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.

MJB Wellness LLC
Hypnotherapist, Certified Hypnotherapist and Coach, Certified Sexological Bodyworker, Sex Educator, Certified Reiki
It is widely accepted that weight loss, eating disorders, and anxiety are all issues that hypnosis is successful at dealing with. All have their root in emotional issues and the habitual way people see themselves and their lives. Research shows that most people who are grossly overweight have suffered some trauma in their lives leading them to holding on to excess weight and no amount of dieting will permanently change that without resolving those past traumas and changing habits and relationship with food. I see many such clients in my practice and we are able to find them healing and moving on to healthier lifestyle. While we work on the emotional roots of eating problems, it is possible to do hypnotic Gastric Band therapy which works exactly like the real Gastric band but without the painful and expensive surgery. We can set a limit beyond which you feel full and can't eat any more.

Semra Lamky, Emotional Peace Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP), Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC), MACP, Bsc
I support individuals in exploring the emotional, psychological, and behavioural aspects of their relationship with food, body image, and self-esteem. Obesity is often influenced by complex factors such as trauma, stress, anxiety, and societal pressure, and my approach is compassionate, nonjudgmental, and rooted in understanding each person's unique story. I help clients identify underlying emotional triggers, develop healthier coping strategies, and build a more positive and sustainable relationship with their bodies and overall well-being. My goal is to empower individuals to make meaningful changes while fostering self-acceptance and resilience.
