People settle, for things in their lives they don’t really like, that they feel powerless to change. I work with both the conscious and unconscious aspects, sometimes indirectly, in ways that engender changes on both of these levels. I enable and empower my clients to open up to new directions and possibilities, to new ways of feeling, doing, and being.
I have recently been using the Virtual Gastric Band process for weight loss with great success - a non-surgical technique which hypnotically "shrinks" your stomach, to retrain you to be satisfied with smaller amounts of food. No deprivation! - and you lose weight steadily.
Hypnotherapy is my third career (following mathematics and software development). I have no plans to retire, because I love what I do. There is no better feeling than seeing a client who has resolved his or her issues, often more then they though possible.
