Last year, I lost 40 lbs working with Carolyn Arnold and I’ve kept it off.

Since I was 4 years old, I’ve been an emotional eater. I used to eat when I was sad or anxious to comfort myself. I used to eat when I was happy to celebrate. Pretty much if I was feeling an emotion, there was a food to go with it.

The worst part was my nightly anxiety snack. Every night around 8 p.m., I’d have to have a bowl of ice cream or a bag of microwave popcorn.  It was the thing to quell my anxiousness and help me sleep.

I am an intelligent woman. I know that the extra 200 calories a night was what kept my weight on. And yet I couldn’t stop. It was like I was four years old again.  I was frustrated.

I had a few sessions with Carolyn. In one of the sessions, she regressed me to a young age. We encountered the memory, the moment that started this whole problem.  While under hypnosis, she helped me let go of that feeling of vulnerability.

That night I didn’t need a snack. I didn’t even think about a snack! I didn’t miss it. It was just suddenly bedtime.  The next night was the same thing. No snack required.

It’s been 15 months since we worked together, and in that entire time, I haven’t done any emotional eating. I enjoy my food, but it isn’t required to comfort me. I don’t find myself standing in front of the cupboard wanting to eat something to make the anxiety go away.

I didn’t expect that I would be able to be hypnotized, and I certainly didn’t think that the key was one locked away in my memory.  Carolyn’s hypnosis broke the link between comfort and eating. I highly recommend her.

What if you could get the results of a gastric band without the surgery? HypnoSlimmer is working to help overweight people by offering an extremely effective method to shed weight.

Virtual Gastric Band Hypnosis is very popular in the Spain and now is beginning to be the weight loss method of choice here in the UK.

Here are the benefits of Virtual Gastric Band Hypnosis

Hypnosis is now the most successful way to shed weight without the use of dangerous drugs and costly surgery. The only side effect is a slimmer, trimmer you.

HypnoSlimmer, a national weight control company, is offering 20% off one to one courses and Gastric band hypno-surgery for January.  All HypnoSlimmer consultants are offering eligible clients the Gastric band session at a fantastic discount to get 2012 off to a flying healthy start.

“We work with clients all the time and see some wonderful results,” says Jeremy Cobb, Sales Director of the HypnoSlimmer organisation, “but the people who can benefit the most from the hypnotic gastric band are those who have a BMI of over 30, and we find most of those are considering the real surgery first. We think this is the wrong way around; surgery is expensive and risky.  We want people to consider the lower risk, lower cost techniques first.  So, for them, we are offering 20% discount in  January as part of the overall HypnoSlimmer system. This will make it a very attractive offer, and certainly one worth considering.”

“I am really excited about this offer,” says Brian Glenn the founder of the system. “I developed this system whilst working with people suffering from Anorexia over 15 years ago,  and I think this is every bit as rewarding.  I am really pleased that my techniques are still helping people in real need.”

DIETS MAKE YOU FAT!

Just the mere word ‘diet’ implies something you do temporarily. You diet against your normal eating patterns which are controlled by your subconscious mind. You may lose weight, but it is usually only temporary. As soon as you stop dieting, your old eating habits and beliefs return again and your body goes back to what it was doing before the diet, often leaving you bigger than you were before you actually started the diet.

Most traditional dieting systems will programme your mind to think about food all the time, counting calories, planning meals, avoiding certain foods. As far as we are concerned, this approach is totally wrong. No wonder you end up being bigger than before you actually started the diet.

THE SKIRT FITS

How many of you have a piece of favourite clothing languishing in the wardrobe that doesn’t fit you? You can’t throw it away, you love it too much, but it doesn’t fit you anymore. It is the one you measure yourself by; you are thin and beautiful when you wear it. Yet it has not really fit you in years.

Well for one lady the solution was Hypnotherapy with Hypnoslimmer. Through this system she is off diets for life! Sound too good to be true?

Julie Caveill of Cardiff was convinced after 2 weeks of the course that it wasn’t working for her, but everything changed by the end of the treatment. She emailed her consultant:

“My shape is changing dramatically, and i am so pleased with the programme.I am doing fantastic and feeling amazing…Sincerely happy that I am beating the demon of binging… I lost 5lb on holiday, this has never before happened to me, I usually come back 7lb heavier so over the moon…My clothes are falling off me!”

Julie was seeing Carolyn Arnold, one of the many nationwide HypnoSlimmer consultants. Carolyn was delighted with the result, of course. “I am always so pleased to see the changes in my clients; it is wonderful to see them finally stop the yoyo dieting, eat what they like, and still lose weight!

We use a combination of modern clinical hypnosis, NLP,  and mind technology to safely and effectively re – program your subconscious mind in a safe and natural way; allowing you to reduce your shape and size to a level that you have always wanted. With our unique and proven system, you can eat anything you want, and free yourself from the chains of calorie counting and weighing scales!

“Obviously we are very pleased for Julie and all our clients,” says Jeremy, “but to be honest this is not an unusual case; we see this all the time with our clientele.  We all became hypnotherapists in order to make these kinds of changes. This is why we all agreed to the January offer, it just made sense to help those who needed it the most.

Carolyn is holding a free information evening about HypnoSlimmer on Thursday, 5th January at 6:30pm at the Riverfront Theatre in Newport. She can be contacted on 0292 125 1254. Spaces are limited so please reserve your free seat in advance.

The link above is my discussion on Radio Wales about HypnoBirthing following the news of the NHS trials into hypnosis for childbirth.

Hi Carolyn!

As you’ve probably seen we had a baby girl Wed night.

