What is the Hypno-Band?
The Hypno-Band is also known as the virtual gastric band, or hypnotic gastric band, designed to help you to lose weight in the same way you would if you'd had a gastric band operation - only without the actual operation! It utilises the same "mind/body" connection that allows you to physically salivate at the mere thought of eating something sour, or makes your heart speed up when you have a stressful thought.

The Hypno-Band was created and developed by John Maclean of Newwave Hypnotherapy which is based in Mallorca, Spain and Exeter, United Kingdom. While seeing many clients for weight loss therapy John realised that for those clients who had a high Body Mass Index (BMI) regular weight loss hypnotherapy was not enough. The concept of gastric band hypnotherapy had been around for some time but John felt that what was needed was an integrated system that analysed and dealt with the client's emotional and psychlogical reasons for over-eating. After many months of research and development the Hypno-Band was born and today it has become the world's most used gastric band hypnotherapy system available through a network of Licensed Practitioners (over 200) in eleven countries. Practitioners come from all walks of life but have two things in common. They are all qualified and dedicated hypnotherapists and they all CARE! They care about YOU, the client. and their aim is to help you achieve your goal of effective and permanent weight loss!
The Hypno-Band is the original and most widely used gastric band hypnotherapy system. Using a combination of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Hypnotherapy it could help you to change your eating habits forever! If you are really committed to losing weight then the Hypno-Band will enable you to achieve your goals. Designed for those with a BMI over 25 the Hypno-Band is a safe, risk free and cheap alternative to Gastric Band Surgery. With over 240 Licensed Practitioners in twelve countries the Hypno-Band is the World's No.1 gastric band hypnotherapy system.

Why Diets Don't Work!
The sad fact is that diets don't work! How many times have you dieted and lost weight only to put it all back on again? The problem with diets is that they do not deal with the reasons why you over-eat in the first place and so as soon as you stop dieting you go back to your old habits and eating behaviours and before long all the weight you lost is back, and more!

Am I suitable for the HYPNO-BAND weight loss system?

Will it work for me?

Is it guaranteed?
Like any medical or therapy procedure there can be no definite guarantees. Even a surgeon cannot guarantee that an actual gastric band will work. It should be noted that it is YOU that holds the key to losing weight. No system will work if you are not 100% committed. The mind is a very powerful instrument and by using the HYPNO-BAND system you will have the tools and power to change your eating habits. The only way to lose significant amounts of weight is to eat less! The HYPNO-BAND system helps you to gently change behaviours, which in turn provides you with the ability to lose weight and stay that way!
Licensed Practitioners are all highly trained and qualified hypnotherapists. Be sure you only consult a Hypno-Band Licensed Practitioner to ensure you are getting the best service available. Beware of imitations!
The HYPNO-BAND Weight Loss System is extremely cost effective when compared to other methods. Whilst Gastric Band surgery can cost many thousands of pounds and even belonging to slimming clubs adds up after a time, HYPNO-BAND saves you money not only as a way to lose weight but in your weekly food bills! By using our system you will eat smaller portions and eat less often cutting your food bills in the process!
How much Does it Cost?
I do not charge an "up-front" fee, just my normal therapy charge on a session-by-session basis. Sessions can be taken weekly, fortnightly, or as required over an average of 4-6 sessions.
What do I get for my money?
The HYPNO-BAND system comprises a series of one hour sessions plus cd or mp3 recordings which you use for reinforcement. A full dietary and medical history will be taken and an initial assessment done during the first session. Also in the first session you will be introduced to hypnosis and experience the fantastic feelings of relaxation and calmness which results from being hypnotized. We will also begin your journey to losing weight. In the second session you will encounter the HYPNO-BAND and we will begin the process of having the virtual gastric band fitted. In subsequent sessions the HYPNO-BAND virtual gastric band will be fitted and adjusted. In later sessions the process will be reinforced and you will learn a different way of eating. Following the sessions you should use your CD or MP3 to back-up and reinforce the work you have done.
