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.

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.