My waters went Tues eve and my mid-wife arrived at 7am Wed. I was using the hypnobirthing techniques which worked amazingly well! I was already 8cm dilated when my midwife arrived! By 10am I was fully dilated and second midwife in attendance. They both commented that you wouldn’t know I was in labour and it was the most relaxing birth they had ever seen!!

I started using gas & air at this point as I was getting tired but still managed to using my breathing and relaxation.

Unfortunately by 4pm I still hadn’t appeared and there was no sign of her coming despite my best birth breaths! I was exhausted and dehydrated after 20hrs of labour (the surges were making me vomit!) so I had no choice – they transferred me to hosp. It really showed me the difference that relaxation can make…  All in all – the hypnobirthing was amazing I am am upset that I couldn’t have the birth I wanted. However, both of us are safe and well now. I just wanted to say thank you for all your help. I will definitely recommend hypnobirthing and my midwives were very impressed too!

I am more than happy for you to post my birth story. I’d love to encourage other mums-to-be to use hypnobirthing if I can! I saw a different midwife again today and apparently I’m the talk of the community because of how relaxed I was during the home part!!

Hi Carolyn

Just a quick email to let you know that our little boy, A was born on his due date! He weighed 7.7lb and is doing really well.

The homebirth went (almost) as planned and the midwives said it was a textbook birth. I say almost as planned because i was so convinced that I wasnt in labour that i sent Michael off to a meeting in north wales expecting labour to not really kick in for a long time yet and he ended up missing the birth! Whilst I didn’t use the visualisation techniques (I could never properly get the hang of them!) I used the breathing and listened to the cd while I laboured and even managed to have a little sleep while I was contracting every 2-3 minutes so I definitely think the hypnobirthing worked.

By the time I called out the midwife I was 7cm dilated (and I thought she was going to tell me I have ages to go – shows how calm I must have been!) and A arrived 3 hours later. Total “official” labouring time was 9 hours with 20min second stage where I “breathed” him out. I think he would have arrived even quicker but I think I held myself back when I realised Michael wasn’t going to make it back in time and had to give myself a bit of a talking to that it wasn’t good for me or baby to hold back and that I should just let my body progress.

Even though I never got round to giving my midwife the hypnobirthing information and she didnt really know much about it, I found all the midwives present were pretty much following everything that was in the hypno book anyway – breathing out the baby, not using negative words, not asking me about pain etc…. (well apart from telling me that I must have a very high pain threshold!).

I did use gas and air towards the end but that was because my blood pressure was high and the midwife thought it would help bring it down, (and therefore avoid a hospital transfer) and she was right! I also ended up having the injection to bring out the placenta immediately afterwards which I wasn’t planning on having but by that point I just didn’t care and wanted to curl up with my new boy as quickly as possible!

Anyway, that was a bit of a longer email than I expected but I just wanted to let you know how well the birth went and to say THANK YOU for taking us through the hypnobirthing course as it played a huge part in our successful birth.

ps – Michael used the breathing techniques to help him relax just before his driving test and passed first time!

Hi Carolyn,

I have been so desperate to tell you all about the birth but haven’t been able to get more than 30 seconds to myself since Monday!!

Little M is absolutely gorgeous and we are all over the moon to have her here safe and well.

As you know, I was well and truly ready for this little one to be born – here is the birth story!!

The night of 10th April I was having tightening sensations but these were not painful at all. I had been having similar sensations for the previous week on and off so was not holding out to much hope of anything happening. I went to bed quite early just in case. I slept very well but then woke up with a heavy sensation in my lower tummy. I didn’t think to much of it, didn’t check what time it was just went back to sleep. It happened again shortly after and again but I was still dozing. When I checked the clock it was 6.45am so I thought I may as well get up. Although I suspected this may be the start of labour – I was not expecting what happened next!!

I went downstairs and realised that this feeling was coming every minute or so. My membranes were still in tact so I presumed I had a while but phoned for the two people I had arranged to take the kids to come over asap. Poor M had to get ready for school and I didn’t want E to be worried by the comings and goings. By 7.15am I knew things were progressing very quickly. I woke J and told him to erect the pool VERY quickly and to go and pick up my Mum. I was outside the front door in my nighty breathing through some very intense heavy pressure feelings – I was sensing the pushing bit coming, I had only been in labour for 30 mins and was totally on my own!

At about 8am the pool was inflated but taking a while to fill. I was breathing and focussing and felt very much in control and calm (even without the midwife there). At 8.15am I settled into postion on the livingroom floor (next to the huge birthing pool – lol) on my knees leaning over the sofa and knew the baby was almost here (still no midwife). A few minutes later the midwife arrived to me extremely calm and more concerned that I didn’t want to be naked in my livingroom , I wanted to be in the birthing pool – she eventually persuaded me to take off my pj bottoms and as if by magic my baby was born onto the floor (8.25am). Poor J had just left the room for 10 seconds to get my a non slip mat for my knees and he missed the actual birth – lol.

He said he thought I was way too calm and relaxed to be about to give birth!! He thought he would have at least another 30 mins or so!!

The placenta was delivered after about 30 mins with no Syntocin and they waited until everything had stopped pulsating, just as I wanted. They asked me if I was ready to have her weighed ( I was) and they all gasped when they realised she was 9lb 12oz!! She doesn’t look it, she’s really dainty!!

Anyhoo – I am absolutely positive that the hypnobirthing helped hugely. It was really not that painful at all, I had no desire for any other form of pain relief and was cool as a cucumber.

Thank you sooooo much for everything,

Natalie x

Hi Carolyn
