Sustainable weight loss
with medical hypnosis
Weight loss with hypnosis – returning to your natural healthy weight without dieting or pressure
Individual hypnosis sessions for sustainable weight loss
This programme is for people who are tired of dieting and want to understand and change the subconscious patterns behind their eating behaviour – in a medically grounded, non-judgemental way.
Why diets usually fail
Diets may help you lose a few pounds in the short term, but hardly anyone manages to maintain this weight in the long term. In most cases, we return to our original weight sooner or later, often even exceeding it.
The reason for this is that diets only address the physical level. Weight loss with hypnosis focuses on the subconscious patterns where eating behaviour is deeply rooted, instead of relying solely on restriction and discipline.
That's why I combine medical hypnosis with behavioural therapy approaches. This allows the body and mind to be brought back into harmony and the subconscious to be addressed in a targeted manner.
This enables profound and lasting change – without constant deprivation, pure discipline or relapses.
How hypnosis supports sustainable weight loss
Hypnosis supports sustainable weight loss by addressing subconscious eating patterns rather than relying on restriction or willpower. It helps reduce emotional and stress-related eating while restoring the body’s natural signals for hunger and satiety. As body awareness and self-regulation strengthen, a healthier and more stable relationship with food can develop.
You will find answers to frequently asked questions about hypnosis, coaching, and meditation in the FAQ section.

Client testimonials from individual hypnosis sessions

The following testimonials are drawn from individual sessions addressing a range of personal topics.
Not all clients wish to make their individual concerns public. The feedback therefore primarily offers insight into my way of working, the therapeutic relationship, and the nature of the guidance provided.
Why natural eating signals get lost
We are all born with an inbuilt sense of eating in the right way, which helps us maintain a healthy, fairly constant weight. That sense is felt in the body and it “whispers” to us when to eat, what to eat and when we are satiated.
For many of us that sense is lost at some point or gradually, over the years. Instead, we start listening to the mind.
But the mind is not in tune with our naturalness and balance. Instead, it functions by programs or patterns we learned as children:
patterns around eating habits (for example, if our mother constantly insists that we finish our plate, we learn to always do, even when we are beyond satiation; if we followed strict meal hours, we may continue, as adults, to eat before we are hungry, or postpone eating until we are too hungry to be mindful about what we eat).
patterns around using food for something other than nourishment: as solace, a reward, a way of managing stress etc.
In addition, our disconnect from the body is aggravated by the speed of our lives, the overload of information and the distractions caused by mobile phones, tablets or the TV.
Reconnecting with the body through subconscious work
Working with the subconscious is a powerful way to restore the lost connection with the body, that sense that we need for healthy, balanced and deeply enjoyable eating.
In these sessions, with the support of medical hypnosis, self-hypnosis and meditation:
We will bring light to the patterns you have around food, thus creating the opportunity for them to dissolve and clear the way to the body-connection.
We will find alternative ways to deal with the issues that the overeating is compensating for (e.g. dealing with stress in a more skillful way).
We will awaken and strengthen the connection with the body and its sense for proper nourishment.
Reconnected with our natural sense of healthy eating, we start to easily recognise when our body needs nourishment, how much and in which amount. The body weight, then naturally drops to its healthy, optimal level and is supported to stay there.
Scientific perspective:
Why diets don’t work,
Prof. Dr. Tim Spector:
“Stop dieting. Healthy food is defined by its colour, not by calories.”
“The ritualistic following of diets has become an epidemic. In the UK, for example, around one fifth of the population is on some form of diet at any given time – yet average waist circumference still increases by about two and a half centimetres per decade.”
“There is even evidence that an endless cycle of failed diets, with repeated weight loss and regain, may actually make people heavier.”
Prof. Dr. Tim Spector is a physician and Professor of Genetic Epidemiology at King’s College London and is regarded as one of the leading international experts in the fields of nutrition, metabolism and health.
The "Market of diets"
Most of the known diets have three things in common: a great name, a recipe for success, which is ultimately based on a reduction of food and thus on a perceived renunciation and the fact that they don’t work (for a long time). This sense of perceived renunciation is the reason for the eventual failure of diets and the resulting yo-yo effect.
