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.

Aria Fraser
Hypnotherapist, Certified Rapid Transformational Therapist
Obesity has its roots in any number of profoundly deep, inner beliefs that make a person's mind and body almost 'programmed' to feel that they need to/ have to increase their weight as a way to survive. Some of these beliefs have origins in childhood experiences, such as not having enough food growing up, abuse that led to a person needing to feel bigger to protect themselves, or even that they would not receive love from a caregiver unless they were 'being a good eater', etc. Once the cause is identified, the belief formed in childhood (sometimes later) can be addressed and released, then changed into a much more helpful belief to empower a person with an increased desire for self-care. Rapid Transformational Therapy helps by suggesting these new beneficial beliefs and desires to the subconscious level of thinking, making them feel natural and achievable. If a person believes at the subconscious level that they are a person who happily desires and chooses self-care/ healthy habits, they will release and change the unhealthy habits, resulting in positive effects on their weight and health. Ongoing support after the session will be available.

Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I do not use the word “obese,” as it is rooted in stigma and can be deeply offensive. Instead, I recognize that bodies naturally come in a wide range of shapes and sizes—from small to large—and that much of the suffering people experience is caused by cultural shame and fat phobia, not by body size itself. My work draws on IFS, Health at Every Size (HAES), Attuned Eating, Body Trust, mindfulness, and narrative therapy to help clients reduce shame, build body trust, and develop a more compassionate relationship with themselves. I provide diagnostic clarity when concerns about body size intersect with mood or eating disorders.
