Hypnosis For Weight Loss
If you have ever tried to lose weight by dieting, you know the challenges you will face. Sticking to a very restricted diet for a several weeks or months can be very difficult no matter how motivated you are. If you are in a good place then the diet will work well for a few weeks or maybe a bit longer. However, you will find/gain all the weight you lost plus more if all you have done is restrict your food intake. If what you want instead is a strategy you can use for the rest of your life to insure you stay at a healthy weight for you, then you want to work with Loving Kindness Hypnosis.
Change Your Relationship with Food
I will teach you to think about food differently, to change your relationship with it so that it is no longer your "go-to" strategy when you are feeling low, bored, lonely, anxious, etc. Learning to deal effectively with uncomfortable feelings is what this journey is about. Learning to think about and behave accordingly in regards to food as nourishment/fuel only is what my goal is for you. What is your goal for you? I am hopeful that your answer is to once and for all love yourself and your body by treating yourself with love and respect. With hypnosis, you will learn how to do this.
Hypnosis for weight loss can be an extremely effective solution for losing weight. In fact, studies have shown that hypnosis can be nearly twice as effective at supporting weight loss than traditional weight loss diets.
Become a Non-Smoker in 1 Session
Smoking is an unconscious habit, we will work with your unconscious mind to change your thoughts and behavior so that in 1 session you become a non-smoker for as long as you desire. The quickest and easiest way to become a Non-Smoker is with hypnosis.
We have come so far from those days when smoking was cool. You are no longer hanging out with the cool kids in the outside smoking area. The cool people are non-smokers. They are people who value themselves and do their best to treat themselves with loving kindness and respect. They eat well and exercise and live a healthy lifestyle. If this is what you want for yourself then LKH is the right place for you.
With LKH you will not replace one bad habit with another, rather you will become a Non-Smoker for as long as you desire while also learning strategies to calm down and deal effectively with uncomfortable feeling(s).
When you change your thoughts you change your behavior which results in a new reality; you as a Non-Smoker.
As a Non-Smoker you are now living the brilliant life you were meant to live. You can do this! Let’s Do Great Things Together!
GET MORE ALIGNMENT IN YOUR LIFE! BE THE PERSON YOUR DOG THINKS YOU ARE!
In addition to everything else, Stop Smoking Sessions are 100% tax deductible. Ask your tax person for more details.
LKH’s Stop Smoking program is a 1-2 session program, ($350.00) with a money’s worth guarantee; Most people stop smoking after the first session. If after your two sessions you start smoking again at any time in the next year, you can come back to me and I will help you again for free.
The cost may seem high but how much are you spending on cigarettes now? How long will it take you to save that amount now that you are no longer buying cigarettes? If you are willing to pay $350.00 to stop smoking you really want to be a Non-Smoker so I guarantee that you will achieve your goal, for as long as you desire.
Also, let's make sure that this is not an amount you consider a “throw away” in your budget. If you have enough “buy in” with stopping smoking, any problems you encounter you will have addressed, and I want to make sure you get those problems fixed, instead of just throwing away the program and start smoking again.
I am interested in working with people who are serious about ending their relationship with cigarettes, cigars, chewing tobacco, pipes, etc. It is your strong desire to quit that will make you successful.
In order to determine if you are a good candidate please answer the following questions:
- Is it you that wants to stop smoking? (It is important that this is not something some-one else want you to do).
- Is there anyone else at home who smokes? (You will need an oasis from cigarettes for a few days).
- Are cigarettes still your friend?
- Is it your time to put them down?
If you have any doubts in your mind on any of the questions, get them cleared up before you commit to a session. No doubts !! Call me;

If you truly want to become a Non-Smoker you can be that. What are you waiting for?
The Challenge of Anger
The taboos against our feeling and expressing anger are so powerful that even knowing when we are angry is not a simple matter. When a woman shows her anger she is often dismissed as irrational or too emotional or hostile. When a man shows anger he is often ostracized and feared. We learn to fear our own anger not only because of how we are perceived by others but also it signals the necessity for change.
Anger is neither good or bad. It is something we feel and it exists for a reason and deserves our respect and attention.
When emotional intensity is high we engage in nonproductive efforts to change the other person and in so doing we fail to exercise our power to clarify and change our own selves.
When we vent our anger ineffectively we can easily get locked into a self-perpetuating downward cycle of behavior. We do have something to be angry about but our complaints are not clearly voiced and may elicit other people's disapproval instead of their sympathy.
Most of us have received very little help in learning to use our anger to clarify and strengthen ourselves and our relationships.
The challenge is to learn to manage anger in a productive manner.
