Have your or someone you know made a resolution to loss weight and be healthier this year?  This is a FABULOUS OPPORTUNITY.

New Weight Loss Program – Best of Both Worlds

I am teaming with local Naturopathic Doctor, Dr. Bryn Bentham, to offer an opportunity to take part in a free trial for a brand new weight loss program. This system incorporates the hypnotic tool, the Virtual Gastric Band, developed by UK clinical hypnotherapist Sheila Granger, along with tools and information from the latest medical research regarding the physiology and psychology of weight loss.

Built on PROVEN Protocols

The Virtual Gastric Band has gone through similar trials in the United Kingdom (UK), revealing a 95% success rate. The first trial saw 24 out of 25 candidates lose an astounding 190 lbs. in 5 weeks. This result attracted the attention of a General Practitioner in Beverley, East Yorkshire England and a second trial was conducted with 12 of his patients who had been removed from the bariatric surgery (gastric band surgery) waiting list by UK’s National Health Services (NHS) due to budget cuts. Again 95% of the group experienced a positive result. As a result the program has attracted people from all over the UK.

7 Group Sessions/ Limited Enrollment

The free treatments will be delivered in 7 group sessions. There will be 5 weekly sessions and 2 follow-up sessions roughly 3 weeks apart. All sessions will be delivered at the offices of Dr. Bentham at 1555 McKenzie on Monday evenings. The first session will be on Monday, January 9, 2012, so you need to act NOW.

More details, including the complete text of the press release, are available on the website LivingHealthyVictoria.com

You will also find the registration form for the program on this site.   Enrollment is limited to 12 people.

YES, it is TOTALLY FREE.

So what;s in it for us? We just want to collect the data on the results, Why?
•While the Virtual Gastric Band has been PROVEN in the UK, it is not well known here and we want local results.
•The participation of Dr. Bentham means we are able to add even more into the program regarding the physiology and psychology of weight loss
• The previous studies were limited to 3 or 4 sessions – our study incorporates 7 sessions are spread over 11 weeks, allowing you to really incorporate the changes into your lifestyle.
As Dr. Bentham says “Julia’s virtual gastric band helps break the overeating cycle, which is the first step. We then explore how your body is meant to function, and give you the tools you need to support healthy metabolism. Weight loss is the side effect.”

This will be fun and beneficial and educational.  I am packing the sessions full of good information, good tools you can use at home and wonderful experiences.   I have been running groups for years, mostly for weight issues.  For this special I will be bringing the best of my experience with not only weight, but with smoking cessation, anxiety,  and motivation to you in a group format.

No matter what your focus you will experience hypnosis, learn about other healing modalities and , in some cases experience them, learn how to apply at least one of them to your issues, receive a FREE hypnosis session (audio track) to use at home, and be eligible for special discounts for my other services.

The first group session is called Prepare for Change.  This is required no matter what change you are looking for.  In this session you will:

• do an exercise to prepare for change,
• experience a group hypnosis session that builds on the exercise,
• learn about removing barriers to success,
• see a demo and learn EFT ( the Emotional Freedom Technique) and
•  get some “homework” for your next session.

You can sign up for this session online at this link.

For your second session you will join a group of people whose change desires are closely aligned with your own.   I am sure there will be Weight Loss Groups and Stop Smoking Groups and probably Self Confidence or Anxiety and even perhaps a group interested in learning self-hypnosis or the Mental Bank method of manifestation.   At this second session you will experience another group hypnosis session focused specially on your desired change (or learn self-hypnosis), in many cases we will do an exercise based on NLP and PSYCH-K (a method to quickly change unwanted beliefs)  and PSYCH-K will also be demonstrated . Finally, you will select the FREE BONUS Hypnosis audio that I will send you to download following the session.  (If you want it as a CD instead, I can provide that for a nominal processing and materials charge of $5.

Please check out the rest of my site here for information on:

• my Weight Loss Groups,  which I have been running for years as the Lighten Up Victoria (LUV) Healthy Weight Loss Program
• my Stop Smoking Programs ( there are 3 of them)

• and the whole list of issues for which I have specific proven techniques

I hope to see you soon !!

There have already been two trials in the UK.   The first trial saw 24 out of 25 candidates lose an astounding 190lb in 5 weeks.  This result attracted the attention of a General Practitioner in Beverley, East Yorkshire England and a  second trial was conducted with 12 of his patients who had been removed from the bariatric surgery waiting list on the UK’s National Health Services (NHS) list.  Again 95% of the group experienced a positive result.

Provisional arrangements are now underway for a pilot study to be carried out next month (October 2011) in the UK, together with the Humberside Obesity, Nutrition, Education and Innovation Centre. The partners of this organisation include The University of Hull, Hull and York Medical School and several members of the pharmaceutical industry.

He’s also the cover boy of the October issue of Prevention magazine, hitting newsstands tomorrow, and says that he wants people to be more focused on “weight loss and better sex” along with “physical activity and sleep” for overall health.

And he has no qualms about saying he’s an advocate for gastric bypass surgery, which he hopes will grow in the near future as a tool for in helping to fight obesity: “I…think gastric bypass surgery will play a big role. We probably do only 1% of the gastric bypass surgeries we should do.”

He explains, “Yes. Listen, if you’re one hundred pounds overweight at age fifty, you have the same mortality rate as if you have a solid cancer. Would you operate for cancer? Yeah. So if you cannot lose that weight, get one of these procedures. You have to do it with counseling and full awareness of what you’re doing, of course. But if you get people to start losing 5% of their excess body weight, you’re really taking a big whack out of the two-thirds of Americans.”

Here’s a short pre-roll-out video I shot last week.

httpvh://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjw9ObNYq4c

You can get the report mentioned in the video at http://HypnosisForWeightManagement.com

Here, locally, you can get the whole service – 5 sessions plus a 15 minute re-inforcement audio track for you to use twice daily for a month – for  just $650*.  Read more HERE.

*This is an introductory price.  It will be in effect through Dec 31, 2011.  This is our monthly special for this period.

In hypnosis your own desires and reasons for change can be shared directly with your subconcious so that you will jsut find yourself NATURALLY being motivated to do exactly what you want.  It is so easy and fun.

This was our summer 2011 special… but motivation is good anytime !!!

If you are at the point where a part of you really, really wants to move on but you just can’t seem to let go, then hypnotherapy is an excellent choice for you.  You can relax and enjoy while you reprogram your mind to leave any pain or anger in the past, where it belongs, so you can move forward, enjoy your life and even prepare for new meaningful relationships to flow into your life.

This was the monthly special for May 2011.

So if you are in need of a break to far away places or have an urgent reason to fly and haven’t yet overcome your anxiety, come get some help !

As long as you have a conscious intention to be calm during travel and can articulate your motivations then you are ready for hypnotherapy  – a great way to retrain your mind while being relaxed and comfortable.

You can count on significant improvement after just one session.  A second session is sometimes a good idea to reinforce all the new learning in your mind and build your confidence even more.

It is so useful to know ALL your motivations when you use hypnosis.  If you are noticing ANY of these things or have developed a fear of any of then  then the reduction of that risk or that symptom is a good motivation.  Stating the motivation postively is an important aspect of how we communicate with the subconcious mind.  So here is the quick list from the article with sample postive motivations.  It is definitely worthwhile to read the article as well.  And then call me (250-884-5031) to discuss how hypnotherapy might help you !!
