Obesity
Nina Hopmeier
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC)
Weight gain can result in people feeling judged, insecure, and helpless in their ability to feel comfortable in their own skin. Weight gain is often associated with emotional distress and a perceived inability to manage hardships in a constructive and healthy way. The therapy process regarding obesity and weight gain will largely depend on the unique situation of the client. We will explore the history of your weight gain struggles; when it began and what was going on for you at the time. We will also explore the purpose of turning toward food. Food may have helped you to temporarily manage difficult emotions. Understanding the purpose and function of turning toward food is a fundamental part of the therapy process, as clients learn to view their difficulty through a compassionate and nonjudgmental lens. By gaining insight into the meaning that you attach to food we will collaboratively establish a treatment plan that aligns with your unique wants and needs.

Shelley Murphy, Food & Body Image Hypnotherapist
Hypnotherapist, BASc, Former RD
Shelley brings a rare combination of expertise as a former registered dietitian turned hypnotherapist. Most people who struggle with their weight already know what foods support health, what habits they “should” be doing and what hasn’t worked before. And yet, emotions trigger overeating, motivation fades, all-or-nothing thinking takes over and shame leads to giving up. This isn’t failure; it’s how the subconscious mind works. Patterns like emotional eating, cravings, and self-sabotage operate below conscious awareness. That’s why insight alone often isn’t enough. Hypnotherapy works by shifting the subconscious patterns that drive behaviour. Rather than forcing change through discipline, Shelley's non-diet approach with hypnotherapy helps your system feel safe enough to respond differently by calming the nervous system, interrupting automatic habit loops, strengthening internal cues of trust and regulation, and reducing the emotional charge around food and weight. So change becomes less effortful, and more sustainable.
