The Virtual Gastric Band weight loss programme with Ambe Wellness Hypnotherapy

Karen is a 40 + year old woman who recently completed a 4-week weight loss programme using professional hypnotherapy with me.  Karen chose the Virtual Gastric Band option and agreed to be interviewed about her experience. Here's what she had to say......

·         Can you describe your initial expectations?

This is my last attempt, nothing else has worked. This is it. I expected it to be a temporary measure – I didn’t realise it’s for life.

·         What was your motivation to lose weight?

For my confidence. To be able to walk my dog comfortably with less joint pain. To be a role model for my daughter. Keep up with fitness.

·         What were your previous weight loss challenges?

Willpower for sure! I’d always say that I’d start on Monday. A lack of encouragement and consistency.

·         How did you first become interested in hypnotherapy being a possible solution? 

My daughter once had hypnotherapy for self-esteem, which worked wonders. I then booked a food intolerance test with Ambe Wellness and realised that hypnotherapy was another service that was also available.

·         Can you describe your initial experience of your first session?

Really positive, very relaxing. It gave me an arena to express my feelings.

·         How did hypnotherapy differ from your previous approaches to losing weight?

I’m not watching my calorie intake anymore. I want to eat healthier, and I feel less pressure, free with less restrictions. I now want to exercise – exercise for me.

·         How did your motivation and mindset change towards food?

I’m enjoying food more, trying different foods. I’m not buying low fat foods because I have the freedom to choose.

·         What other positive changes have you noticed in your wellbeing so far?

I’m happier, getting more confident, no more nose bleeds, losing weight, no lower back pain whilst walking anymore and it’s contributing to less anxiety.

·         Have there any aspects of the hypnotherapist – client relationship that you found particularly supportive on your journey?

100%, all good right from the start, I felt comfortable. My thinking was challenged, and she was willing me to do well.

·         Lastly, what advice would you give to someone considering hypnotherapy as a possible weight loss solution on their own journey?

Open your mind as it’s good for your well-being. It’s specifically for you and hypnotherapy addresses so much more than just weight loss.
