Obesity
Ekta Abhay Lather
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Obesity is a complex health condition characterized by excessive body fat that can negatively impact overall well-being. It is often measured using the Body Mass Index (BMI), which considers weight in relation to height. Obesity can lead to various health issues, including diabetes, heart disease, and joint problems, and is influenced by a combination of genetic, environmental, and behavioral factors. Addressing obesity involves a multifaceted approach that includes healthy eating, regular physical activity, and behavioral changes. It's important to promote understanding and compassion, as individuals facing obesity may encounter stigma and misinformation. Supportive environments and resources can empower individuals to make positive lifestyle changes and improve their health.

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.
