Hypno-Band, with Emma Daffern Hypnotherapy in Hereford, is a revolutionary weight loss program designed for people with a high BMI (Body Mass Index. It offers all the benefits of a surgical Gastric Band without the surgery, the risk or the cost. It is not another diet, instead the aim is to change the way you approach food forever.

"I've now lost 3 stone -- and still can't believe it. It is so easy to do, I only wish I could have done it years ago. I feel really well in myself and am actually enjoying physical exercise - something I never thought I would say! For the first time in my life I feel that I have control over my 'food addiction' rather than the other way around." Dawn Cuss, Hereford

This weight loss program is different. It works because you will have the opportunity to change what you believe about who you are and what you're capable of achieving.

Being on the program means being prepared to make changes to the way you live and the way you think. You will discover how to avoid self-sabotage and how your mind can help you to achieve your new body shape.

Hypno-Band harnesses the power of your imagination to create a state of mind where your body will believe you have had a gastric band fitted, helping you to control your portion sizes. The work on challenging your beliefs and giving you help to manage your thinking will clear old barriers from your path to sustained weight loss.

Many people who have failed to lose weight or maintain their ideal weight in the past have beaten themselves up for their lack of willpower. What they didn't reckon on was the part their emotions played in their eating habits.

We eat for so many reasons besides providing basic nutrition for our bodies. As part of the therapy we will look at those reasons and then find new ways for you to fulfill your emotional needs.

How does it work?
Over five sessions I take you through the process of having a gastric band fitted, only in your mind. By using suggestion and visualisation your mind will become convinced that your stomach has been reduced in size and that you need less food. By eating less and less frequently and exercising more you will begin to lose weight. The process uses hypnotherapy and cognitive behavioural techniques to help you achieve your ideal weight -- and stay there.

Who is suitable?
Hypno-Band is targeted at people who have a BMI over 25 and have already tried dieting. The key to success is YOU. If you're totally serious about losing weight; you're prepared to re-think your beliefs around food and eating, and you're willing to make the necessary lifestyle changes, then you're in the best place to make Hypno-Band work for you.
