How does it work? Imagine yourself at your ideal healthy weight. Hypnosis supports that vision until it becomes real. Your mind opens to suggestions that will help you attain your goal. Positive thoughts, mindful actions, gentle breathing, and emotional flow allow you to release the past and stay rooted in the present. Repetition and rehearsal prepare you for the future. Hypnosis is effective because it prepares your mind to accept positive suggestions, the way a gardener prepares the soil before planting her seeds. 

​Imagine you are the gardener. You begin by digging deep, pulling out old roots and rocks while breaking up the dirt. You turn over the soil, bringing in oxygen so that helpful microorganisms in the earth can breathe. You always use the best garden tools. And all that garbage you transformed into sweet-smelling compost? You add it to the soil, because compost is the perfect food for garden soil. Then you carefully drop in your seeds. You know which plants make good companions, like tomato and basil, so you place them close together. Lots of sunshine, enough water, and occasional weeding are all that's needed for your plants to thrive. Food from this garden will nourish you for life. ​
