Weight Loss Is One of Our Specialties!

Watch this short video to learn why our clients come to us for weight loss.

Over the years we have hypnotized over a thousand clients for weight loss and have found that the reason most people fail is  that their approach is just too simplistic. Dieting ends in failure for most people because in the beginning your conscious uses willpower to avoid certain foods, but eventually your subconscious mind’s old habits (which almost always is stronger than your willpower) overcomes your desires and you find once again eating those old, fattening foods. And the weight comes back on.
There are many reasons for gaining weight. The most important are:

  • Mood and emotions (suppressing feelings with food, instant gratification/reward)
  • Self sabotage (a part of you sabotages your efforts because of what you feel like you deserve)
  • Habits (conditioned to eat in front of the TV, snacking when bored)
  • Quality of your diet (eating what you already know are the wrong foods)
  • Sensitivity to different foods (food allergies or food inconsistent with blood type)
  • Exercise level (lack of movement due to a lack of motivation)

Weight loss success must take into consideration these important factors. Diet and exercise programs alone are unable to do this, because the roots of your issue lie in the subconscious mind. Using hypnotherapy we release the old programming and teach you how to respond to feelings in a healthy, satisfying way – eliminating the old pattern of eating to avoid the feelings of boredom, stress, loneliness, anxiety, sadness, etc.

Another difficulty with diet and exercise programs is that they are restrictive, creating an inner conflict with other parts of you that use food to feel better. A better solution is to take back control of your life and allow your inner intelligence to come forward and balance what you love to eat with what you need to eat for health.

Ongoing support

A vital part of any successful weight loss program is follow-up and support. During your program (which typically last 5-10 sessions), you develop new behaviors and habits for healthy eating. We also help you to overcome self-sabotage and past failures. Many find it valuable to continue this support after the main program is over. To this end, we have developed a network of ongoing support that each month includes:

  1. Access to fitness and nutritional tips on a members only website
  2. Online forum to answer your questions and meet others working on your same issues
  3. Hypnosis CD downloads on important topics
  4. Videos featuring nutritional and fitness experts and others that support your success
  5. A video from me sharing more of the secrets of self-hypnosis and changing your life forever.

This valuable monthly support is an optional program that is available at minimal cost for you. During your first session we will review the details of this important process.

How Another Client Lost Weight and Kept It Off

“ I have lost 42 pounds since I started to see you in June, consistently at 1-2 pounds loss per week. I do not have a single article of clothing in my closet that I cannot fit into and I have needed to start sending some of my wardrobe into the tailor to be taken in. Some of my clothing literally began falling off of me! People who haven't seen me in a while do a double take and say that I have "shrunk". I am at a lower weight than I was when I graduated from high school. My thighs look strange to me because there is now space in between them and they no longer rub together when I walk. I also stopped using most of my prescription meds, which I believe contributed substantially to my initial weight gain. As you know, I am quite shy and I am not an attention seeker. When I get stopped in the hallways at work by my colleagues asking, "Wow, how did you loose all the weight?" I tell them about the work I did with you and the power that hypnotherapy has given me over my life and my food choices. Losing the weight and keeping it off was not difficult, it was just a matter of getting my head and my energies in the right place in order to do so. That is what you and I accomplished together. I lost weight during the recent holiday season, even with all the travel, guests, and eating out in restaurants that we did. I am consistently able to make healthy food choices and never experience the cravings or emotional eating of the past. I no longer use food as a means to medicate myself or in response to stress. Those behaviors are simply gone and are no longer a part of my life. Attached is a picture of me (in red on the left) at the Boulders Restaurant in Arizona with my daughter Nicole and her boyfriend, Colin on January 1, 2009. I hope that you enjoy looking at the new, petite self you helped me to regain. I now live my life more joyously without the guilt, shame, and anxiety that was caused by being overweight. I feel wonderful that the burden of having been released from the burden of having a weight problem. Of course, I still have stress and tension in my life, between my work, family, and doctoral program obligations. I simply do not respond to that stress by eating for comfort any longer. Please feel free to share this information with others, as do I.”

Thanks,

Leslie

15 Year Old Makes Breakthrough

It's only been about a year with Loretta, and she has completely changed my life for the better. Before meeting Loretta, I was a depressed, obsessive compulsive, angry person, who had had extremely high anxiety. But after only eight sessions of her hypnotherapy, I have been a happy, relaxed person who has his OCD completely under control. I even had the best football season ever! Loretta has been amazing for me and everyone close to me. My family and my trusted friends view Loretta as an angel, and I do as well. We think this because one lady, without any medication's help, cured me of my issues; something that 3 other therapists were unable to do. And she did this all in under a year. So for you reading this, I hope you give Loretta a chance to help you. She is a great therapist. I promise you if you follow through with some sessions, you will be extremely happy with the results.

Isn't life grand! Hope all is well with you!

Use Hypnosis to Reduce Stress and Release Anxiety

I had five sessions with hypnosis and am amazed what a residual effect my sessions have had. We worked on several areas of concern. The most marked results are my stress level. I now easily bring my stress level "back to normal". I've done lots of different self-help techniques and I can truly say that his approach affords me the most long-lasting and residual effect of anything else I've tried. Managing my stress level is going to be very instrumental in improving my "other areas of concern!" I thank you so much for such a beneficial gift.

Is it Possible to Channel Your Frustration into Passion?

