Weight loss can be one of the most satisfying areas of work for the hypnotist. It can also be one of the most intricate areas of hypnotic work. Guiding a person into hypnosis and simply telling them they will become slim, trim and attractive can work in rare cases, but it usually requires much more than that.
A Skilled Hypnotist Can Get Results
Reaching and maintaining a healthy weight is a constant battle for many. Some people find a feeling of well-being in the eating process. Helping a person obtain their ideal weight with hypnotism is what most seasoned hypnotists are known for. Unless a person's overweight condition is related to medical problems, hypnosis can be very successful, provided the hypnotist has a firm knowledge of how to match the correct technique to each client.
As people, of course we are not all the same. One hypnotic approach will not work for everyone. This is one reason why the success rate for the large group hypnosis weight loss programs at the local hotels is extremely low. A skilled hypnotist is trained in many hypnotic approaches to the challenge and will be able to match each individual to the most successful approach giving each person the greatest potential for success.
What to Expect From Your Hypnotist
In general, you can expect multiple hypnosis sessions with future follow-up sessions as needed. Your hypnotist can also teach you self-hypnosis so you can start learning how to help yourself.
Through the use of hypnosis you can take back the part of your life that has been out of control. This is a great feeling and it can be yours.
When you are looking for help losing weight, choose a hypnotist who is well-versed in hypnotism and hypnotic weight control approaches. Also, make sure that you always receive your hypnotist's full attention to you as a client during your hypnosis sessions, and that the hypnosis you receive is delivered live by your hypnotist. At Balanced Life Hypnosis you can expect your hypnosis sessions to be 100% live and individualized for your needs. We don't just stick you in a room to listen to a recording the way some other places do.
What Our Weight Loss Clients Are Saying

I got a lot of encouragement out of this program. Linda did a lot of work on my self-confidence, self-esteem, portion control, mind over matter. The home audios are very helpful for when I am on my own also. I have been overweight all my life but now I can see the light at the end of the tunnel: thank you Linda so much.

Bridgeport, NY -
I have been trying to lose weight for 10 years - since menopause. I tried diets, gyms, spas, everything. A couple of pounds would come off and then find their way back to my body. I decided to try hypnotism - not thinking it would work but having no other alternatives. A psychologist friend suggested Linda. From the first session I changed my eating habits and exercise more. Linda is more than a hypnotist. She helped me figure out triggers to eating and solutions so I don't eat. Thanks Linda. I love my new shape.

Tully, NY -
After my first session I immediately felt results - I no longer wanted or craved sugar or soda. Empty calorie foods did not entice me. By the time my last session with Linda came, my energy was tripling daily, my clothes were getting loose, and my whole outlook on food, eating, and enjoying life had improved tenfold. I am so pleased with my results and even my family remarks on the tremendous difference they see.

Hypnosis has helped me change not just my eating habits, but also how I think about myself. It has helped me realize that I am in control of my own life. Going through the sessions has been a great and very helpful experience.

I don't feel the urge to snack. Amazing feeling. This has to be a lifestyle for me, and I know I can do this.

My experience with Linda has been great. The hypnosis really brought me out of a depressive state to be more aware of my choices. And to make better choices for me to progress on my weight loss journey. Our conversations and the sharing of experiences have been very informative.

I came to Linda to help me with weight loss through hypnosis and was able to become serious about healthy eating and exercising. Linda also helped me to focus on healthy living. An added benefit was learning how to breathe and become calm and relaxed.

Linda's hypnosis sessions are an excellent combination of in-depth analysis of the problem, recommended solutions, and powerful hypnotic suggestions. Linda is intuitive, motivating, understanding, patient and informative. Her style of hypnosis is trance-like and she can really make powerful suggestions that help overcome your issue.
P. R., Accounting Manager
Baldwinsville, NY -
When I first met Linda I was feeling rather defeated due to my constant struggle to lose weight. My initial goal was a weight loss of 15-25 pounds over the course of our sessions. It is now my next to last session and I find myself falling short of my weight loss goal, but I found instead, a renewed excitement to becoming active - which in turn has helped me feel happier and more accepting of my body image. I still believe I will reach my weight loss goal - but it may take a few more weeks than expected. I will succeed.
J. S., Registered Nurse -
I started my first session of hypnosis on Dec 9th and weighed in at 195 lbs. Then my second session on Dec 14th weighed in at 189 lbs. Third session Dec 23rd weighed in at 185 lbs. I am completely amazed and delighted at this process of getting healthy and feeling better and not feeling deprived at all for the first time. I am motivated and looking forward to future sessions. I absolutely love the audio: it starts my day off feeling positive, confident and successful. Then ends my day into a releaxed state of mind and body.

Linda Gilmore is a kind and effective listener. In our busy days there often are times when we ignore ourselves - which leads to problems such as not addressing weight issues, smoking issues or underlying reasons why the behaviors continue. Hypnosis is an excellent means to uncover problems and Linda Gilmore is an excellent practitioner.

