Hypno-Band©
Over four sessions we take you through the process of having a gastric band fitted, only in your mind. By using suggestion and visualisation your mind will be convinced that your stomach has become smaller and that you need less food. By eating less and less often you will begin to lose weight. The process uses hypnotherapy and cognitive behavioural techniques to help you achieve your ideal weight - and stay there!
Each session in the HYNPO-BAND system lasts for one hour and before beginning the process a full assessment will be carried out.
Does it involve surgery? No! the HYPNO-BAND system is a non-invasive behaviour changing method using the techniques of hypnotherapy and cognitive behavioural therapy.
Does it hurt? On the contrary. The HYPNO-BAND procedure is extremely relaxing and pleasurable.
So it's safe? Yes! the HYPNO-BAND system is perfectly safe.
Will I be under the hypnotherapists control? Never. No hypnotherapist can make you do anything you do not want to do nor make you behave in a way you would not normally behave.
Am I suitable for the HYPNO-BAND weight loss system? If you are over-weight and really want and are committed to losing weight then you should be suitable. The only exception would be if there is a physiological reason for your weight problems or if you are taking certain medications.
Will it work for me? The key to success is YOU! No weight loss system will work unless you are committed to losing weight. You must be prepared to change your eating habits and life style. If you are totally serious about losing weight then it will certainly work for you. The HYPNO-BAND system provides you with the tools and ability to lose weight and maintain a healthier body.
The hypno-band system can only be fitted if your BMI is over 29. So I would need to know your weight and height to work your BMI out. I personally like clients to come to see me for their first consultation (which costs £15 and will take up to 2 hours) to discuss weight issues/ habits etc. and this gives me an indication of where the problems may be, what triggers you to eat and for you to start to think about the food you eat and what you would like to remove/add from your diet etc. A client recently said to me ‘why do I have sugar and milk in my coffee at home but have it without at work? I obviously don’t need it’ – she was just observing her everyday behaviour patterns to see where she make any changes. I want to make this chat very relaxed so that we can have an open, honest and confidential dialogue. I also describe each step of the programme so you know exactly how it works. If you are satisfied and want to go ahead from there, I then book you an appointment for your 1st therapy session.
The hypno-band weight loss system (hypnotic gastric band) is £325 (a real gastric band costs £7000 minimum) and is a four session course but with on-going support by e-mail/text or call for a further 4 weeks. Hypnosis occurs 3 times in these 4 sessions.
Stage 1: After the initial assessment when we first met, I re-programme your mind to adapt to a more healthier eating plan. All the suggestions I re-programme into your subconscious mind are things that you yourself choose to have installed. It is very important to listen to hypnotic CD 1 seven times after this session to enable your subconscious mind to get use to my voice and for you to enjoy the lovely relaxed feeling you will have with hypnosis.
Stage 2: If all OK after you listen to the provided cd seven times (this can be once or twice a day - therefore 4-7 days after initial session) and the things I programmed into your mind have started to work, then I will fit the hypnotic gastric band. This technique is a simulated operation and has all operating theatre sounds, gown, equipment etc. to ensure your subconscious mind thinks it is having a real operation.
After this session you then listen to a cd daily for 30 consecutive days or until you reach your target weight. This reinforces the suggestions I re-programmed into your subconscious mind on your first and second sessions.. I must reinforce this information- this technique is a simulated operation and has all operating theatre sounds, gown, equipment etc. to ensure your subconscious mind thinks it is having a real operation.
Stage 3: This is usually a chat a week after the band is fitted to ensure all is well and that you have no problems with hunger, cravings or anything that I programmed into you on session 1.If there is a problem at this point I would hypnotise you again, tighten the band and re-programme you for further suggestions to enable the band to work far more effectively. I would say at this point it is a very, very rare occasion there is a problem!
Stage 4: This session is usually taken at a future time when there is a need to tighten the band – week 6 after the operation or if all is well at this point post holiday etc. However, if you have already had the band tightened in session 3 there would be no need to tighten it again at this point.
Having the hypnotic gastric band fitted is a very personal service and it is important to me that you achieve your goal. My aim is to programme your mind for healthy eating of much smaller portion sizes, remove any cravings you may have and not have the feeling of being hungry. I programme you so food does not dominate your life- you eat to live not live to eat. I also install confidence, raise your self-esteem & self-discipline and for you to feel content and have inner peace.