Loving Kindness Hypnosis will help you with insight and practical skills to stop behaving in ways that are not helpful.

Loving Kindness Hypnosis for Fertility
We will connect to the positive energy of intention in every session.
Loving Kindness Hypnosis for Fertility can be a 3-month program or less depending on your needs. We do a multi-week assessment and see you each week for up to 12 weeks to work with you through up to three ovulation cycles.
Each week the session is individualized to meet your specific needs, and to assist you to effectively eliminate any emotions or thought patterns that may be inhibiting conception. You will develop the tools and techniques needed to support your ability to achieve a positive outlook and to successfully manage stress. Each session will include a hypnotic trance, which will access the unconscious mind to encourage fertility and ready the mind as well as the body for pregnancy. One of the goals is to lead you back to your goddess self. You will learn to become one with your heart, and reconnect to your path, and to trust your intuition. Together we will do the work to create the space you need to truly trust and surrender to your inner knowing. For many women, who have been very successful in their careers, it is difficult; to slow down and spend time getting to know their gentle, spiritual, trusting side, to relax and listen to their bodies. We will provide you with a client centered nurturing program, which will lead you to the best possible outcome.
Hypnosis for Fertility can be used alone or in conjunction with medical fertility treatments.
Hypnosis for Fertility is a holistic program. Conception is only the first part of the challenge. The hypnosis also helps to sustain the pregnancy, supporting you throughout the entire process. IVF is costly and we want to help you get the best possible outcome; to not only get pregnant but also to stay pregnant. Typically, we like to get three sessions in prior to retrieval, another between retrieval and transfer, and usually clients like to come in once a week during that waiting time (before the pregnancy test). Our program is designed to support all aspects of your fertility process including your healthy pregnancy, especially that all-important first trimester. We don’t want to leave you unbuttoned (emotionally, as can happen without follow-up), and our experience has shown that clients need and ask for ongoing support through the first trimester. This reinforces low levels of subconscious stress and is the recipe for a healthy pregnancy.
We hypnotize you weekly for fertility and teach you self-hypnosis, and stress management techniques all designed to enhance your fertility. Our program reinforces all medical fertility procedures as well as natural conception. We know you’ll be very pleased and confident in what we do for you.
Using hypnosis and other techniques, we will continue to work through any areas that were highlighted in the intake interview as well as any issues, which are coming up in the weeks between sessions and or during your medical appointments. Holding onto past issues, even on an unconscious level, could be inhibiting your ability to conceive and letting go of these issues and gaining a more positive outlook prepares you mentally for conception. There is growing evidence to support the mind body connection. If the mind is in the right place the body will follow. In each of these sessions we will focus on many aspects of fertility. We will stop the negative self-talk, we will transform your fears and frustrations into positive self talk that will aid you in the relaxation necessary for a calm, peaceful, positive and viable pregnancy.

Hypnosis for Stress and Anxiety is a primary focus at LKH
The world we live in today is changing at a fast pace and is highly complex and frequently confusing which leads to feelings of stress and/or anxiety.
Many people come to LKH for a variety of issues but stress is frequently at the core of these issues.
I have enjoyed working with clients to help them create different thoughts that create calmness and more peacefulness in their lives. I have some of the most powerful tools at my disposal that I look forward to sharing with you so you can take them home and use them for the rest of your life.
It is an honor to work with clients to help them change their thoughts, feelings and behavior. This mind, body approach really works to change your life. I am really good at this and I would love to show you how you can remove those feelings of stress and anxiety. It’s easy. Read on and then call me.
If you have a diagnosis from your mental health provider, hypnosis is complimentary to traditional mental health services for alleviating anxiety. LKH will work with your doctor to help you.
We generally use the word “stress’ when we feel overwhelmed and we don’t believe we have the resources to deal effectively with the challenge.
Stress can affect your thoughts and feelings and your behavior.
When we are stressed our blood pressure rises, our breathing becomes more rapid, our digestive system slows down and our heart rate rises, and our immune system goes down, and our muscles become tense and frequently we do not sleep as we are in a heightened state of alertness.
We often feel angry, burnout, depressed, insecure, irritable, sad, and restless and have problems remembering things and solving problems.
Anxiety and stress affect our eating as we tend to overeat or eat very little, we have food cravings. Sudden angry outbursts and higher tobacco consumption are also frequently due to stress. Abuse of drugs, alcohol can also be a symptom as can frequent crying and relationship problems.
LKH will individualize a program to meet your unique needs.
Our program will address your issues using a two-prong approach. We will help you to remove erroneous beliefs that are contributing to the stress and anxiety and we will teach you strategies that you can use every day to cope with the ongoing stress of every day life.
