Weight Loss & Management

There are hundreds of diets and weight reduction programs to choose from, but few of those programs address the root of the problem. As the old saying goes: “It isn’’t what you are eating; it’s what is eating you.”

Hypnosis is a very effective tool in helping you work through any inappropriate emotional connections with food and process issues related to weight management. Many of the issues we have around weight are deeply embedded in our subconscious minds. Some of us grew up believing that food could be used as a reward. (Clean your plate and you will get dessert.) Some people feel that food gives them comfort. (This piece of chocolate cake will make you feel better.) Others turn to eating when they feel stressed or anxious.

These habits can be changed! With the guidance of a hypnotist, you can decide how to change these patterns or beliefs in a way that feels comfortable for you.

If you are ready to make changes in your life around diet, exercise and lifestyle, hypnosis can be a very powerful tool in helping you manage your weight and regain control of your life.

Personal Growth

Many people turn to hypnosis when they find themselves stuck in life, having a difficult time landing the right job or career, finding the right partner in relationships, needing assistance in releasing a negative person or relationship or even just generating enough motivation to move forward in life. Other people are looking to explore spiritual growth or work on issues like anger, fear or anxiety.

Hypnosis can be a valuable tool when working on personal growth. Hypnosis can often be used to identify and process blocks that prevent us from moving forward in life. When someone feels stuck in their career, is unhappy with personal relationships or is having difficulty in finding direction in their life, the use of hypnosis can often help uncover the events or beliefs that are holding them back.

Spiritual Growth

It isn't unusual for people to struggle on their spiritual path. The use of hypnosis won't tell anyone what they should do; however, it can often open doors in what becomes a path of discovery.

Career

Many people struggle to move forward with their career or direction in life because they have experienced moments in the past where they have lost their confidence or self-esteem. When those "moments" are identified and closure or processing takes place, it can often give the client a sense of empowerment, clarify their true calling and help restore the passion.

Relationships

Sometimes issues such as anger, control, motivation or worthiness can keep us from finding happiness in relationships. In many cases there are dysfunctional relationship patterns or dynamics that are being repeated. It can be very beneficial to gain insight into these patterns, disconnect from negative people and work on our own energy to change the people we attract into our lives.

Addressing Fears

Are you afraid to fly?

Do you have a fear of public speaking?

Are you uncomfortable in confined places?

Do you fear heights, dentists, doctors, hospitals, driving, confined places, or swimming in deep water?

Hypnosis is an effective way of dealing with issues that make life uncomfortable, and letting go of fear can be an important part of stress management. Through the use of hypnosis, you can address the issues that may be creating roadblocks to your success.

The Healthy Heart Program

Heart disease has become a major health issue in this country. Health concerns related to heart disease such as high cholesterol, elevated levels of triglycerides, high blood pressure, a racing or irregular heartbeat, and excessive stress are areas that can be addressed through diet, exercise, stress reduction, and medical care.

Lifestyle changes such as inadequate exercise, sugar addiction, unhealthy eating habits, portion sizes, emotional eating, low self-esteem, high-stress levels, and a lack of motivation can be transformed through the use of hypnosis.  Whether your goal is weight loss or simply changing to a healthier lifestyle, hypnosis can be a very effective tool.

What is The Healthy Heart Program?

The Healthy Heart Program is a wellness program designed to help you implement and maintain the lifestyle changes necessary to promote a healthy heart. These can be lifestyle changes you’’ve decided to make on your own or changes recommended by your physician.

How does the Healthy Heart Program Work?

Even though it is widely understood that changes around things such as diet, exercise, and stress reduction are vital to our health, it is often difficult to make these changes on our own. Often there are emotional issues around eating and exercise that need to be processed to make these changes. Many of these blocks occur subconsciously and are deeply ingrained as fears, beliefs, habits, and unhealthy behavioral patterns. Hypnosis is a way of dealing with these issues.

Hypnosis has come to be widely accepted as a powerful technique for dealing with issues such as weight loss, exercise, smoking cessation, reducing stress, eliminating unhealthy habits, and processing emotions. The Healthy Heart Program combines these techniques to support creating and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Promote Fertility

Several thousand years ago, the Chinese observed that women who had difficulty conceiving often had an underlying emotional issue preventing conception. Modern studies have confirmed that psychological and emotional blocks can create infertility issues. There may be subconscious fears around pregnancy, labor, childbirth, hospitals, terminations, medical treatments, motherhood, loss of independence or individuality, questions about their husband's ability to be a good father, unresolved dysfunctional patterns from a woman’s childhood, or even the fear that a new baby might be a threat to the relationship with her spouse.

As a result of those emotional blocks and because we live in such stressful times, it isn’t uncommon for those issues to stimulate our sympathetic nervous system and place us in survival mode, which takes us out of reproductive mode. The goal of working with hypnosis for fertility is to let go of the emotion blocks, teach the client how to relax the mind and body, and help move the client back into a reproductive dynamic. That is why the Hypnosis to Promote Fertility program is so important.

You can learn more about this program by going to the Fertility page and/or checking out some of the articles about fertility on the Articles page.

HypnoBirthing ®

The HypnoBirthing Advantage

HypnoBirthing, also known as the Mongan Method, is a relaxing, stress-free method of birthing based on the belief that all babies should come into the world in a gentle, calm manner. Through a comprehensive training program of deep relaxation, breathing exercises, self-hypnosis, and birthing education, a mother learns the necessary tools to birth her baby in a way that is more comfortable and peaceful. HypnoBirthing returns a woman to the art of birthing allows her to summon her natural birthing instincts and to birth her baby with safety and ease.

HypnoBirthing often eliminates the need for chemical anesthesia, episiotomies, and other medical interventions. By deeply relaxing all of the muscles involved in the birthing process, the labor and delivery time are often significantly reduced. During the HypnoBirthing process, self-hypnosis is used to reach a deep state of relaxation and redirected focus. The mother is conversant, in good spirits, and fully in control, but her body and the muscles involved in the birthing process are deeply relaxed.

Jim Schwartz received his training in HypnoBirthing directly from Marie Mongan, the founder of the HypnoBirthing program. Through his extensive work with infertility clients, Jim created and developed the “Hypnosis to Promote Fertility” program, a comprehensive program unlike any other in the country. The success of the fertility program created the need to add a safe and natural birthing program to Jim’’s practice.

What you will learn

Overcoming Addiction & Smoking

The health benefits of becoming a non-smoker are ubiquitous, but it is one of the toughest addictions to overcome. The use of hypnosis for smoking cessation is highly effective because it works directly with the subconscious mind to override the cravings caused by nicotine. Other smoking cessation programs are expensive and often unsuccessful because they don't adequately address the physical, mental, and emotional issues associated with smoking.

That is where hypnosis has the advantage. It not only addresses the cravings, but it strengthens the willpower and tackles the mental challenge that comes with kicking the habit. At the Rocky Mountain Hypnotherapy Center, Board Certified Hypnotist, James Schwartz has received specialized training in smoking cessation methods which he has incorporated within his stop-smoking program.

Benefits of becoming a non-smoker:

  • Improved cardiac performance

  • Improved respiratory and circulatory functions

  • More energetic

  • Healthier & longer life

  • Lowered blood pressure

  • Increased blood-oxygen

  • Increased endurance
