Hypnotherapy
A pathway to empowerment and weight loss success.
Heal the subconscious.
Hypnotherapy is the pathway to empowerment and weight loss success. It is here that the blocks to a healthy nourishing relationship with self and food exist. It is the subconscious mind that drives the emotional eating, the 2pm candy bar and the 6pm fast food run. Research has demonstrated that hypnotherapy is an effective treatment for weight loss.
How Hypnotherapy Works for Weight Loss
During a hypnotherapy session, a trained therapist typically guides the individual into a relaxed state (or trance), where the mind becomes more open to suggestions and change. The therapist may help the person address issues like:
- Emotional eating: Helping individuals manage stress, anxiety, or negative emotions that
lead to poor food choices - Behavior modification: Encouraging healthier eating habits, such as eating smaller
portions, craving healthy foods, or reducing sugar intake. - Changing beliefs: Helping the individual develop a more positive self-image and better
relationship with food and their body. - Building motivation: Enhancing self-discipline and reinforcing the desire to maintain a
healthy weight.
Potential Benefits of Hypnotherapy
for Weight Loss
- Mindset Shift: Hypnotherapy helps individuals adopt a more positive and empowered
mindset, which can lead to lasting weight loss. - Improved Self-Control: It can boost self-control around food, reduce cravings, and
make it easier to stick to a healthy eating plan. - Addressing Emotional Triggers: It can help uncover and address emotional triggers
for overeating, leading to more mindful and intentional eating habits. - Reduced Stress: Hypnotherapy often helps reduce stress and anxiety, which can be
key contributors to emotional eating. - Increased Motivation: It may enhance an individual’s motivation to make lasting
lifestyle changes, such as exercising regularly and choosing healthier foods.
Is Hypnotherapy Effective for Weight Loss?
The effectiveness of hypnotherapy for weight loss varies from person to person. Research suggests it can be helpful, especially when combined with other lifestyle changes, such as a balanced diet and regular exercise. Some studies have shown that individuals who undergo hypnotherapy may experience more significant and sustained weight loss compared to those who only rely on traditional dieting methods.
Hypnotherapy for weight loss can be an effective tool for changing deeply ingrained behaviors and thought patterns related to eating and body image. It’s not a substitute for other aspects of a healthy lifestyle, but when combined with proper nutrition, exercise, and psychological support, it may help many people achieve and maintain their weight loss goals. If you’re considering hypnotherapy, it may be worth trying if you’re open to exploring the psychological and emotional aspects of weight management.
Hypnotherapy FAQ
What should I expect?
A deeply relaxed state where you are always in control. You will be in a deep state of self-awareness. I describe it as going inward. Your eyes will be closed and you will be able to hear my voice but you will not be aware of your surroundings.
You will begin to access your inner world to:
- Release stuck emotions in your body (sadness, anger, hopelessness) surrounding
unhealthy food behaviors. - Give your body a voice
- Process the stuck emotion and other lifetime experiences with it
- Heal what needs to be healed
- Make new conclusions and decisions
A recording will be made after the session of what you want your life to look like going forward. This is transformational. I encourage clients to listen to this once a day.

Client Testimonials
“Hypnotherapy has been a game changer for me. I have learned to love myself, forgive myself and have more clarity about my needs. It has empowered me to say , “No” when I need to. During the session I faced some childhood trauma and began healing. Hypnotherapy reprogrammed my thoughts and how I respond to all situations. I am not as reactive and co-dependent. I have lost weight and make better choices with food. I am so grateful to Deb for opening this door to this therapy and look forward to more sessions as I continue to heal and discover myself.”
“Hypnotherapy with Deborah has been the best thing I ever did. It helped me to get in touch with the root cause of the problems that have been plaguing me all my life. It brought me in touch with those feelings and patterns in a way that nothing else had helped. I had tried everything from aromatherapy to Zen and nothing had given me the relief that I needed from my did from my baggage and the patterns that were instilled in me as a child. The Process was not only painless it was liberating and freeing and my life has completely turned around after just 2 sessions I cannot say enough for Deb and the wonderful work that she is doing.”
“For the last two years I have been seeking medical care to determine the root cause of my weight gain. Two years ago I put on thirty pounds in forty days. After countless appointments and other diagnostic tests no practice could give me the answer. I did not want to stop there. My search led me to a hypnotherapy appointment with Debra McCurtain. My appointment was a hour or so long. It was painless and informative. I will be honest. I was a bit skeptic. However Deb is gracious and gentle when navigating this session to truly take you out of yourself and look further in. So many things have transpired for me since. I have lost weight but most importantly, I have a new appreciation for myself. The relationship that I am building with myself and my relationship with food. Deb showed my what is important internally for a women (me) who has struggled with self-esteem and body image issues my entire life. Don’t wait for “last resort” call Deb. Take back your joy! Thank you Deb.”
