Ohana Counseling & Hypnobirthing, Calgary, AB Videos

I’m looking forward to the start of my upcoming April HypnoBirthin group! If you’re expecting, or know someone who’s expecting, who may be excited about the birth, or maybe even afraid or anxious, this is the perfect group for them! With my three births, I felt different with each one. My first birth I was excited, but had no tools, that was my learning birth. My second was empowering, with HypnoBirthing, my first experience of what birth could really be like (and it was great)! My third, it still leaves a smile on my face, as I brought tools and an intentional experience to my birth. I bring all of this to the course: the HypnoBirthing techniques, my experience, my passion, and my training as a hypnotherapist and counselor. I love what I do and look forward to working with a new group of moms and couples next week! Registration is open for one more week and groups are kept small, so don’t miss out, register today (and your insurance can likely pay for it)! #lovingbirthpreparation #hypnobirthing #hypnobabies #calgaryhypnobirthing #calgarychildbirthpreparation #expectingababy #expectingincalgary #momtobe #momtobeincanada #birthwithoutfear #birthwithconfidence #empoweringbirth #hypnosisforbirth #childbirtheducator #childbirthclasses

This New Year’s I felt like I should post right on New Year’s Eve or Day with something insightful or well meaning, but since I’m also cultivating presence, while honouring my own needs (vs doing something because I feel I should), I instead focused on what was going on in my house, as busy as it is. The reality is we can feel the pressure to do, to be better and to do it all now, when in fact we have the whole year to create posts and make changes. Often it starts with a intention, a plan and action, sometime it’s one day at a time, other times it’s one breath at a time. What do you find useful when it comes to being more present and keeping your mental health as a priority? Wishing you presence, mindfulness and peace this New Year! #newyear #newyearintentions #mindfulness #mindful #presence #calgarymentalhealth #calgarycounselling #calgarycounsellor

Self-hypnosis, what is it exactly, how do you do it and how can it help you? These are all topics I can cover in a a virtual session for those interested in learning how self-hypnosis can help them. This session would not be in lieu of therapy or a in-depth clinical hypnosis session, but more of an introduction to self-hypnosis and how you can start practising on your own. I’m at stage 1 of planning, garnering interest right now if you are interested, message below, email ([email protected]) , ask friends/colleagues and if there’s enough interest, I can look at setting up dates. I also always offer free consultations for those who are interested in utilizing the benefits of hypnosis. #selfhypnosis #learnhypnosis #hypnosisworks #anxietyrelief #anxietysupport #stressrelief #copingduringcovid #calgarycounselling #calgarycovid19 #calgarysupportlocal #calgaryalberta

This is a picture I took of my youngest about a year ago; she’s free, fierce and fun. In that moment she just WAS. Imagine how our relationship with others and ourselves will be shifted when we strive to change and improve ourselves with compassion and acceptance vs shame and guilt. To fully accept ourselves as we are, while also creating a compassionate space for growth, that’s a beautiful place to be. Sending compassion and warmth to you wherever you are and in whatever place you’re in. #selfcompassion #selfacceptance #lifejourney #counselling #calgaryalberta #mindfulmoments #calgarytherapy #carlrogers #fierceandfree #personalgrowth #personalgrowthjourney #personaldevelopment #calgarymom

Finding the light in the darkness, this can be both literal and figurative. Lately Creating that light internally is especially important and needed nowadays. We have a tremendous amount of stress that we are often dealing with, particularly with Covid. Engaging in self regulating behaviours, thoughts and practices are going to really help you when you’re feeling unsettled and the darkness is closing in. If you’re needing help feeling more grounded, feeling more settled, feeling that you’re able to create and maintain that lightness, you’re in the right place! If you have questions, I gladly welcome them and offer free consultations because I know the importance of finding the right fit and connection with your therapist. Research shows this is one of the biggest things that makes a difference in helping you reach your therapeutic goals. Consultations can be booked by emailing [email protected] Mahalo & Aloha! #lightinthedarkness #copingskills #copingduringcovid #covid_19 #covidcoping #selfregulation #selfregulationskills #therapy #calgarycounselling #calgarytherapy #calgaryalberta #calgarysmallbusiness #anxietyrelief #stressrelief #stressreliever #hypnotherapy #hypnosis #hypnosisworks
