There are still spots left in the weekend crash course running May 25 & June 1, from 10 am - 5 pm.

This course is highly referred and attended by people whether they are single, partnered, on their first or fourth pregnancy.

Hypnosis is a powerful, easy-to-use tool that helps us have the types of thoughts and beliefs that best serve us. In class we explore
- how to eliminate the fear-tension-pain syndrome to encourage an easier, safer, more comfortable birth
- what is true and not true about birth, and what to expect
- practical comfort measures and pain management strategies
- as well as educating you on the postpartum period, so you can care well for yourself and your baby

After 23 years of teaching I got my first negative review. At first I felt nervous and self-critical. It was interesting to me how one opinion could get so deep under my skin, how our minds can ruminate, particularly when other feedback I hear is in such stark contrast.

I thrive on hearing people's experiences. I like to know what is working and not working. It reminded me why I do what I do, and how I value holding space for a group, with varied life experiences, wishes, and beliefs.

Though I wish they had a more positive experience, I will not apologize for delivering a balanced program. The negative feedback has been a good learning experience for me. I am grateful for the opportunity to reflect and grow.

Due to high demand a new Hypnobirthing session has been added Nov 20 - Dec 18, 2024 (Wednesdays).

The style and approach of these classes are an empowering way to prepare for the birth of your child. Whether you're single or partnered, on your first pregnancy or fourth, you'll find value in this comprehensive education. It embraces the broad spectrum of ways birth can unfold, and honours the autonomy and diversity of the birther and the people who walk alongside them.

Suitable for babies expected mid-December onwards. Pre-registration is required. Click the link in the bio for more details.

It is with great excitement that I announce that I will be taking over teaching and pool rentals from Hypnobirthing Hamilton.

For many years I have supported families through many styles of mindfulness and hypnosis for birth. What stands out for me with this approach is how inclusive it is. Clients would be more engaged with their surroundings and their partner. It is useful for helping people stay in their power through all birthing options. And people it has helped them not only for birth but in their regular day to day lives.

When Lara mentioned she wanted to ease out of teaching, I was worried that this unique style would get lost. I began teaching it, and gained an even deeper appreciation for the content. I am so honoured to be able to continue sharing this with families. I had been renting out TENS units, now adding birth pools, means people have more choice bringing comfort to their births.

There are two spots left in the August prenatal series. Class runs for five weeks, every Tuesday from August 20 - September 17.

Here's what one family had to say about the class.
"My husband and I took Michelle's 5 week birthing course prior to the arrival of our first child and we highly recommend it. The atmosphere was comfortable and casual, the materials covered were relevant, up to date and included lots of anecdotal evidence/stories from Michelle's vast experience. We felt very prepared for the arrival of our son and enjoyed coming each week to class. We also met lots of great friends in class that we stay in touch with! Michelle has a calm and confident presence and will give you the confidence and information you need." - Vanessa

Got away for a two night solo camping trip in Algonquin at Kearney Lake. It was absolutely magical. I had a great site, my set up was pretty posh but was perfection. The lake was beautiful, an easy paddle and swim. I had the lake to myself every time I went out. At the far end of the lake was a babbling brook that fed the lake, it sounded incredible and from there you couldn't see the campground, just lake as far as the eye can see. It was fascinating how easily my mind is able to shut down and just be present in nature. As soon as I got home the monkey mind instantly kicked back in. The bugs were super minimal.

Had to pack up wet gear, so my backyard became a drying rack. Managed to get it packed up and away moments before the skies open in Burlington for a heavy rain. Thanks to my husband for the reminder that my gear was outside. Haché horseshoe for the win once again.

Kearney Lake has my heart.

A home water birth today. Saw this lady out on my pool. Later noticed she laid an egg in the pool. Guess that baby was coming too fast.
