Hypno Gastric Band Weight Loss - Testimonial
07/01/2012 by admin.
Thank you to Nat G for her testimonial:
“Before I started my life change I had been eating all the wrong types of food as I was not allowing myself time to eat the correct food at meal times. I would often skip breakfast and then snack between meals. This would leave me feeling bloated, sluggish, having no energy. My weight had always been a problem because I had allowed it to be since I was about 16. Not only had I been eating the wrong types of foods but when I went out I would binge drink on Beer, Sambuca, Vodka, Cider and Jeager Bombs.
I then went for my first session with Ann who then asked me who my main people in my life were and where did my problem start I explained this to ann who then did some relaxation with me (I have never been so relaxed in my life). A lot of my weight problem has also had a huge effect on my confidence level and this is something that I feel is coming back. After the first session I walked out of the room feeling so confident and that I can crack the eating problem.
My second session with ann had me in a very relaxed state again and its a strange experience where I can remember feeling dirty when she spoke about the food/drink I had been putting into my body. After leaving that session it has had me thinking more about the foods I had previous had and also about eating between meals. I then had Christmas where I would usually eat more that I could take and drink more than I could take. This year its been different as after following the advice given I didn’t do any of it in fact I had been put to the test when going out to a restaurant for a family meal and everyone looked at me when I declined a pudding. At the moment I am focusing on making time for meals and not using excuses for eating rubbish. Also when I look in the mirror I am not cringing when I look at myself as I had done previous I look and say you can really crack this. I now drink water before meals. I am not thinking of this as a diet but a life change.
My operation session has been today so on the way home I tested myself and drove past a chip shop and the smell made me feel sick. I cant wait for the results to start showing and I would like to thank Ann for her time already. This means the world to me to look good and to also save myself from any long term health problems.”
New Year’s Resolution to Quit Smoking?
01/01/2012 by admin.
If you value your looks, enjoy them whilst you are young as smoking ages your skin, hair and teeth. Once you get over 30 it will start catching up with you. It also makes your breath, hair and clothes smell unpleasant. Non-smokers will probably be too polite to tell you how disgusting that smell is. This is an interesting slide show on how smoking ages you.
Health issues associated with smoking include:
- Lung Cancer
- Emphysema
- Fertility Problems
- Heart Attacks
- Strokes
- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
- Cancer of Larynx
- Cancer of the Mouth
- Pancreatic Cancer
- Early Menopause

Hypno Gastric Band Weight Loss
31/12/2011 by admin.
I am offering a 10% discount on this therapy for the month of January for the first 10 people to book. Book early to avoid disappointment.
Hypno Gastric Band Weight Loss is ground-breaking hypnotherapy treatment for those that need help with weight loss. It is totally safe and pain free. It is also much cheaper than having the actual gastric band operation without the complications that can happen as a result of the operation.
The procedure for the Hypno Gastric Band Weight Loss therapy is as follows:
- I will meet with you to determinate your suitability for the treatment. This would include weighing you to assess your Body Mass Index.
- If we agree to proceed, you would have 3-4 sessions with me.
- We would discuss your food cravings in order that we can work on these during the hypnotherapy.
- I will guide your mind through the process from consultation to anaesthetic to the operation.
- If required we would also conduct a band adjustment through hypnotherapy.
Visit my website for more information.
Please contact me to make an appointment for weight loss, confidence, motivation, stopping smoking, anxiety, phobias and many other issues.

Mike’s Food Intolerance including Yeast Intolerance
30/12/2011 by admin.
Well, as I reported earlier, Mike was struggling to adjust to a new diet. He was frustrated by lack of variety, getting bored of rice, missing dairy, bread and such likes. He has decided to continue with a ‘normal’ diet ignoring his food intolerances.
I doubt he will take another food intolerance test but it would be interesting, if he did, to see in 3 or 4 years time whether his intolerances have go worse or are impacting how he feels more than they are now. Yeast is a top score for him at 4 and, from my own experience, is a difficult one to get down. Despite my best efforts, the score of yeast for me which was 3, did not budge in a year. I am however, hanging on in there and still avoiding yeast products and the likes of mushrooms and sugar. Sugar is an ‘evil’ in any event for that’s for another time.

Stop Smoking Therapy
28/12/2011 by admin.
Hypnotherapy has been proven to be very successful at helping smokers become non-smokers.
My ’stop smoking therapy’ will help you understand the key problem areas when giving up smoking - in particular the ‘3-3-3′ Rule. Smoking has both pyschological and physical effects on the body, messing with your brain chemistry.
In normal circumstances you will attend 3 sessions in which you will gain new resources to eradicate the need for smoking.
With this therapy you will be given the resources to stop smoking and start living a healthier life. Afterall emphysema and lung cancer are debilitating and deadly diseases, both are which are linked to smoking. I know that most people believe that these are illnesses that happen to other people but then we all know someone who has suffered from cancer. Watch this You Tube video if you want to know what it is like to live with emphysema.
To book in for my ’stop smoking therapy’ or make an enquiry please contact me.
Plea to help Les Bourgs Hospice
22/12/2011 by admin.
The following plea was sent to me from one of my clients. As it is for such a good cause I have decided to post this to my blog.
This is a plea to help find Guernsey based volunteers to create and run a fun, short-term, Connie-themed Facebook page for the forthcoming Cash Cow Carton appeal for the rebuild of Les Bourgs Hospice. I know you may not be interested in helping to run a Facebook page personally, but am simply asking if you could find two minutes to have a quick read and think about forwarding it even further (in Guernsey) - including to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) teams/managers if applicable.
A team of us - including our wonderful key sponsors the GPO, the Guernsey Dairy, NatWest and G4S - are running a fundraising appeal for the rebuild of the new Les Bourgs Hospice. The Cash Cow Carton launches w/commencing Jan 30th Jan when all 25,500 households on the island will receive a Connie-themed, flat-packed 1/2 Litre milk carton with the post - along with a plea to fill it with loose change and return to any NatWest or GPO Branch within the next 6 months.
We’re putting together a Facebook team to keep Connie’s page creative, funny and lively and really encourage followers and engagement …..all with the goal of increasing filled carton return rates!
The commitment would be a couple of team meetings and up to about an hour a day for 2 separate weeks during the 6 month campaign.
If you know of anyone who is:
- a really keen Facebook user
- funny/creative/lively and a team player
- reliable - and will do what they commit to
- intelligent and discerning re appropriate content for all age groups and
- would enjoy helping the Hospice
We’d love to hear from them! Please could you forward this message onto them and ask them to contact Caleb (czunino@guernseypost.com).
If you don’t know anyone who fits the above - but are willing to forward onto other contacts or CSR teams we’d be equally grateful!
Thanks so much for reading, for forwarding - or for any help you may be able to offer.
HAPPY CHRISTMAS!
Gluten Intolerant - You don’t have to miss out on pudding
19/12/2011 by admin.
If you are like me…gluten intolerant but rather partial to Christmas pudding, my favourite thing about Christmas (apart from presents), then you don’t have to miss out. Village Bakery do an organic gluten-free, wheat-free, vegan and dairy-free Christmas pudding.
The pudding contains a total fruit content of 39% including dates, apricots and apple juice. It does contain nuts. The nutritional statistics are not too bad either with only 2.9% saturated fat. The majority of the carbohydrates (53.1%) are from sugars (38.7%) but much of this will be from fruit sugars.
Enjoy!
