Most people have a limited understanding of the positive results that can be achieved in a professionally controlled hypnosis session. I would like to dispel some of the myths and answer the most frequently asked questions about hypnosis.

How Does Hypnosis Work?
Our minds work on two levels - the conscious and the unconscious. The conscious mind makes decisions based upon information it receives from the unconscious. In the relaxed state known as hypnosis, we can communicate directly with the unconscious mind. This is why with your help, your weight loss program can begin immediately, easily and naturally.

Will Hypnosis Work For Me?
Virtually anyone can be hypnotized. You remain in control of your personalized session. Some people fear loss of control. That is why I make it clear in my sessions that my client is in control of their own progress. My job is to "Hold the mirror steady to reflect your desire and I inspire change".

How Will I Know If I Am Hypnotised?
Most people cannot tell the difference between the hypnotised and the waking states. Some people feel relaxed and others feel a lightness. One thing that people do notice is an inexplicable change in their daily behaviors.

Is Hypnosis Safe?
Hypnosis is possibly as old as mankind. Hypnosis is completely safe. You are aware and in control at every moment and can terminate the session at any time. Hypnosis is not sleep, nor do I believe that can you get "stuck" in a state of hypnosis. You cannot be made to do something against your will! Hypnosis is a safe, relaxing, and enjoyable experience.

Why Do I Need To Revise My Thinking?
I believe that you learned to follow in the footsteps of those before you. You may be living with non-serving beliefs and values.
A classic example would be listening to the media that often directs your attention to skinny, thin actors, actresses and models who become role models for society to which many people aspire. These role models often look anorexic, fragile and unhealthy. So why would you aspire to be more like them? You are being hypnotised to believe that this is a good way to look.  
The key is to realize that everyone experiences highs and lows whether you are overweight or underweight. The spirit within you is being adversely affected when you strive to be something you are not. The HABIT of Yo-Yo dieting perpetuates the imbalance.
 
Does Family History Play A Role In Obesity?
It does yet to what extent is unclear. Researchers continue to conduct clinical trials in an effort to unravel this question. You may have learned a significant amount about being unhealthy in your Mother's womb, if not before, and through life experiences, you've continued to model unhealthy behaviours or HABITS throughout your lifetime.
 
What Can I Do To Change A Behaviour or HABIT That No Longer Serves Me?
You can identify with the behaviour or HABIT. Then make an internal change at the unconscious level to support your outcomes, goals and aspirations.
 
Which Choices Are Best For Me Now?
Only you have the answer to this question. You will know when the time is right or good for you to alter your choices to support your overall wellbeing. A supportive practitioner, coach or trusted friend can help.
