Absolutely! After 10 years working with overweight clients, I find the combination of the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and hypnosis - two of the most powerful techniques to enhance the mind - to be most effective. This approach has been exceeding expectations.

The main advantage of our program is that it deals with the deep causes of gaining and keeping weight, not with surface symptoms like the food you eat or your exercise regimen. Elimination of self-sabotage, addressing limiting beliefs, and changing unfavourable reactions to everyday stress will benefit everyone with weight problems.

Results vary, however. After all, everyone has his own unique combination of genes, metabolic make-up, beliefs, character, etc. Everyone has varying determination and motivation. In healing, “one-size-fits-all” or “one-program-helps-all” do not apply. Back to FAQ

When a person tries to lose weight through a calorie-restrictive diet or exercise, he or she only addresses the surface issues. He or she tends to overlook one crucial thing – the real reason why he or she is overweight. As a result, he or she finds it difficult to stay on the program and either gains back the weight lost, or doesn’t lose weight at all.

In order to lose weight and keep it off, the underlying issues – the root cause – must be addressed. This includes emotional overeating and subconscious (sometimes conscious) self sabotage.

Through our program, we can help you address these issues. Suffice to say, we help you "re-train your mind to be slim". This insures effective and long lasting weight loss. Back to FAQ

Results vary because everyone is different.

A person with food intolerance holds a lot of water in his or her body. Because of this, he or she loses weight very quickly because water is released when offending food is eliminated from his or her body. In other cases, a person can lose weight slowly. Losing weight a pound or two every week, albeit slower, is considered healthier.

Our program focuses on changing unwanted habits, improving thinking and outlook, and eliminating the causes of extra weight. This brings a gradual but steady change in weight. Furthermore, you lose weight even after the program is finished, sometimes for as long as a year. This is primarily because the cause of being overweight is eliminated for good. Back to FAQ

Our program is not a miracle cure. It will require some investment on your part. Before new habits are established, you have to help them and work on them at first. This includes putting in the effort to attend sessions, do the recommended exercises, and resist temptation.

Making these healthy changes on your lifestyle, however, is easier with our program. Because we “re-train your mind to be slim”, we work together to disarm inner saboteur, which could undermine your best intentions. As a result, drivers for emotional eating and food addiction are eliminated. Back to FAQ

Subconscious changes are the most stable. As you “re-train your mind to be slim”, you’ll find healthy food more attractive. You will eat, move, and think differently. Many of our clients continue to lose weight for months after the program and are able to maintain it. Back to FAQ

Hypnosis is a natural trance state in which a person has heightened suggestibility and imagination. These characteristics make hypnosis a great tool for changing subconscious habits, beliefs, and perceptions. It’s not sleep. In hypnosis, a person is alert and participates in the process.

The Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is basically acupuncture in a psychological sense. No needles are used – the acupressure points are simply tapped with the fingers. EFT releases negative emotions by balancing energy disruptions in the body.

The technical part of EFT – tapping – is very easy to learn and perform. However, randomly tapping on various acupressure points will not have any effect. EFT’s most important aspect is psychological. For EFT to work, you have to understand the psychology behind it and learn how to work out the root causes of the problem. In weight loss, EFT is effective because it eliminates the negative beliefs and emotions that cause inner sabotage, food addiction, and binging.

To get the best results, seek professional help. Read more about EFT here.

Unlike traditional psychotherapy or hypnosis, EFT can be effectively done over the telephone. This is a great option for those of you who don’t live in Toronto or have busy schedules. It is also easier for some people to talk about difficult issues over the phone rather than face to face.

When you register for a session, I will send you an email with a questionnaire you can fill out and detailed instructions on what we will do. I will then call you at an appointed time to guide you through the EFT procedure. After each session, I will send you an email with recommendations to follow in between sessions. The length of the sessions vary depending on your needs.

Because I will be calling you, you will be saving on toll charges. If you’re interested in a phone session, email me for more details and I will be happy give you more information, no obligations. Back to FAQ

Former or existing clients have the option of email consultations. These are for those stuck in the process and could use quick guidance. You can send me a detailed description of your problem and I will reply with suggestions and possible resolutions. Back to FAQ
