Healthy Weight Management vs. Short term Weight Loss
When a client comes to me wanting to lose weight using hypnosis and Neuro Linguistic Programming Techniques, my first questions is “Why do you want to lose weight?”
I ask this because I’ve found that once you understand your “why” the “how” becomes much easier.
The “Weight Loss” Mindset
When it comes to losing weight the reason most people only experience temporary success is they have a “weight loss” mindset. In other words the have a short term goal such as being able to look good for a special day or event.

Hypnosis – Mind Miracles or Just Plain Quackery?
As a hypnotherapist I often hear interesting ideas about what hypnosis is and what it can do. As I see clients in my San Diego office I often find the need to debunk some of the myths my clients have heard about hypnosis.
One of the biggest questions I get is “Does hypnosis work?”
