I decided to try hypnosis for weight loss when I was at quite a low recently. I found myself upset with my weight, and appearance and had very poor self-esteem and little confidence. I’d tried lots of things previously like dieting, fitness programs, self-help, and even psychology but nothing really stuck until I started hypnosis with Donna. Within the first few days of starting hypnosis, I noticed significant changes in my weight, mood, and attitude towards life. I was able to get in touch with my own blocks and habits that were previously holding me back from reaching my full potential, in a way that didn’t feel like a chore. I no longer get strong cravings or feel as if food is a reward of sorts and I’ve stopped seeing the scales as my enemy. I can genuinely say that my experience with Donna has been life changing, I was able to learn that the mind is extremely powerful. She’s so supportive, down to earth and has been such a lovely person to work with. I treasure my experiences with Donna.

I researched Hypnotherapists because I was interested in addressing my weight issue – morbid obesity. I chose to see Donna after investigating various options. I have an eating disorder, or I should now say, had, where I could not control my food intake. I was eating excessively and it was generally emotionally based. I was skeptical of success when I went to see Donna. That skepticism was based on past negative experiences. I can’t really describe how or what happened during the sessions but I know the result is that I have completely changed my attitude toward food and consuming it. I have consistently released weight since working with Donna. I see my body as a ‘temple’ and think carefully about what I put into it. I feel physically and emotionally better because I am eating quality foods, and smaller portions and I don’t have a need to be consuming food constantly! I am not controlled by it now. I started seeing Donna in mid-March and two months later I lost about 11.5 kg.

The most interesting point to emphasize is that I have not ‘tried’ to lose weight. I don’t feel deprived and have not been ‘struggling’ like I did on every other weight loss program I attempted in the past. I have made the life changes necessary to address weight reduction. I had initially set goals and am continuing to honour those. Whilst working with Donna I addressed personal issues as well and have seen positive impacts in these areas of my life. Without a doubt, I can say these sessions have been life-altering for me.
