Hypnotherapist, Diploma in Clinical and Applied Hypnosis, Diploma in Life Coaching
Obesity has been a common disorder. You don't have to suffer from it. You have time. I have been helping individuals with this disorder lose weight, stay fit and be healthy. I will help you become a new, healthy and happy you by Anapana M System and Dicit Hypnotherapy. Patients with this disorder are getting resilient in no time. Now it's your turn.
Obesity is treatable with hypnotherapy, which is considered a safe, effective, and evidence-based tool for weight reduction, particularly when combined with lifestyle changes. It works by fostering better eating habits, increasing motivation, and reducing food cravings, with proof showing significant, long-term weight loss in my clients.

Dr. Linda G. Ritchie, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., LPC, LMFT, Certified Hypnotherapist
If you’re struggling with weight, you may feel frustrated by the cycle of starting strong and then slipping back into old habits. You might know what to eat and what to do, yet still find yourself dealing with cravings, emotional eating, or a lack of consistency. Over time, this can lead to discouragement, self-criticism, and the sense that nothing really works long-term.
I help clients change the patterns that drive weight gain—not just the behaviors on the surface. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we identify and shift the thought patterns that lead to overeating, all-or-nothing thinking, and loss of momentum. With clinical hypnosis, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT/tapping), and NLP, we work at a deeper level to reduce cravings, strengthen self-control, and reshape your relationship with food. I also incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you stay committed to your goals and make choices that align with the life and health you want, even when it’s not easy in the moment.
What’s often missing isn’t knowledge—you likely already understand nutrition, diets, and what “should” work. What’s missing is a way to interrupt the automatic patterns—emotional triggers, habits, and internal dialogue—that override that knowledge. Without that deeper shift, the cycle tends to repeat, regardless of the plan you’re following.
The fact that you’re here suggests you’re ready for a different approach. If you’re willing to focus on changing the underlying patterns—not just the plan—I can help you develop consistency, reduce cravings, and create sustainable progress toward a healthier weight and a more balanced relationship with food.
