Hypnotherapy and Ear Acupuncture have both been used for many years to help with weight loss, and used in combination may  enhance the effects of a sensible weight loss programme.

A deep tissue massage designed to target the areas most prone to stress and tension. Ideal if you spend a lot of time at a desk, or suffer with pain or tension in the back, neck or shoulder areas – or just want a de-stressing treatment. Using essential oils chosen specifically for their therapeutic effects, and aromas. Can also be followed by acupuncture if you are suffering acute or chronic pain.

My weight management hypnotherapy programme runs over 5-6 sessions, and is bespoke to your needs.  Hypnotherapy can be used alone, or in combination with acupuncture to enhance the results.

Weight management may be enhanced by using certain acupuncture points on the body and the ear, using a combination of fine needles and tiny gold plated beads which you can massage gently to stimulate the acupressure points in-between sessions. Each appointment is around 45 mins to 1 hour, and this can be combined with hypnotherapy to enhance the results.

Price quoted is for acupuncture used as a stand alone treatment.

Dry cupping techniques are used to stimulate the body’s healing processes, and is is a treatment favoured by many Hollywood stars eg Gwyneth Paltrow. I use both traditional fire cupping techniques and also the modern pump suction cups. This is followed by application of aromatherapy essential oil blend to the back, and the cups are re-applied over the oil – moving the suction cups over the back muscles creates a deep tissue massage which is very good for back pain and tension.

Hypnotherapy and Ear acupuncture used in combination can help you to lose weight when you are following a sensible weight management programme. 

Using very fine needles, a small number of points on the body are used, together with auricular (ear) therapy. Over a programme of around 6 sessions,  a protocol of body and ear points are used at the beginning of the session, and the needles remain in place while you have hypnotherapy. When the hypnotherapy session has ended, tiny gold beads can be applied to the ear points, so that you can massage them to provide acupressure. 

Each combined session will last around one hour to 75 mins.
