One of my earliest clients, Ms. Mary, had spent decades battling her weight. Despite trying numerous diets and exercise routines, she was stuck in a cycle of temporary success followed by frustration. When she came to me, she was ready for an approach that honored her whole self: body, mind, and spirit.

Ms. Mary was spiritually inclined and understood that her struggles were deeper than food or exercise. During our first hypnotherapy session, we uncovered a profound trauma from her childhood—when she was an infant, her mother was killed in a violent home invasion. Ms. Mary, still a baby, lay beside her mother's lifeless body for over an hour before being found. This trauma had been buried in her subconscious for decades, but her body remembered. Her weight had become a protective shield against the pain and fear carried from that moment.

As we worked through this trauma, something remarkable happened—Ms. Mary began to feel lighter, both emotionally and physically. Her body was finally catching up with her inner healing. A month and a half later, she had lost 35 pounds, without changing her diet or exercise routine.

Her story shows that weight loss isn’t just about physical changes—it’s about healing emotional and spiritual wounds. By addressing the deeper layers, we can create lasting transformation, body, mind, and spirit.
