A comprehensive and
personalized weight mastery program that is customized to address your
specific weight challenges
- Are you frustrated and bored with dieting?
- Do you lose weight only to gain it back again?
- Is your diet frequently undermined by friendly saboteurs?
Growing national attention regarding American obesity has inspired me
to compile a comprehensive weight mastery program. Fully two-thirds of
American adults are over-weight and about half of those are on their way
to full-blown obesity. Even our pets are pudgy with 25% of dogs and cats
overweight. Excess poundage significantly increases the risk of heart
disease, high blood pressure, stroke, diabetes, infertility, gall-bladder
disease, osteoarthritis and many forms of cancer. The total medical tab
for illnesses related to obesity is $117 billion a year and climbing.
In a 2004 Time/ABC News poll a total 58% of Americans would like to lose
weight. (Time, June 28, 2004)
Weight is a complex issue that frequently requires more than willpower
alone. It requires a shift in attitude. A person’s attitude can
reinforce their efforts for weight mastery or sabotage them. I have been
trained by *three accredited Hypnotherapy schools in weight loss and have
synthesized the best material into a thorough and comprehensive Attaining
Weight Mastery program for my clients.
Attaining Weight Mastery with Hypnotherapy
As a hypnotherapist I help my clients develop new attitude towards themselves
and their relationship to food. Then I give them the tools to reinforce
and sustain their new eating patterns and life-style changes. I have been
trained in advanced hypnotherapy techniques that examine and help clear
the underlying causes for overeating. This removes the psychological and
emotional barriers to the most persistent weight challenges making weight
mastery easier to achieve.
Attaining Weight Mastery Program
This program is comprehensive and thorough. Behavioral changes discussed
in each session are reinforced with hypnotic inductions. Together, step
by step, we rebuild your relationship to yourself and food. All
clients are trained on how to use power affirmations and self-hypnosis
which are potent tools for achieving success in all areas of life.
| 1st Session |
Intake interview and assessment to
gain clarity on the issues surrounding weight challenges. Education
is provided on the psychology of weight and how the mind works which
includes:
- The limitations of reason and logic when we want to change a
habit, or a behavior
- How to engage the subconscious and the importance of using imagery
and emotions, the language of the subconscious, when overcoming
negative behaviors
Additional assessment forms are given to the client to complete
on their own before the next session.

Clearing the underlying causes for weight challenges
and overeating. These underlying causes are frequently lodged deep
in our subconscious. Some may have been with us since our childhood.
Isn’t it time to release them for good? Together we will investigate
these issues as we work to clear them from your subconscious forever.
- Using food as a reward or consolation, or as a need for love
and comfort
- Stuffing or numbing feelings with food
- Using fat as armor or protection
