Next workshop- 20th March 2010
Have you tried all the different diets and exercise regimes and still struggle with weight loss?
Then this seminar may be for you!
Would you like to gain control over your mind and body to allow you to overcome emotional eating pattens and feel good about yourself?
This one day seminar teaches you some of the secrets of using Hypnosis and NLP to change the patterns that lead to over eating.
Evidence has shown that diets seldom work over the long term and this is mainly down to the fact that many of them limit what you eat by way of strict guidelines and points systems. This may be fine for a while, but it can be hard work to keep track and avoid temptation!
What if you could lose weight without having to avoid the food (and drink) that you love?
Just think of the freedom of not having to count points for the rest of your life just to keep at your ideal weight.
This seminar will:
Change the way you eat
Address the emotional reasons behind over eating
Let you take control
Show you new ways to feel good about yourself because when you feel good about yourself, you look after yourself better!

If that sounds like a useful thing for you to have land in your inbox once a week, fill out the form below and you’ll receive the next one!
Last night I attended the Troubleshooting Enlightenment Workshop by Jamie Smart from Salad Ltd and I have to say I am still buzzing from the experience!
The workshop took place in one of the many meeting rooms at the Grand Connaught Rooms, a fabulously luxurious building in the Holborn area of London. I always get a bit of a buzz when I visit central London so I was already feeling pretty good although not as good as I could have been (lots on my mind!)
The workshop started and I soon relaxed as Jamie started his talk. What I love about Jamie is that he has so much knowledge and passion about the subjects he talks about but also uses his irreverent style and humour to get the message across. This is important to me as it really helps me get into a good state of learning and enjoyment which I think is very important- we all know how important it is to enjoy the learning process for the information to really sink in!
So what was the workshop all about? Well, the theory is fairly simple and has been spoken about for hundreds of years by Buddhists as well as many other Eastern religions, but Jamie’s way of presenting the information somehow hit home much more than any Buddhist text I have read.
What Jamie is saying is that everything around us- all that we see, feel, taste, hear and smell is a representation constructed by us and it is up to us how we interpret these representations. We can therefore choose how we feel about anything at any time. For example, if someone cuts you up in traffic, you can choose to be furious at the guy in the white van or you can choose to just let it go or even find it funny. You may feel like you should be beeping your horn, shouting out of the window or giving the guy the finger, but does that really feel good? The guy in the van doesn’t care about your ranting. He isn’t going to pull over, apologise and say “Sorry. After you old chap!”. And meanwhile, who has all that anger? Yup-you do!
Because we all have a choice about how we feel at any time and specifically now, we could just choose to feel happy despite what is going on in the outside world. Now, this may be easier said than done, but when you just allow yourself to go inside, and give it a go, you soon realize that it does feel good to just be in the here and now and feel happy inside. And the more you do it, the more automatic it becomes!
Jamie went into this in much more detail than I have, but if this sounds like something you would like to try, why not check out the next free workshop in November by following this link for a short video from Jamie and more info:
Troubleshooting Enlightenment
Be happy!
Last Friday, 18th September, Channel 4 showed the second episode of the new Derren Brown series – Derren Brown The Events.
I was particularly looking forward to this show as it was all about suggestion and how we are all susceptable to a greater or lesser extent.
In this episode, Derren showed how he could place subliminal messages around a shopping centre so that he, dressed up as a homeless person, could collect a signifcant amount of money from the public. He ended up getting £350 and someone even donated their shoes to him!
This was, of course the precursor to the grand finale where Derren experimented with the general public to try to make them stick to their seats while they watched the programme at home.
There have been many reports of people becoming stuck to their chairs and even some people who did not believe it possible noticed that they could not get up from their sofas.
As usual, Derren used a certain amount of misdirection such as the short subliminal movie at the start of the experiment but in reality, the trick came down to some very clever wording of the “rules of the game” and what you could call informal hypnosis. A certain amount of expectation would have ensured success in a certain number of cases of stuckness, but this was enchanced by the unconcious communication going on in a very similar way to how all Hypnotists work, both in a stage setting and in a theraputic context.
Even the people who were conciously shouting at the TV that it was all a load of rubbish, were being spoken to on an unconcious level and unfortunately for them, the unconcious mind is running the show! This is why the non-believers still found themselves stuck and why Hypnotherapy is such a powerful tool for change- Just think, if someone can be stuck to their chair in as little as ten minutes, how much can be changed in a person’s life with a few sessions of Hypnotherapy?
I’m so glad this program was shown as it now gives me an even easier way to explain to the people who come for a consultation at my Dunmow Hypnotherapy Practice how quick and easy change can be and how it may happen without them knowing on a concious level.
If you are feeling stuck, come and see me- I don’t have the beard, but I’ll do my best to free you from what is holding you back!
There is a great new Hypnotherapy resource that I have just signed up to. It is called the Hypnotherapy Directory and can be found at http://www.hypnotherapy-directory.org.uk/
It’s not just a regional listing of accredited Hypnotherapists though- It contains articles and information about the applications of Hypnotherapy as well.
If you are a Hypnotherapist, go there and get yourself listed! If you are curious about how Hypnotherapy can help you, appart from calling me if you are in Essex or the surrounding area, go to this site and learn more!

I have now added Paypal buttons for Hypnotherapy and NLP sessions.
just go to the services page on this site, click on Online Booking and there are Paypal buttons for a single session, block bookings (4 sessions with a 25% discount), smoking cessation, past life sessions and gift vouchers for past life regression and relaxation.
Don’t forget that you are still entitled to your free consultation, but if you would rather use a card than paying by cash or cheque, you can now do it online.
Well, it’s taken a while, but I have finally managed to get my first podcast uploaded!
You may have visited the site earlier in the week and tried to access it and had problems. Unfortunately, I have had numerous problems with podcast host providers so much so that I am onto my third host in a week! Consequently, I have changed the links below and all should be fine now!
The first podcast is an introduction to Hypnotherapy with a relaxation hypnosis recording at the end.
In the following months, I will be interviewing some very interesting people in the world of Hypnotherapy, Coaching and NLP.
Next month, the podcast will be featuring an interview with my Hypnotherapy and NLP teacher, Denise Collins. Denise is the owner of the Hummingbird Effect and is a fantastic trainer and therapist. I’m really looking forward to chatting to her and sharing the interview with you.
