Where The Hypno-Band Weight Loss Program began

The Hypno-Band, virtual gastric band hypnosis program was first created and developed by John Maclean. While assisting his many clients for weight loss therapy he realised that for clients who had a high Body Mass Index (BMI) regular weight loss hypnotherapy was not enough. Lorna Jackson also noticed this similarity with her own clients and so became the first hypnotherapist to offer this amazing program in Brisbane in 2011.

How the Program Works

The HYPNO-BAND program comprises 4 sessions of gastric band hypnotherapy with Lorna, plus recordings to play at home which are used for reinforcement. At the first session Lorna does a full dietry and medical history plus an initial assessment of your lifestyle. Also during this first session on your journey to losing weight Lorna will be taking you into perhaps your first experience of hypnosis and the fantastic feelings of relaxation and calmness which results from being hypnotized.

In the second session you will encounter the HYPNO-BAND and we will begin the process of having the virtual gastric band fitted. In subsequent sessions the HYPNO-BAND virtual gastric band process will be reinforced and you will learn different and motivating ways of eating less and looking forward to exercising. During these sessions any adjustments to the virtual gastric band can be made. Following the sessions you can take time out during your day to use your recordings to back-up and reinforce the work you have done.

The HYPNO-BAND system provides you with the tools and ability to lose weight, and maintain a healthier body.

The key component to the Hypno-Band program is YOU and will only work providing YOU are committed and motivated to change. Being committed to losing weight means adopting and balancing new changes into your lifestyle, selecting healthy nutritious food, eating smaller regular meals, curbing bad food choices and exercising regularly. By having an open mind and a willingness to take part in your Hypno-Band sessions you can achieve personal change at a deep level in your sub-conscious mind. This is the part of the mind which governs your motivations, perceptions and beliefs.

The Hypno-Band Process changes and rejuvenates the inner you.

Its not just about changing what you eat and motivating you to exercise, this program changes how you feel about yourself and that can take time. Most weight loss programs don’t address the underlying emotional issues of the person. Eating certain foods can become a habit, but food can also be a psychological problem.

What is the one major assumption that sets people up for weight loss failure. If you think about it? What is your main focus when you go on a new diet? It’s on weight loss!

Perhaps you may need to halt obsessive thinking about losing weight and focus on what you really want instead.

That is:

• Becoming slim, healthy and fit!

• Feeling full of energy and self-confidence!

• Reaching your ideal weight and maintain it!

People think that weight loss is only about diet and exercise and they forget one of the most important elements – THE MIND. Unless you take control of your mind there is no way you are going to get your food intake and exercise routine correct in the long term, no matter how hard you try.

In order to take excess weight off and keep it off you have to exercise both the body and the mind, you will be shown how simple it is to do this when you come for your weekly sessions at a HypnoResults Clinic.

Just as the role of a personal fitness trainer at a gym is to get the bodies muscles in shape. Lornas role as a hypnotherapist is that of a personal coach and trainer for the muscles of your mind, a sort of mind mechanic, your partner that will assist and support you to achieve your weight loss goals. There will come a time when you will be able to use all the equipment in your mind on your own.

This is a program based on simple success and countless people just like you have been gaining control of their weight with the help of clinical hypnotherapy. You will enjoy noticing your eating habits improving and you will feel good about yourself .

Hypnosis Can Multiply Your Chances of Successful Weight Loss By More Than 30!

60 females, at least 20% of whom were overweight were involved in a clinical study, where treatments included group hypnosis, individual hypnosis and maintenance suggestions. An average of 7.7kgs was lost by those that were hypnotised, compared to just 0.5lbs (225grams) in the control group who were not hypnotised. (Source: Cochrane, Gordon; Friesen, J. (1986). Hypnotherapy in weight loss treatment Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 54, 489-492)

Celebrities use hypnotherapy, Lily Allen has dropped three dress sizes to a size 8 and Lily credits hypnotherapy for her weight loss. And she says she’s shed the pounds by having her brain reprogrammed to exercise more and remove the desire to eat fattening foods. Lily said: “After the hypnotism, I want to go to the gym every day, otherwise I feel really bad. I just want to get more toned and healthy. I feel really good about everything at the moment – I’ve never been happier.”

This program has a very high success rate with our clients because we have done a lot of research into the weight loss industry over the years and understand what it takes to lose weight and keep it off. This led Lorna to searching out the very best in hypnotherapy weight loss programs, she knows she has come up with a program that works providing clients follow her advice.

Hypnotherapy is not a magic wand where weight loss is concerned, but it will help you to feel more motivated to eat healthy and to exercise regularly. Exercise is a very important part of weight loss and the person who exercise regularly will keep the weight off permanently. Lorna recommends to all her clients that they begin to attend a gym at least twice a week and if finances allow to get a personal trainer to help get you fiurther motivated.

Seize the opportunity right now to change your body and your life for the better… you deserve to be healthy and happy and have the healthy body you desire do you not?