Fulton, NY -
I first met Linda Gilmore close to 8 years ago when I was 286 pounds. When I walked into that office and began sessions with Linda I knew right away we had formed a bond and better yet a person I could trust and had confidence in.
Less than a year later and a loss of 96 pounds, I was very excited to say the least. Linda did more than mentor me and assist, she listened, suggested, and taught me how to change many things in my everyday routine.
I stopped attending sessions after a couple years and still had no problem keeping the weight off.
Just recently I was again struggling with a few extra pounds I had gained. I contacted Linda who met with me at my convenience to discuss Balanced Life Hypnosis and how she could help me again.
After my first session with Linda I was once again excited and energized to get my weight under control.
I am now on track and very excited. Linda has provided me more helpful information, and some tools to help me get back and maintain a comfortable weight. Linda with Balanced Life Hypnosis is my coach, mentor, and mostly a friend.

Linda is simply the best! Her caring nature and willingness to listen are what allowed her to meet my needs. Hypnosis is nothing to be afraid of and she takes the time to answer any questions. Linda has changed my life for the better. I tried every "fad" and "crash" diet only to gain more weight back. Since trying hypnosis, I've lost over 50 lbs. (and counting) with an end goal of 140 lbs. I have totally modified my eating habits for a full 10 months and will continue to stay the course. One of the exciting things I also did was a past life regression. This answered a great deal of question about what makes me tick. This past winter was the first one in 25 years that I did not gain any weight. Give her a try and stick with her suggestions and you are bound for success. My family, friends and coworkers all have noticed a dramatic change in me for the better. Without a doubt, she has improved my whole life.

Camden, NY -
I started the program 8 wks ago. I no longer crave food that are not nutritious and on my plan of meals/snacks to eat. I have already lost 14 lbs. since starting and have lowered my blood pressure by 10 points. The best part is not struggling with cravings for high sugar and high fat foods. Also, the confidence I have that, with the support of staying with the program, I will be able to continue eating healthfully to reach my goal.
B. W., Rehabilitation Counselor
Canastota, NY -
Since beginning hypnosis for weight loss, I have experienced general increases in well-being. My clothes fit better, some are even too big. I feel great, have so much more energy and with almost no effort I look forward to exercising and feel energized and happy afterward. My thinking about food has completely changed. I don't feel like I'm missing anything by eating healthy food. I used to concentrate on what I could not have, now I think about what I will eat and enjoy. The program has helped me to change how I think about food, exercise and I feel terrific.
S. P., Resources & Reimbursement Agent
Syracuse, NY -
I have completed 5 sessions so far and feel great! Not only have my exercising and eating habits improved, but also my attitude and outlook on my life. I find myself realizing that working out and eating healthy foods are not just something I am suppose to be doing in the program to lose weight, but have become part of my daily routine and long life habits. I am slowly but surely losing weight and feeling my clothes get bigger. Although the weight loss is a slow process, it is one that you can feel working and see and keep the results long into the future!
A. C., Financial Analyst

I have lost a total of 25 lbs so far. I feel great! I have got my energy level back. I have lost 2 pants sizes which makes me feel wonderful. I do not crave the junk food, nor want it any more. Also have less stress too!

I came wanting to lose weight, learn to like myself, be comfortable in my own skin. In just the first few weeks I saw so many "positive" changes in myself. I quickly began to stop all negative image thoughts and negative thoughts about not being able to lose weight, but the most amazing part is for the first time in my life, I like me!!!
K. B., Electrical Maintenance Mechanic
Oswego, NY -
Weight loss and exercise on my own wasn't working for me. My brother-in-law referred me. I came ready to become a new me. In the three weeks since I started I've lost one pant/shirt size. I sleep better. And most of all, I enjoy increased physical activity. My meal plan allows me to do my own cooking (with portion control) and I'm not hungry. I enjoy the CD's - it's a good way to relax and reinforce my goals. Look out world - the new me will be Awesome!
B. P., Teacher's Aide

Since my start date just over 3 months, I have lost 41 pounds and changed my life. I now have control over eating and drinking. I just couldn't get on track but with this program it really has made a difference. I now look forward to weighing myself. Eating healthier is living healthier and that is where I am at.
M. P., Customer Service
Clay, NY -
I can't believe how much better I feel. I am moving all of the time and not tiring as easily. People are starting to ask me what are you doing, you look so good and younger. I only wish I would have heard about hypnosis years ago. I am so excited that I never have to find a new diet again because this is for life...
M. C., Teaching Assistant
Fulton, NY -
Hypnosis has changed the way I view food. Before, sweets and junk food use to entice me, but now I look at it and wonder what I ever saw in it. I can walk by the bakery and even care to stop and look at the selection. I know that occupying my mind with things other than food is a good thing. I still feel hungry from time to time, but I reach for healthier foods to satisfy my cravings. We keep more fruits and vegetables in the house then we have in the past. I would recommend hypnosis to anyone.
E. S., Supervisor
Erieville, NY -
My experience participating in this weight loss program has been very beneficial in multiple contexts. I was able to stop gaining weight, began losing weight, started eating healthy, and began exercising. Also beneficial was learning to manage stress resulting in an increased sense of well-being. I would definitely recommend this program to others. Lastly, I will continue to practice the skills I have learned thus far and am motivated to gain better health. And, I would also add that my counselor (hypnotist) was always supportive and encouraging.
