HypnoBirthing Course Set Up At Yoga Mamas
These HypnoBirthing classes at Toronto Yoga Mamas will prepare you for birth, and help you make educated and confident decisions should you want, or require, an intervention. The vast majority of mamas feel so prepared and empowered by HypnoBirthing® that they have fully un-medicated births. HypnoBirthing® provides you with the knowledge you need to feel confident, and the techniques to remain calm and in control during your birth, just as nature intended. Birth with love and joy!
​
The 5 week Hypnobirthing course is set in our beautiful sunlit studio where you will get to know other couples delivering around the same time as you. Complimentary organic DAVIDs Tea is provided. 

Why Attend HypnoBirthing Classes at Yoga Mamas

​Over 5 weeks you and your partner will learn:
  • The process of labour and childbirth
  • When to go to the hospital
  • The difference in body response to stress and the importance of relaxation
  • How to communicate effectively during pregnancy, labor and birth
  • How to stay safe, alert and comfortable during labor

About HypnoBirthing At Toronto Yoga Mamas

Picture
Allison Thompson is a certified HypnoBirthing practitioner, hypnotist and mama. 

​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.

HypnoBirthing Testimonials

"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. "