I went to Greenwood Hypnosis in hopes of gaining control of my emotions – especially my temper. My tendencies toward anger, irritability and impatience were not only negatively affecting my health, but they were putting up barriers in my relationships with my wife and three teenage children. A life-time of embracing and perfecting these destructive traits had ingrained them into my personality. However, I knew that my family deserved better and that I needed to make a change, but didn’t know how.

I began to understand that the mind-set and attitudes that triggered my temper were similar to those that caused others to over-eat or light up a cigarette. As I see it, our bad habits are just the symptoms of a deeper problem. As I worked on those deeper issues, my bad habits began to lose their muscle….

Imagine How Your Life Will Improve When You Feel More Confident

I had some major issues with the Doctor's at my work. One of them said some things that were very inappropriate and unprofessional. I stuck to my guns and pointed out to both the doctor's that the issue was their problem, not mine. They both ended up apologizing. I have handled it all amazingly well. I guess the point in telling you these things is that my life has never been so calm in my life. I never thought that life could be so easy! It's very hard to explain to people, but my life has been forever changed. Your re-wiring of my hard drive has changed me in the best of ways... There is never a moment when I do not realize how far I have come and the fact the "I deserve to be here". Thank-you once again! Hypnotherapy is the best thing that has ever happened in my life and I am always willing to share that with anyone who will listen. The world could use some mass hypnosis sessions!

Again, thank-you for all of your assistance...

How Quickly Can Children Benefit From Hypnosis?

When we came to see you a year ago we were at the end of the line. My daughter had horrible grades, a bad attitude and no self control. Her report card featured many C’s and a few D’s. After her first few visits there was a noticeable change in her behavior and attitude to the point her teacher even noticed and commented on what a positive change she had seen in my nine year old daughter. The positive changes keep getting better and better. Her last report card featured mostly A’s and B’s and her bad attitude is gone at school. We can’t thank you enough for all your understanding, compassion and care for what you do. Thanks so much.

Want To Be A Better Public Speaker?

I wanted to write you and thank you for being the catalyst to helping me achieve my goal of becoming a better public speaker. I got up in front of 120 people yesterday and nailed a speech without missing a beat. Sure, I was somewhat nervous, yet was able to pull it off without a bunch of internal drama. All my anxiety was directed outward instead of internalizing it. Thanks so much. I’m looking forward to our next session.

Getting out of a rut

You were extremely helpful in dealing with my personal problems. I was in a "rut" and through his help I was able to find a way out and I feel great. I learnt techniques that I will use for the rest of my life. He helped me deal with stress and to figure out what I really need and want in life.

Moving out of depression

My sessions with Greenwood Hypnosis are turning out to be priceless! When I first met with you I was in one of the deepest depressions of my life. I sought out hypnotherapy because I have always believed that what we think is what our life manifests and I just didn’t want to manifest the negative stuff I had going on in my head at the time. I learned quickly that hypnotherapy is nothing like it is portrayed in the media! I tell all my friends its more like having someone help you create a deep meditation that is SPECIFIC to my life. I not only feel better about myself again, but life is bringing me many blessings that reflect this renewed esteem! This really is a life long dreamed fulfilled! Thank you so much!!!!!!! I really appreciate your professionalism. In this world of hypnotherapists, psychics and therapists on every corner it is so valuable to come across someone with training AND professionalism. Thank you so much! I’m sure I will be working with you again. Respectfully,

Diane Harmon, El Dorado Hills

Weight loss and exercise

Just to let you know I have been going to the gym faithfully. I have increased my workout from 30 minutes to almost THREE hours NOW! I seem to have stopped losing weight because I’m now building muscle. But I have changed sizes! Last month I went from a size 16 to a 14 and have even gotten into a size 12! The sizes I have gone through are phenomenal.

I have given your name to everyone! Including my doctor. Truthfully, I am slimmer now than I was in 1993!
Thanks again,

M. B., Roseville

Stress relief

I want to express my sincerest thanks for the amazing service you provided. When I came to you, I was exhausted. Exhausted from my endless stream of worries and what-ifs, and endless lists of things to prepare and worry over, stressed about work, upcoming flights, public speaking, etc.
I wish more people knew what a difference hypnosis can make to quickly change our thought process. Thanks to your service, I have greatly reduced the negative thoughts that sabotaged me everyday. I was calm during flying, calm during public speaking and have no doubt that what I learned from you will last a lifetime.
I encourage anyone who is trying to help themselves deal with stress and anxiety to contact you and pursue hypnotherapy as a valid and effective treatment. I know it works - I just wish I had known 10 years ago. Thank you again for your amazing service.

Asperger and hypnosis

I want to thank you for the support you are giving to John for his Asperger’s issues. As you can see from his progress, he is responding very well to your approach. He is making important strides as he intellectually absorbs and accepts the concepts you have been teaching him. This is something very new for him. It's an approach that works better than any of the other therapies I've seen over the years and dozens of approaches we've tried.
Surprisingly, I have found almost NO REFERENCE to meditation or hypnosis in any inventory of Asperger's treatment alternatives, for children or adults. Even books that are designed to specifically set out and explain different strategies for treatment completely fail to mention meditation or hypnosis. Yet, based on the experience we're having with John, this may well be the MOST effective treatment. It's as if the accepted approach is "outside in"....we're going to teach you how to pretend to be normal (in fact, there are numerous common references to "pretending to be normal') ...instead of "inside out"....let's understand who you are and how you want to function in the world, and then teach you how to do that effectively.
Your clinical experience and expertise with the mind and hypnosis could create an outstanding (and well received) resource that is just not available out there today.