I first heard about Lorna approx 12months ago. Not one to hurry in my decision making, sceptical and in truth quite frightened to try hypnosis I contacted Lorna. Lorna arrange for me to see her the following Saturday to chat about what I hoped Hypnosis would do for me. I explained that my past held some upsetting memories and poor choices and as I am heading towards my 50 birthday my future was not looking so bright with a life of joint pain, medication and many health issues as a result of my current weight. This is not what I wanted I wanted to go to Borneo! Why Borneo you might ask, I wanted to volunteer with the Orangutans ( a LIFE experience) something I have wanted to do for many years, however with my current weight and health not ever a possibility. Lorna was wonderful, on hearing I was going on a 12 night cruise ( ALL that FOOD) my appointments were made prior to my departure day in 8weeks time. The Cruise – WOW as I travelled down the buffet line my plate was full of mixed lettuce, baby spinach, green peas and fresh fruit. OMG all I wanted to eat was fresh, healthy, live, real, unprocessed food. The pastries looked lovely, however I could not imagine having one, I did NOT want to eat any of them! I lost weight on the cruise! I feel amazing! I still have a long way to go to reach my vision of a healthy me, the amazing thing is I have absolutely no doubt that I will reach this goal of a healthier slimmer me. Thanks Lorna, I’ll let you know when I book my flight to Borneo. Linda , Brisbane Qld.

I had a very unhealthy relationship with food. After a rough couple of years I’d learnt to use food to comfort myself and it had really begun to show. I felt as though I couldn’t go a day without raiding the vending machine at work and frequently ate take-away rather than cook my own meals. I felt depressed about my weight and had lost my self-confidence. Even though I was only slightly overweight, I couldn’t seem to diet…it was like my mind was terrified of letting go of those emotional crutches. It finally got to a stage where I knew I had to change and I recognised that for whatever reason, I just couldn’t do it by myself. That’s when I saw a TV program on the benefits of hypnotism for weight loss.

I was a little sceptical (I’d tried at-home hypnosis with no success) so I decided that if Lorna could get me to eat bananas then I would know the hypnosis had worked. I have hated bananas my whole life and even the thought of trying to eat one made me feel physically sick. Well, after that first session I ate at least 3 bananas a day. I couldn’t get enough of them! I had discovered this amazing yummy food and for the first 2 weeks I just revelled in the texture and flavour of them. My family could not believe it and I was so thankful that the tiny suggestion have taken root.

It is now two months since my last session and I look and feel fantastic! I reached my goal weight the week after the last session and I’ve continued to lose weight since. But it’s not the weight loss that I am most grateful for – that was just a symptom of what was happening in my head. I am truly grateful for the work Lorna did with me emotionally. I’m only young but I had become so bogged down by layers of emotional baggage and unhelpful thought-patterns that I didn’t feel free to be the woman I always was underneath all of that. Now I find it easy to eat well and look after myself and I am drawn to make fresh, healthy choices with food. Whenever I feel stressed now, I don’t turn to food to deal with it and that has made so much difference. I urge you to try hypnosis if you’re feeling overwhelmed by your relationship with food. Go with an open mind and the weight will just fall off as your new life of healthy eating and exercise begins. KB – Brisbane.

I had some issues with my weight that I wanted to address. After the first session I achieved the most wonderful results. I used to overeat at basically all meals. I would also eat when I was not hungry. I was not grossly overweight but felt I needed to lose some weight for my health. I have now stopped over eating and I have learnt to stop eating before I am full and now I am left feeling satisfied. I dont eat unless I am hungry and find that I do not think about or look to food at every opportunity. The changes have made me feel so happy and confident with my self and I have even lost that little bit of weight that I needed to! Alexis, Brisbane.

I first went to Lorna in February of 2010 for weight loss. I went to a total of 3 sessions and since have lost around 8 kilos. I didnt happen straight away but after a month or so after the last session, things started to change. I became more positive, more inclined to exercise and more motivated. I have gone from a size 16 to a size 12!!! Im very happy with the result and always felt really relaxed and calm after a session. I have told many colleagues about Lorna since!! Rita, Brisbane.

For many, many years I have been obese, not really through any mental influence of depression, anxiety etc., really through over indulgence. I love food and wine and did not deny myself anything I wanted to eat or drink. In September 2008 I decided I needed to regain some of my physical fitness and so looked for hypnotherapy as a weight loss solution. I found your website, Lorna, made an appointment and from there everything changed. I thought to be hypnotised I would become unaware of the outside world. I didn’t find that happened and although I was completely relaxed by you (didn’t move in the chair for 45 mins) , I did find my thoughts occasionally wandering before returning to the job in hand and I could hear things going on outside the room. Lorna assured me that this was how hypnotherapy worked and I left my first session with a resolve to lose weight. In only 4 months I have lost 16 kg!

I am so surprised how motivated I have been and how the cravings for sweet, fatty foods have ceased. For many years I always opened a bottle of wine while preparing the evening meal and this is no longer part of my life. I have no difficulty in eating natural, healthy fruit and vegetables with a small amount of protein and have completely given up processed food and most carbohydrates. Not being very keen about exercise, I am surprised how addicted I have become and need to be physically active at every opportunity. My balance and agility is improving and I am well on the way to achieving my goals in that area.

I firmly believe all this motivation, (and I am not usually a person who continues projects,) is due to my two sessions with Lorna. I have found the journey so amazingly easy with no cravings or feelings of deprivation. Something I would not have believed possible. I do have the occasional feeling of hunger but this is so easily satisfied with a glass of water. I read that when we are hungry, we are often actually thirsty. If you are considering Lorna as a hypnotherapist, look no further, you will not be disappointed whatever life changes you are contemplating. Have a session with her and it will happen. Gail, Esk, QLD