Learn open heart communication that will keep you in the present
Many people in relationships often find themselves responding to the other in a child like manner. They find they are easily triggered by their partners.
You and your partner many look like grownups but when triggered you regress to a child state of mind. You may find yourself feeling fear, which often turns into anger. Your first thoughts are about what the other person is doing and or saying that leads to your angry feelings.
Your mind may go through all kinds of fearful scenarios, which often lead to increased angry reactions, judgments and conclusions. The event that caused this kind of reaction could be something like a partner not coming home at the time agreed upon or some other event that seems small to one partner but feels huge to the other.
These differing feelings often get in the way of open communication as neither partner understands what is going on and frequently doesn’t know how to help. One partner may even feel, they can’t do anything right or doesn’t understand the other’s reactions. Everyone then feels defensive and communication breaks down.
Hypnosis is very helpful in these situations as at LKH we set up customized individual sessions for each partner so they may explore without judgement, their early experiences that may have led to their present day reactions. In hypnosis the client will look at those experiences and understand from an adult perspective what was going on so that they can change the erroneous emotions that were set in motion at that time. Once those feelings are changed to positive, loving feelings, your thoughts will change and then your behavior changes. You will both learn open heart communication that will keep you in the present listening with an open heart and looking for a win-win answer. You will now stay in the present with any issues that come up and will no longer be triggered, but instead will have healthy reactions and good communications that enhance your relationships.
It’s not hard, you can do it. In fact, it’s easy and it’s quick. Maybe 3-5 sessions and you are on the road, the high road to an ongoing successful relationship.
‘BWRT®’ stands for ‘Brain Working Recursive Technique®’, a method of working with personal issues created by UK professional therapist, Terence Watts, MCGI. It’s a totally confidential method that does not require you to reveal your private information or personal secrets to the practitioner and it is carried out in a completely conscious state. It does not use hypnosis, nor does it employ any concepts that might be considered mystical or unscientific – it’s completely logical, practical and down-to-earth, and for it to succeed only needs you to know what you want to change in your life. Only Certified Practitioners have been trained to deliver BWRT® and all have to adhere to a strict ethical code. Find out more at http://www.bwrt.org
Born out of a moment of inspiration
BrainWorking Recursive Technique® was created in 2011 by Terence Watts, a therapist, author of many books and training courses and principal of the Essex Institute in Essex, England. Like many great ideas it was born out of a moment of inspiration while reading about some experiments carried out in 1983 which appeared to show that decisions were made and acted upon by our mental processes before we become consciously aware of them.
Complex Issues Addressed
It became immediately evident that this process accounted for a huge number of the psychological difficulties which so many people have to put up with, and obvious, too, that with some research it could provide the basis for a profoundly effective therapeutic intervention. Terence had for some time been working on an idea to address several complex issues, such as:
- Why we sometimes can’t stop ourselves from doing things.
- Why we sometimes feel that we just cannot do something we would really like to.
- Why we so often limit ourselves from getting on with life.
- Why we sometimes give up on something without even trying properly to do it.
- Why we sometimes fear something when there’s no real reason to do so.
- Why some situations ‘trigger’ uncomfortable feelings, even though we have no idea why.
A ‘must have’ process for working with all manner of issues
As Terence was reading about the 1983 experiments, the key to the entire puzzle exploded into his mind. He began working on the project immediately and it became evident almost immediately that here was something very special indeed, something that worked in a way that was different and more effective than ever before. After extensive testing, a training programme was implemented and rapidly gained the reputation among many therapists as a ‘must have’ process for working with all manner of issues.
BWRT are a Bone Fide institute, having been given permission by the UK Secretary of State to use the designation, as a result of the research and scientific base of the BWRT process.
By now I imagine you may have more than a few questions about BWRT. Well, here are a few questions with answers to them below.
How is BWRT different from hypnotherapy?
Unlike hypnosis, BWRT does not involve being in a relaxed trance state, listening to hypnotherapeutic stories and suggestions. Instead, I will calmly guide you through a very innovative process wherein you will begin to respond differently to events and emotions which previously were difficult for you.
Will I need to share all the confidential details of my problem in a BWRT session?
Although naturally it will be important to know the core issue for your visit, I will not need to know the in-depth details of the problem itself. This means that in large part, BWRT is “content free.”
What kinds of issues is BWRT effective in helping?
BWRT has already proven to be a highly effective tool for confidence, weight control, anxiety issues and depression, PTSD, phobias, procrastination, performance anxiety, fear of failure and ADHD, to name but a few.
Have questions?
Most people do have questions. Your inquiries are valued and welcome! No question is too small.
