How many times have you experienced diets that didn't work? Most of us have lost motivation to follow the diet before the end of the second week. Why because we're using will power which is the mental equivalent of adrenaline. Will power is a tool designed to initiate action not sustain it. When we use will power to lose weight or make other changes that required sustained long term effort will power is the wrong tool for the job which is why we fail more often than not.
Other diets work initially only to cease working after a number of months. With other we actually achieve our goal - only 6 months to a year later we weigh more than we did before we started the diet.
This is especially true for women because we gain weight from the bottom up and lose it from the top down. If we don't take off all the weight we need to we just start gaining from the bottom up again.
It's time to stop doing the same thing and expecting different results.
Hypnosis is a totally different way of controlling eating habits and weight.
What's different, you ask?
- Traditional diets force us to use will power, which is the mental equivalent of adrenaline, and is designed to get us off the dime, not for sustained long term use. We're using the wrong tool for the job which is why we fail time and time again when we try to use will power for something that requires long-term sustained change like losing weight.
Hypnosis allows you to make change from the inside out and requires very little conscious effort and certainly no will power.
- Traditional diets don't address the emotional side of eating. From the beginning of our lives we're taught to use food to stuff, create or celebrate our emotions. Diets don't teach us how to undo or address that learning.
Hypnosis does. Hypnosis helps you understand what emotion you're eating to suppress or create, helps your mind come up with healthier ways of dealing with that emotion or emotions and finally, separates food from emotions. With hypnosis, food becomes physiological fuel for the body only!
- When we employ a traditional diet we get our nutrition, hydration and exercise information from an outside source - a source that you don't know and one that doesn't know you or your body's unique requirements.
With hypnosis you get your nutrition, hydration and exercise from the source - that finely tuned machine that is your body. A machine that knows exactly what it needs for nutrition, hydration, exercise & sleep at any given moment for ideal health.
Hypnosis enables you to tap into your body's built in signals for hunger, thirst, exercise and sleep as well as creating a whole new relationship with your body. One that is partnering rather than adversarial. One where your body literally shares with you what it needs for nutrition and weight loss throughout the day. No schedules to follow, no weights, no measurements & best of all very little, if any, effort.
Hypnosis allows you to return to your natural state of eating - you eat when you're physiologically hungry, you drink when you're thirsty, your body tells you what it needs, you simply stop when you're full. It really is as simple as that.
Testimonials:
"For many years I have been on the weight loss yo-yo never managing to sustain any permanent weight loss. I would feel guilty about my inability to use will power in the face of chocolate, late night snacking or uncontrollable urges to eat anything that wasnąt nailed down. When I heard Lisa interviewed on the radio, I had hope. Then a friend casually mentioned that she knew someone who had been to Lisa for hypnosis for weight loss and had had wonderful success. Perhaps this was the avenue for me as well.
At my first appointment I was very impressed with Lisa's demeanor. She made me comfortable, elicited my story, and gave me all the background information that I needed about hypnosis to enable me to attend to the session with ease. After the session I was tired but empowered. I felt relieved to be off the weight loss treadmill. During the following weeks and sessions I amazed myself. It was such a relief to be free of the cravings, to be able to make healthy choices. When I attended a buffet dinner, I was able to eat little bits rather than pile my plate high with food that I really didnąt want. Other times when I went out for a meal, I was able to share or even save half my food for another time.I wasnąt concerned with the scale, rather I was happy to be unburdened by guilt or urges. This was a freedom that I had not experienced for a long, long time. I am so happy that I chose to try hypnosis with Lisa."

"Normally I eat a pint of Ben and Jerry's with no problem in 15 seconds. I got the ice cream, started eating it, and for the first time in my whole entire life - I DID NOT FINISH IT. Do you have any idea how cool this? Do you have any idea how good I feel about this? You are the coolest - you put the "OO" in cool. Once again, my sincere thanks for helping me. - Bill
"I wanted to pass along just how effective the sessions have been so far. To date, I have lost 15 pounds. More importantly, and much more remarkable, for the first time in my life I am able to see junk food, candy, sweets , etc. and honestly not have the burning passion of desire to eat them. I have finally broken out of this vicious cycle of binging and addiction to food. Your kind work is assisting me in that lifestyle change that I have longed for, and I cannot truly lavish enough praise to you for your help. I wish I could reach through the computer and hug you!!!" - Mark
"You warned me about setting my sights too low. I easily lost the 20lbs I wanted; now I'm ready for more!" - Diana

