirthing course. This evidence-based comprehensive program that gives you the tools for a positive and supportive experience, whatever birth plan you have, and whatever turns your birth may take.

 

Despite the name, there are no swinging pendulums – just calming breathing exercises, relaxation, visualization and grounding meditation techniques to bring into your birth. 

 

Led live online via Zoom, you will learn labour and delivery education, comfort measures for empowered birthing such as relaxation, breathing, massage, acupressure, self-hypnosis, and tools for a positive and relaxed birthing mindset. 

 

All of which give you the confidence to allow your body and mind to ease so you can birth your baby gently and without fear. The vast majority of parents feel so prepared and empowered by HypnoBirthing that they have fully unmedicated births. 

 

Fee: $375 for two people

Your Instructor

Certified HypnoBirthing Instructor

Allison Thompson

Allison Thompson is a certified HypnoBirthing practitioner, hypnotist and parent. 

​In addition to being a certified HypnoBirthing® instructor, Allison is also an EVIDENCE BASED BIRTH® instructor and brings the most up-to-date research into all of her classes.
​
​She has three children who have taught her the importance of patience, presence and kindness. Having been a young single mother and an older married mother, she brings a wide array of experiences to her classes. 

She believes that giving birth can be a joyful experience and has a passion for empowering families to experience birth with love and peacefulness. She is committed to personal growth and practices Qi Gong and meditation to expand her compassion for herself and others.  A researcher and analyst at heart, she never tires of learning about birth and is continually reading about evidence based practices while being firmly rooted in the philosophy that birth is a normal, human experience rather than a medical event. 

She believes that the best possible births occur when medical expertise is brought together with a deep respect for our bodies and our innate birthing wisdom. Birth is an aspect of our sexuality and as such, should be treated with love, respect, compassion and consent.

Real People, Real Reviews

After speaking on the phone to interview three different HypnoBirthing instructors, my husband and I chose Allison as our HypnoBirthing instructor, specifically because she brought a sense of confidence and peace to me when I was asking her questions over the phone. We are so happy with our experience with Allison. We truly enjoyed attending her classes each week. Allison is one of the most caring and genuine teachers I've met in a long time (and I am an educator myself).
She teaches Marie Mongan's Hypnobirthing from a place of authentic presence, love and joy. In her class, we learned that childbirth is not something to be feared, but rather embraced. She was always attentive to our concerns, and resourceful as well, offering recommendations to an acupuncture studio and a placenta encapsulator. Allison led us so confidently through visualization and relaxation exercises, which gave me the courage to trust in my body and my baby, as well as the natural unfolding of the Universe's plan for us. I truly believe that it was Allison and her HypnoBirthing classes, along with my positive visualizations that made me have the most natural, unmedicated at home birth without medical intervention.
I would highly recommend Allison as your Hypnobirthing educator, to help manifest the divine birth experience you have always dreamed of.
