Hypnotherapy & HypnoBirthing

 

HypnoBirthing

Visit: www.HypnoBirthingVancouver.com

I teach HypnoBirthing classes to expectant parents. The HypnoBirthing program is as much a philosophy of birth as it is a technique for achieving a satisfying, relaxing, and gentle method of birthing. This amazing program teaches you, along with your birthing companion, the art and joy of experiencing birth in a more comfortable manner.

You will learn how to call upon your body's own natural relaxants and thus lessen, or even eliminate, discomfort and the need for medication. When a woman is properly prepared for childbirth and when mind and body are in harmony, nature is free to function in the same well-designed manner that it does with all mothers in Nature.

Weight Management

You know you want to lose weight, you know all the reasons you should lose weight, yet time after time, you find yourself having trouble releasing those extra weight despite your best effort.  You may have faithfully followed some diet program, only to gain back all the weight, plus some more. 

The reason most people fail at managing their weight is because the approach they use is too simplistic.  Dieting alone will end in failure for most people.  This is because often times, weight is an emotional issue for people.  Dieting only addresses the food factor, what food you eat and how much you eat; it does not address why you eat and other factors outside of food. 

Many times, people eat to distract themselves from having to deal with certain emotions like pain, frustration, boredom, stress, anger, guilt and etc.  Other times, food becomes more than what it is when people start to associate it with comfort and love.  Eating is also a habit that we become conditioned to over time, this means we sometimes eat out of habit, instead of hunger.  Over time, our body has been conditioned to expect certain food at certain time, our eating habit therefore becomes an automatic and unconscious behaviour. 

Because weight is an emotional issue for people, programs that address only the physical aspect of the weight management are only going to have limited success.  They are limited because without addressing the deeper underlying emotional factors, the weight loss is not going to be sustainable. 

All of our emotions, beliefs and habits are stored in our subconscious mind, therefore, how we eat, why we eat and other emotional factors as to why we hold on to our weight are driven by forces from the subconscious level.  Food is only part of the equation. Sometimes, despite a healthy eating pattern and a regular exercise routine, some people still have trouble releasing weight.  They often feel that there is an emotional block that prevents them from achieving the outcome they desire.

This is where a combination of Counselling and Hypnotherapy approach can be such a wonderful tool in dealing with deeper, underlying issues related to weight management.  Hypnotherapy enables the therapist to gain direct access to the subconscious mind and affect changes directly at that level.  Through a combination of counseling and hypnotherapy, we will be able to work together to:

6Uncover and examine the real reasons behind why you haven't been able to release those extra weight

6Modify belief system or habits that contribute to weight gain

6Learn about using healthy and empowering strategies to deal with feelings and emotions instead of food or any other substitute

6Create long-term, sustainable patterns of positive eating behaviours and physical routines.

This is not just another attempt at weight loss; you’ll learn to create a healthy and sustainable life style that ultimately contributes to your overall sense of well-being.
