Kimberly Davidson | Katalyst Integrated Trauma Treatment
Counsellor/Therapist, RCS, MTC, RTC, SEP, CCTP, CCISM, CFRC, CATP, NARM
Trauma related weight issues are complex and need to be considered carefully and treated even more carefully because of all they are connected to. In most cases, loss isnt a good thing. So the very thing we may want for ourselves, puts other parts of us in jeopardy. Having a knowledgeable partner to work through this safely, will make all the difference.

Philip Starkman
Registered Psychotherapist, MSW, RSW
In my practice, I offer a compassionate and holistic approach to clients seeking support with weight loss, understanding that the journey to achieving a healthy weight is as much about the mind as it is about the body. Integrating strategies such as Mindfulness, the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Role-Playing, I help clients address the emotional and psychological aspects of eating and weight. Mindfulness practices foster an awareness of hunger, fullness cues and eating habits. EFT helps in managing cravings and emotional eating, while IFS allows clients to explore and heal parts of themselves that may be resisting change. CBT is utilized to challenge and modify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors related to food and body image. Role-Playing can prepare clients for challenging situations around food and eating. My role is to support you in uncovering and overcoming the underlying factors contributing to weight challenges, providing a safe space to explore, learn, and adopt new strategies for a healthier and more balanced life. Together, we work towards not just weight loss, but a deeper sense of well-being and self-acceptance.

HealthWise Hypnosis
Hypnotherapist, CHt
Hypnosis is a powerful tool for weight loss, offering a range of benefits to support positive changes in your relationship with food and your body.
Through hypnotherapy, we can transform your mindset by reprogramming your subconscious beliefs and boosting your motivation and commitment to weight loss.
We address behaviors that contribute to weight gain or hinder progress, such as unhealthy eating habits and emotional eating triggers. Hypnosis helps you gain control over your appetite, manage cravings, and make mindful food choices. It also increases motivation and self-confidence, helping you stay committed to healthy habits and fostering a positive body image.
Additionally, hypnotherapy addresses emotional factors like stress and low self-esteem, promoting overall well-being. By focusing on sustainable changes and long-term weight maintenance, hypnosis becomes a valuable part of your comprehensive weight management plan.
Working together, I can customize the hypnotherapy sessions to suit your specific needs, guiding you towards successful weight loss and a healthier lifestyle.

Dr. Christine Sauer
Life Coach, MD;ND
Weight loss is not hard, keeping the weight off is the hard part. I know that from my own experience as an obese person. Yoyo dieting makes things worse, and surgery and pills or injections are not a solution for everyone. I have helped many clients to lose weight and many were able, like myself, to keep it off for many years. Let's talk.

Nina Hopmeier
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC)
The struggle to lose weight occurs in males and females across varying cultures. Feeling unable to lose weight can create feelings of helplessness due to trying out numerous diets without seeing satisfying results. In working with somebody who is overweight or who would like to lose weight the most important factor in our work together is looking beyond the weight loss struggle. Rather than exploring the multiple methods you have tried to lose weight, I would like to get to know you better as a whole person. When did you begin recognizing your need to lose weight? What was going on for you at the time? What does weight gain mean to you, and how does it affect your perception of yourself? I would also like to explore the barriers to losing weight, as they are often linked to unhealthy thoughts patterns and past trauma. Although a small portion of our work together can include psychoeducation on nutrition, we predominantly focus on the underlying issues that have triggered the weight gain. Together we can devise a treatment plan to help you attain your goals and aspirations.
