Clients like Elaine benefit from help and can then take control of their routine, of the way they eat and what they eat. Other people may have psychological blocks going back to their childhood which will take a few more sessions to work through. Again, others, may need more ongoing help to maintain motivation, especially if a large amount of weight needs to be lost. In this case monthly "top-up" sessions can be useful.

Client Cheryl of Carmarthen came to see me as she didn't feel in control of her life. She lost 9lbs over the course of three sessions, losing 1-2lbs a week. She told me "I haven't been on a diet, and I'm not hungry at all. I eat no rubbish and think about what I eat. I am more relaxed and in control. My children and colleagues at work have noticed that I'm happier and more positive, even about things I can't do anything about. Before I would been un-nerved by aggressive people - now I can just be detached from my anxiety and deal with them. I feel very different. It's nothing like I expected. When we do trance work I know I'm in control of what's happening. I'm not asleep but feel in such a very comfortable state. I feel in control even when I could be quite vulnerable. The positive changes I've made have had beneficial effects on my family and my colleagues.”