Smoking Cessation
Program: 2 highly personalized one-on-one sessions plus a support CD to listen to at home.
Session Schedule:
Session 1, Week 1, 2 hours, quit smoking
Session 2, Week 2, 1-1 1/2 hours, reinforce
Fee: $350 total for both sessions
We all know how difficult it is to change a habit - never mind deal with an addiction. Smoking is an addiction on many levels - physiological, chemical, mental & emotional.
Have you tried using will power, only to fail a day or two later? A nicotine substitute that you then became addicted to or, worse yet, the second you got off you were right back where you started - smoking cigarettes.
Hypnosis is a whole new way to win the battle against cigarettes. One that The American Cancer Society endorses as one of the most effective smoking cessation tools available.
So, how does it work?
- Hypnosis allows you to understand why you smoke. Is it just a habit that's turned into an addiction - or are you trying to numb some emotions in the process?
- It allows you to fundamentally understand the damage cigarettes do to
your body and set your mind to a state of self-care that is completely inconsistent with smoking or poisoning yourself in any way.
- All habits start as conscious thought. You decided to try that first cigarette. Hypnosis allows you to go back and change that initial thought - essentially erasing the habit at its origin.
- Hypnosis literally allows you to change your identity from a smoker to a non-smoker. As a non-smoker you don't think about or crave cigarettes. You're not bothered - aside from the disgusting smell - when people smoke around you. You are a non-smoker with the mentality of a non-smoker. Free at last.
- Hypnosis enables you to boost your immune system helping you flush
toxins from your body at a rapid clip so you experience minimal if any side effects.
Testimonials:
"I'm canceling my second session. I just know I don't need it. 'I am a non-smoker and will remain a non-smoker for the rest of my life'. I never thought it was going to be possible, never mind this easy!"
Mike from West Hartford

Hypnosis for Children
Number of Sessions: Typically 1-3 sessions 1 per week until the issue is resolved
Session Fee: $200.00 for the first 1 hour session; $150.00 for any subsequent sessions
Many children are enduring difficulties which can be very easily helped with hypnosis. For example, self-esteem, self-confidence, concentration, study habits, fears & phobias, trauma/divorce recovery*, bedwetting*, asthma*, ADD* and ADHD* just to name a few.
Because children are in the state of hypnosis for a large part of their day and their "programming" is much fresher than that of an adult change comes easily to them through hypnosis. Hypnosis gives children the direction they need and the ability to feel good about themselves and the world around them.
Imagine your child happy and confident, with a true understanding of their unique gifts and talents. A child who feels so good about him or herself that they're unaffected by the peer and societal pressures that surround them.
If your child is struggling with an issue, you sense they're not as happy as you'd like them to be or that they're not living up to their full potential call (860) 693 6448 to schedule an appointment.
* A psychological or medical referral is required for this issue.
Testimonials:
"Thanks to you my son is a changed child. His happiness and self-confidence has positively affected the whole family. Thank you so much - you've helped us all." - Theresa
"I thought of you over the holidays as I was very thankful for you and all the changes you've helped us make in our family life."

Divorce/Grief Recovery
Number of Sessions: The number of sessions depends on the individual situation and the level of recovery required and could range anywhere from 1-5 sessions.
Fee: $200.00 for the first 2 hour session; $150.00 for any subsequent sessions
Each time we have conversation at the conscious level with someone we also have conversation at the subconscious level. Only our subconscious minds interpret things very literally with none of the filters that the conscious mind views conversations/experiences through. And, our subconscious mind stores all our memories in the greatest detail.
Using hypnosis, which allows access to all the information stored at the subconscious level, we have the ability to more clearly understand and resolve many issues with the people currently in our lives or those from our past. Once we truly understand where people are coming from, how their behaviors have mostly to do with them and how they're feeling about themselves and their lives and very little to do with us we can then forgive - which is extremely liberating and has the ability to change relationships on many levels.
Testimonials:
"Today really is the first day of the rest of my life. I can say with total confidence that I am finally over my Ex. It is amazing what a little forgiveness (OK a lot of forgiveness) can do. Thank you for guiding the way." - Tony

Self-Hypnosis
Sessions: One Session
Fee: $200.00 includes an instructional CD to practice with at home.
As hypnosis is the natural learning state of your mind - and one that your mind passes through on a regular basis - you can actually learn to enter the state on your own - to start putting the power of your sub-conscious mind to work for you.
Imagine learning how to fill your conscious mind with positive suggestions for change, clicking into the state of hypnosis in less than 30 seconds and allowing those positive suggestions to start taking effect at the subconscious level. Imagine having the most powerful tool for change in your tool box for the rest of your life! Wherever and whenever you need it. Allowing you to always been in control.
"Just so you know, I am doing great and things are going great. You really played an important role in helping me to become a much happier person and get over the emotional trauma I suffered in my life, and for that I will be forever grateful."

Habits/Phobias
Sessions Required: 1-3 highly personalized one-on-one sessions
Session Schedule:
Session 1, 2 hours
Session 2 or 3, if and as needed weekly until issue is
resolved
Fee: $200.00 for the first session; $150.00 for subsequent sessions
Hypnosis is such a powerful tool that most habits, such as nail biting, picking, hair pulling, teeth grinding and phobias such as flying, snakes, spiders, heights etc. can be addressed in one to three sessions.
Again, all habits start as a conscious decision. Hypnosis simply allows your mind to return to that original decision and make one that healthier for you thereby alleviating the habit. Phobias are much the same. Your mind at a specific moment in time decided to fear something. Hypnosis allows you to change your mind - and change your life.
Testimonials:
"I had to write to let you know that I had an amazing day at work. No Panic!!!!! Yeah! It was wonderful. I was me for the first time in months. Thank you for your help!

Do you believe in Past Lives or better yet, that we have lives between our past lives where we evaluate our souls path and gain understanding as to the life lessons we're intended to be learning?
