Weight Loss Hypnosis
in Rhode Island and Massachusetts

As you may know, the biggest enemy in long-term weight loss for most people is their mind. Most any program will work provided you stay motivated for long term success. Loss of motivation is the single biggest factor in initial and sustained weight loss. Click here for a brief article I wrote on weight loss.

Many people feel very defeated by diets that not only failed but caused a re-bound into even greater weight gain. Hypnotic support is the perfect way to maintain high motivation. It directly addresses your subconscious mind where motivation resides (or fails to reside).

And this is not just an opinion. Hypnosis has been proven to work in study-after-study. Three research studies reported in the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology demonstrate this clearly.

More Weight Kept Off Two Years Later With Hypnosis

A 9-week study was conducted of two weight loss groups. One group was given hypnotherapy for weight loss. The other wasn’t.

A follow-up two years later showed the people in the hypnosis continued to lose weight. The non-hypnosis group didn’t. (1985).

More Weight Lost Initially With Hypnosis

60 women who wanted to lose weight were divided into two groups. One received hypnosis. One didn’t.

The difference between the groups was dramatic.

The groups using hypnosis lost an average of 17 pounds. The non-hypnosis group lost an average of only .5 pounds. (1986).

Hypnosis' Power in Weight Loss
 Confirmed by
Meta-analysis

In 1996, a meta-analysis study was performed to investigate the results of adding hypnosis to weight loss treatment   A meta-analysis is a scientific review that compares the results of many different studies. Its purpose was to determine the impact of hypnosis on weight loss.

The analysis confirmed that adding hypnosis to weight loss programs not only increases initial results, but also helps assure long-term success.

The findings were startling. They reported an average increase in pounds lost of 97% in weight loss during treatment when hypnosis is added. More important, and even more impressive, hypnosis increased the long-term weight loss after treatment by over 146%.

My Proven One-on-One Program
 Hypnotherapy Program

Your personal program will begin with an initial month long, three sessions of hypnotherapy. These are designed to break the cycle of weight gain, create a burning desire to succeed, build a positive body self-image and replace feelings of failure with a firm belief that you can succeed.

With my help, you will design a simple plan for weight loss beginning with your first visit. You will then be hypnotically programmed to follow your program automatically. Instead of relying on willpower, you will be hypnotized to use your subconscious mind to change the way you think, act and feel about your body and taking care of it.

You can expect immediate weight loss as you change your mind about your body.

Each session and each program is unique for the individual client. My one-on-one program hypnosis and individual counseling will help you to achieve and maintain a high level of motivation. I do not propose or oppose any particular diet or weight loss strategy. That is up to you. However, I do promise you that you will not feel deprived.

I will address in hypnosis specific issues such as binges, lack of exercise, addiction to carbohydrates, late night eating, emotional eating, unconscious eating and others as they apply to you. Chronically obese clients are more than welcome; however, it must be understood that this is
not a medical weight loss program so it is essential that your program be supervised by a physician who is aware of your weight issues.

The first two hypnotherapy sessions take place a week apart. Then we will wait two weeks before the third session to allow the suggestions to take root in your daily routine. You will be given a free audiotape recording of each session and asked to listen to this tape on a daily basis if possible. This reinforcement will help to make the positive suggestions you have received a part of you.

A follow-up session is recommended, but not required, after a month and then after three months. Some people find the live sessions with hypnosis and coaching particularly helpful.

Typically, hypnotherapy is used to support a gradual change in lifestyle, not a quick fix diet. There are no special foods to eat. You just eat a little less and make better choices. Exercise is an important part of weight loss and you will be gradually guided into a program that fits your interest and schedule.

The cost for each hypnotherapy session is $85 and lasts about an hour. The cost includes a free audiotape of your session. So your total investment will be $255; however, you don't have to go by faith. If you are like most people, you will start noticing results after the first session.

Here are several comments from individual weight loss hypnotherapy clients:

Dear John

I just wanted to thank you for your help with my weight loss.  I came to you in about September wanting to loose 25 lbs.  It is now May and I have lost a total of 28 lbs!!  I am thrilled and feel so much better about myself and life in general. I felt the weight loss was at a nice consistent rate, which is helpful in keeping the weight off.  I truly enjoyed my experience with hypnosis - I'd come every week just for the relaxation of it!! 

Barbara M (Warren, Rhode Island)

Dear John,

My goal was to lose 30 pounds. Six months later I now weigh 32 pounds less. What's even better is that I never felt any deprivation. My doctor is impressed that the weight loss was gradual and represented a change in behavior that I can live with. Thanks so much.  I intend to keep listening to the tape and may check back with you in another six months just to keep myself on the straight and narrow.

Cathy T. (Warwick, Rhode Island)

Dear John,

Our first weight loss hypnosis session was January 5th. It is now about five weeks later (February 11th) and I am happy to report that I have lost 23 pounds through a combination of diet and increased exercise.   I have already given your name to several people.
