6 week hypnosis weight loss program

Posted on 18 January 2012 by

“The workshops were brilliant! So much wonderful information and strategies, and as usual Silke is brilliant. I have the utmost respect and admiration for her dedication to helping others. Love your work Silke” – Maryanne Field, Brisbane (Oct 2011)

Many people are unaware of the extraordinary success hypnosis can have for weight loss. Clinical research documented that when hypnosis is added to weight loss plans weight loss increased by an average of 97% during treatment and even more importantly increased the effectiveness post treatment plan by over 146%. The benefits of hypnosis are immediate plus they increase over time. (Journal Of Consulting and Clinical Psychology 1996)

The media has been incredibly favourable in it’s assessment of Hypnosis for weight loss and the reason is obvious. It is safe, effective and provides for many a genuine alternative because Hypnosis is a very powerful vehicle for change. Allowing the unconscious mind to aid in modifying behaviours for a healthier outcome is a tool that can be incredibly useful.

“I have found my portion sizes a lot smaller and I am definitely making better food choices, so that is great! Plus I have commenced walking again and am doing other exercise too! So I am definitely moving towards my goals now!” – Leslie Anne, Brisbane (Oct 2011)

Getting rid of that weight and living healthier may have been a New years Resolution so now just imagine how good you feel knowing you have followed through with it!

What this is not: This is not a magic pill. There are no diets recommended here. Nor is this a lose 10 kilos in 6 weeks 97% guaranteed. This is also not the grand unified theory and approach to weight loss. No snake oil…
What this is: Get a great relaxing group hypnosis session weekly so you can truly connect at the deepest level with your goal, assisting you in reprogramming your mind. Learn how to get rid of weight without feeling deprived because this holistic approach starts within your own mind. Plus a bunch of tools and techniques that you can use for yourself…

  • Set realistic goals and stick to them
  • Learn the 4 golden rules of naturally thin people
  • Learn how to re-programme your mind to eat smaller portion sizes & be fuller sooner
  • Learn a great craving buster technique
  •  Change old habits into more beneficial ones
  • Learn how to easily motivate yourself for exercise
  • 6 powerful hypnosis and mind programming sessions

Enjoy this life changing experience with others who all have the same goal for a fraction of the cost of individual sessions ($249 in total instead of $139 for each individual session).

I have assisted more people than I can remember to achieve satisfaction, increased self esteem and renewed health and wellbeing.

The price of only $249 is a total bargain I know but I am passionate about assisting people achieve their goals and live happier and healthier lives. Places are strictly limited so please send an email to silke@australianhypnotherapycentre.com.au or call 0415 940 162 to book your spot now.

Stop Smoking in 1 or in 3 sessions?

Posted on 16 August 2011 by

by Silke Herwald, Hypnotherapist

Did you know that Mark Knopfler, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Samuel L Jackson & Winona Ryder, Drew Barrymore, and Ellen Degeneres all stopped smoking with hypnosis?

I am sure you have seen ads along the lines of “stop smoking in one session 98% guaranteed” or “guaranteed effortless weight loss”…

Well, is it really that simple? It can be but more often then not it is not just a behaviour or a habit but most people who smoke actually consider themselves to be a smoker… Hence it is not only the behaviour that needs to change but also the identity so that the person can be a happy, healthy non smoker. And as a non smoker people don’t think of cravings, urges or the next smoke because that is just not something a nonsmoker does…

By the way in my younger years I used to call the “96% – 99% guaranteed” people to ask for 100 case studies from 5 to 10 years ago as to be sure that 96 or 99 people where still smoke free… That was always a bit of fun…

Why did I do it?
Well here is the thing: until this day I regularly get desperate phone calls from people who attended a 1 session stop smoking or effortless weight loss session… And now these poor people are desperate for help because they have uncontrollable habits or they put on x kilos. Or, or, or… The possibilities are endless when we don’t take care of the underlying issue first.
Hence for me it is paramount to assist you stop smoking at an identity level and give you tools to deal with the underlying things in a more resourceful way first. Hence I only do stop smoking in 3 sessions.

With NLP and modern hypnosis making changes becomes so much easier than you could have ever imagined… On your first session you also get a recording based on years and years of experience and research for you to listen at home to help you get your changes even faster.

If you want to become a happy healthy non smoker with ease or know someone who does then give reception a call on 3367 1950 so you can get going on this…

Your in happiness and wellbeing

Practitioner of the month: Silke Herwald (Modern hypnosis & NLP)

Why can Silke help you make smooth changes in all aspects of your life?

The way Silke works is in actual fact very simple, so let me ask you a question: If you had a splinter in your finger you would care more about getting it out as quickly and easily than wanting to know where it came from right? If your answer is yes then continue reading as this is certainly for you.

