I had such a great time with my last group and look forward to starting with a new group March 7th! Register at mwong@ohanatherapy.com if you’re wanting to feel empowered and equipped with tools for birth,and life! : )

What’s one of the best compliments? Reviews from clients! “I can’t speak highly enough about Monica’s hypno-birthing class. We really enjoyed the classes where we learned a lot about birth and hypnosis.
The books and scripts were the most helpful. My husband read me the different scripts each night before bed from about my second trimester onwards.
During the birth, he was able to read them to me while I was in labour and it made such a big difference. I was able to go back to that calm and comfortable space that we had previously practiced. Highly recommend! Thanks, Andrea” Registrations are currently being accepted for my upcoming March group.

HypnoBirthing isn’t just for birth; it’s a group where we build community, safety and yes, techniques. We learn about birth and how to be informed, our partner’s gain support and tools so they too are involved, both learn how to navigate the birth they have. Self-hypnosis techniques help produce calm, comfort and support and can be used in and out of birth. This upcoming virtual group starts November 16th and is the last group in 2025. Registrations can be sent to mwong@ohanatherapy.com Mahalo!

I’m still in summer mode (hence the pause in posts), and not ready for fall yet, but wanted to give couples a heads up I already started accepting registrations for the September HypnoBirthing group. There are limited spots available as I like to keep my groups small. Registrations can be sent to mwong@ohanatherapy.com. Mahalo!

‘Slow down little heart’… sometimes we want to slow down time with our babies, sometimes we want to speed up the difficult times, sometimes we think of labour and want it to be done quickly, but what if you could shift your mindset and learn tools, tips to work through the birth, would you be interested? You can learn techniques for a calmer, more comfortable birth, to learn how to slow down the beautiful moments and to work through the challenging ones, with confidence and tools. HypnoBirthing is not about birthing a certain way or a certain place, but about being empowered, informed and equipped, bringing in compassion, support and tools.

I will be offering one last HypnoBirthing group, starting June 11th, before I take a break for the summer. Please see my website for details of the upcoming group, as I will be offering a unique class schedule that allows for weeknight and weekend classes, with a break in between, to further practice the techniques and consolidate the information learned. Mahalo for reading and I hope you have a wonderful rest of your week!

Happy Aloha Friday!
I’m happy to share I have a couple spots in my upcoming HypnoBirthing group. This awesome six session group is going to help moms and couples to be informed and educated about birth, as well as teach them skills and techniques (for calm, comfort, relaxation and the ability to handle the unknown/unplanned), not only for birth, but pregnancy and post-partum well. Most moms/couples have insurance plans that will cover most if not all of the course. Mahalo for reading and sharing and I hope you have a wonderful upcoming weekend!

Happy Spring! I so look forward to this season, well when the snow isn’t coming down and the flowers come through! We women go through many seasons in our life and I’m blessed to be able to support women and their partner’s as they prepare for birth with tools, knowledge and skills to be informed and flow with the birth they have.
I had the privilege to work with another wonderful group of couples as they soon begin the next season of their lives! I also have a new HypnoBirthing group starting up April 29th! My services, from counselling and clinical hypnosis, to HypnoBirthing and HypnoMothering are eligible for insurance reimbursement.
Mahalo for reading, for being here and for showing up! Birthing and motherhood can be a wonderful, wild, tiring and heart growing experience; it’s nice to know we can find/create a village as we work through it. : )

I’m counting my blessings to have the opportunity to work with such wonderful couples! With everything going on in the world, it’s reassuring and heartwarming to see couples take time out of their very busy schedules to meet once a week, for about six weeks, to bond with baby before their born, to be with each other, and to do what they can to help the baby’s birthing experience be as positive and supported as possible, while learning how to empower themselves for whatever birth they have. I love what I do and am looking forward to starting with a new group of couples next week! Limited spots available; registrations can be sent to mwong@ohanatherapy.com.

Nervous, excited, scared about your upcoming birth? Birth can bring up A lot of emotions; my HypnoBirthing groups gives space for it all. It’s not about expectations of what should be but of learning how to navigate the birth you have. Moms walk away empowered because they’ve learned different tools and techniques, have practiced, have support and know how to be informed, advocate and flow with their birth as it unfolds. Birth partners are also taught techniques for themselves and their partners; they learn how to support and advocate for the birthing moms! Space is limited, register today at mwong@ohanatherapy.com

Where Positive Change Happen

My name is Monica Wong; I hail from my childhood home in Oahu, Hawaii. I graduated in 2009 with my Masters in Clinical Social Work, offering counseling and facilitating and running groups at a not-for-profit, which allowed me to help people as young as 4 and as old as 84. I loved the opportunity to help others and started my own private practice 7 years ago offering counselling, hypnotherapy and childbirth education.

I offer guidance, warmth, support, directness and techniques for my clients; techniques you can use to create long lasting deep change that will impact your life today and everyday, as long as you desire. The deep long lasting change I attribute in a large part to hypnotherapy. Out of all the years and techniques I’ve learned, hypnosis has created the change my clients seek, faster and at a deeper level. In my practice I offer counselling and hypnothearpy for mental health, fertility and post-partum, as well as childbirth education and post-partum workshops (HypnoBirthing and HypnoMothering).

I became a HypnoBirthing childbirth education after a very challenging first birth. I knew birth could be positive and different from what I experienced, so I decided to learn how to create a positive birth and became a childbirth HypnoBirthing educator in 2011. My second birth was life changing and although it was over 20 hours, I was pumped and felt great about my birth. My third birth was even more amazing and my love and passion for sharing HypnoBirthing has only grown, not only because of my own experiences but because of the experiences my couples have.

After such positive birth experiences with hypnosis, I decided to dedicate myself to learning as much as I could about the clinical application of hypnosis. I have since taken over 200+ hours of clinical hypnosis training, helped countless clients and couples and have become a board member for the Canadian Federation of Clinical Hypnosis, helping run conferences, workshops, as well as teaching.
