Thousands of people world-wide have achieved significant weight-loss with hypnotherapy….

Emotional Release Weight-Loss Hypnotherapy

Weight gain is rarely just about food. For many of us, it’s deeply rooted in emotional patterns, stress responses, and subconscious habits that have nothing to do with willpower or calorie counting.

This therapy is designed to shift the weight from the inside out — by addressing the real reasons you may be holding on to excess weight. There may be a security or protection aspect to your eating, it may be a source of pleasure or “dopamine hit” if sugary food is pleasurable, maybe it is a sub-conscious connection to a positive time in your childhood, or maybe it is fear based due to past starvation or neglect. During this process, we use Hypnotherapy to bring your nervous system from a heightened state to a safe resting place to remind your mind and body that it is no longer under threat. We may also interrupt the habit of eating when you’re not hungry and look at whether there is a grief or loss aspect to your eating and address the trauma associated with that. The weight-loss comes as a bi-product of resolving underlying issues in the subconscious mind.

Why Emotional Release?

Emotions like grief, shame, fear, and unprocessed trauma can linger in the body, creating a protective layer—physically and energetically. Subconsciously, your mind may be trying to keep you “safe” by holding on to weight. Whether it’s from past experiences, childhood conditioning, or chronic stress, these emotional blocks can interfere with your body’s natural ability to find balance.

Why Reset the Nervous System?

When your nervous system is stuck in fight, flight, or freeze, your body doesn’t feel safe enough to let go. That means slower metabolism, disrupted digestion, hormone imbalances, and the urge to comfort-eat or self-soothe. Through targeted hypnotherapy and nervous system regulation techniques, we help shift your body into a state of calm and safety—so that it feels okay to release what it no longer needs.

What to Expect

Across five transformational sessions, you’ll experience:

  • Deep emotional clearing using hypnotherapy and subconscious reprogramming

  • Tools to regulate your nervous system and reduce food-related stress

  • Mind-body connection techniques that build lasting change

  • A sense of empowerment and clarity around your body and your choices

This is not a diet. It’s a deep reset.

If you’ve struggled with weight and nothing seems to stick, it’s not your fault—and you’re not broken. This programme offers a new way forward, based on compassion, neuroscience, and real transformation.

Virtual Gastric Band Hypnosis

The Virtual Gastric Band is a psychology-based, evidence-informed hypnotherapy approach designed to support sustainable weight management by reshaping your relationship with food.

Unlike traditional dieting methods, this program does not involve restriction, deprivation, or calorie counting.
Instead, it focuses on resetting unhelpful eating patterns and behaviours at the subconscious level, promoting natural, gradual weight loss without the need for invasive procedures.

How It Works

Delivered over five personalised sessions, the Virtual Gastric Band program uses a combination of clinical hypnotherapy and behavioural psychology techniques to:

  • Reinforce feelings of satisfaction with smaller portions

  • Identify and reframe emotional eating triggers (such as stress, boredom, or habit)

  • Encourage healthier, more mindful eating habits

  • Promote long-term behaviour change, without relying on willpower alone

Each session is tailored to your individual needs, recognising that every client’s relationship with food is unique.
The process also addresses potential obstacles to weight management, such as snacking, cravings, or comfort eating patterns.

Sessions can be conducted in-person at my Greytown clinic or online via Zoom, offering flexibility and accessibility. How many sessions is required depends on the individual.
