Woman loses four stone – through hypnosis
A woman told how she shed four stones in weight after she was hypnotised – into believing she’d had a gastric band fitted.
Mother-of-two Emma Eveleigh-Anderton, 36, paid £960 for four sessions with a specialist hypnotherapist after her weight ballooned to 13st.
The treatment involved her being put ‘under’ and talked through every step of the medical procedure as if she were in an operating theatre.
She was told that her stomach was the size of a golf ball – and now feels full if she tries to eat anything other than a small portion of food.
Emma’s weight dropped to nine stone as a result and her dress size fell from a size 18 to an eight in just six months.
Yesterday Marion, of Stoke, Coventry, said: ”I used to sit down after work and order takeaways most evenings. I just got lazy.
”I tried diets, appetite suppression pills and will power but none of them worked in the long term.
”I was going through a lot of stress at work which didn’t help my eating habits at all.
”It was the stress that I originally went to see a hypnotherapists about but I ended up having the ‘gastric band’ fitted. It feels great.”
Emma was running an exhibition business with her husband Darren, 42, when she started to over-eat.
Her weight ballooned to 13 stone when she had her daughters Antonia, aged seven, and Alice, aged six.
She lived on takeaways, chocolates, cakes, ready meals and large breakfasts.
But Emma was shocked when she injured her knee and doctors told her that if she did not lose weight she might not recover.
A friend recommended hypnotherapist Russell Hemmings who had recently launched a ‘hypno-band service’.
Emma booked a 45-minute ‘vital surgery’ session in last August where she was hypnotised into believing that she’d had the gastric band operation.
The sessions took place in a relaxing environment while Emma lay back in a comfortable chair and was hypnotised.
Using a combination of hypnotherapy and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, she was taken on a ‘virtual tour’ through the ‘operation’.
Therapist Russell also used in-depth guided imagery and visualisation to fit an imaginary gastric band around the stomach, forming a pouch the size of a golf ball.
After four sessions of the treatment – which is 100 per cent safe because it eliminates the risks of general anaesthetic, DVT and MRSA – Emma started to feel a tightening sensation in her stomach.
She lost 3lb in a week after and ate salad, fruit, grilled fish and started jogging.
Emma added: ”It was as if I was having the operation, except I was in an office rather than a theatre.
”After the first session I felt hopeful. But after the second I really felt positive and much more controlled about my eating.
”It has actually re-educated my mind. I was starting to feel fuller quicker and eating much less.
”I don’t have to try to eat this way, it’s just become a habit for me now.
”I’ve lost four stone in weight. I’m happier, confident and now I’m a great role model for my children.”
Incredibly, Emma now jogs for 30 minutes every morning and has ran a half-marathon and triathlon.
She added: ”I get my kids involved in sports too – lots of tennis, swimming, gymnastics and riding around on bikes. And my husband’s pleased to see me happier and fitter.
”It was nice to have a whole new wardrobe and not having that tight feeling all the time.
”I found it particularly liberating having to buy smaller knickers and bras.”
Emma visited her hypnotherapist six months later and she had lost so much weight that he did not recognise her.
Russell said: ”She walked into the clinic and I remember thinking she was a new client making an appointment.
”She said ‘you don’t recognize me do you, Russ?’ I really didn’t. The change in her has been amazing.”

Weight Loss Hypnotherapy does work. I can say from my own experience hypnotherapy for weight loss does really work, i know that because i have had it done after struggling with my weight for many years.
I must admit before I heard a radio broadcast on the BBC with Claire Hegarty who was invited on the show for being an leading expert in Weight loss hypnotherapy, i would have said to anyone who suggested that i was hypnotized for weight loss, not to be so stupid. But after struggling with my weight for many years and where my weight went all the way up to 22 stone, i listened to the show after becoming despearate and found it very interesting.
I had tried everything to lose weight, i went on loads of diets, i went to my doctor time and time again and he was not interested, i even asked if i could be given a pill that doctors give out for weight loss but he refused so i was now desperate and would have tried anything.
After listening to claire hegarty on the show and listening to what she had to say about hypnotherapy, i decided to contact her through her website, now you have to understand at this time i was still not believing hypnotherapy could help you lose weight but i did want to know more.
She explained all about hypnotherapy and weight loss and how it works to help you lose weight and i was very interested and started to feel maybe their is light at the end of the tunnel, maybe i can get back my ideal weight. I agreed to meet her and after getting on well with her i became her client. And i have to say, that i am so happy that i am now four stone lighter and still losing weight.
So what i have to say to you is, do research by all means into weight loss hypnosis, but it does work and do go to an expert and see the diference it will make to your life as it has made a huge difference to my life but make sure that they are an expert. Just because they do hypnotherapy, it does not mean they are an expert in hypnotherapy weight loss

I think Diane about is self promoting and should allow the therapist who did the work to enjoy the benifits rather than piggy back on the back of other peoples success i have seen this repeated over the net from Claire Hegerty many times