Lets assume the splinter is the problem and if you could have solved that problem consciously with all the skill and knowledge you have then you would have solved it by now, right? So this is where Einstein once again was light years ahead when he said “We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them”. Hence Einstein used hypnosis all the time on himself whenever he solved problems and you can too…

If you imagine a ship then your conscious mind is represented by the captain of the ship and your subconscious mind by the sailors, engines and other systems and machinery. Then imagine the captain setting the course and giving commands. If however the rudder hasn’t been oiled in ages and is simply too rusted to move or the engines are old and tired and can’t produce enough power to get there or the communication system is broken so the sailors simply didn’t get the command loud and clear…

Would it make sense for you to have a chat to the sailors, oil the rudder and establish new and better ways of communication? You know you might just get the changes you want quickly and easily…

During a session with Silke you will experience NLP, modern hypnosis and other forms of rapid change work. Oh and yes you will have fun too…

What is NLP?

Neuro Linguistic Programming is a collection of great processes that produce results. Basically through the things you say (linguistic) the well trained and skillful NLP Practitioner knows what happens at a neurological level, meaning which cells are firing in order for your problem to exist. And of course there are many many NLP processes to help other cells fire instead or the brain to yield so that your sailors can actually do what YOU, the captain, wants.

What is modern hypnosis?

Modern hypnosis is a combination clinical hypnotherapy, classic hypnosis and the new wave of hypnotists utilising whatever works for the client.

So what is hypnosis? It’s a very relaxed, safe and beautiful state much like daydreaming… And no you will  not become unconscious and yes you can still hear and feel things around you and you will be remembering everything afterwards. It’s a lot less spooky than the media tried to make you believe, so sorry to disappoint you here…

Modern hypnosis’ trademark is a totally non judgemental and open approach.

Basically another one of Einstein’s great quotes sums up what Silke does and how she works very nicely: “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.”

Do you think it is time to get your subconscious mind involved now to make the smooth change you want and allow your whole life to become a whole lot easier now… Then call now to book your first appointment and look forward to enjoying the results of your smooth changes now.

Ananda, Paddington: I went to Silke when I was feeling down and like I couldn’t make any changes. I had been holding onto an issue for 20 years and just needed to clear it. I had one session with Silke and came out not sure if it had made any difference but feeling amazing – happy, relaxed and calm. A couple of days later I realised I hadn’t thougth about the issue at all and so I just kept a watching brief on my thoughts and feelings over the next few weeks and months and I realised I was free. I have been back to see Silke a couple of time since but never had to readdress the original issue. Love your work Silke.

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

Without ever having talked to you this is not easy to answer because it is very individual and depends largely on the issue at hand and your own unique circumstances. Generally speaking most people get great results with 2 or 3 sessions, others need 6 and very rarely do I have clients who need 10 sessions in total. Compared to traditional Psychology this is still an extraordinarily efficient, cost and time saving result.

How much does it cost?

A session is $139 (rebates for most private health funds are available) and I also offer breakthrough sessions: 4 hours for $ 450.
Silke requires upfront payment for all of her appointments.

You can remember that the unique combination of NLP and hypnotherapy is the most effective way to provide you with lasting changes in minimum time frames. Hence you can now imagine just how much you are actually saving by doing it this way. The easy way…

All forms of payment are accepted by Sowelu reception.

What if I need to cancel a session?

If you chose not to attend a session I would kindly ask you to give at least 24 hours notice. If you cancel more than once on short notice the full session fees applies. This is because Silke prepares your session, sets the time aside for you and still has costs to meet.

1. Please call to book your first hypnotherapy and NLP appointment.

2. All sessions must be paid upfront. It’s just like if you were to book a hotel, tickets to a show, flights, a course etc

3. For any questions you may have please call or send me an email to silke@australianhypnotherapycentre.com.au

4. Once you book in for your hypnosis session you also agree to the below cancellation policy.

Testimonials

Ellie, Noosa: Extremely depressed and anxious I decided I could no longer cope without help. I made an appointment to see my GP after a brief discussion about various depression drugs, he mentioned a hypnotherapist lady who may be able to offer an alternative to depression and anxiety drugs. I openly agreed to see this hypnotherapist for hypnosis. My first contact with Silke made me feel instantly comfortable, She was very warm and welcoming – to me a very good start to overcome depression and anxiety.

Silke very gently prompted me to tell my story, all the time taking notes and still very focused on me. I was an absolute mess and crying for the first 20 minutes. Somehow Silke calmed me down before we proceeded, something she managed to do with ease. Gently talking to me and encouraging me to look at my life in a different way, the way I want, has completely changed how I feel and my outlook regarding all those formerly depressive issues. For me there is no more guilt and no more walking on eggshells.

We have worked on a number of issues, many of which Silke gently drew out of me during the sessions, something she is extremely skilled in. I can not recommend Silke, her hypnosis and her hypnotherapy highly enough! I am an entirely different person to the one who first walked in that door. I no longer feel guilty, anxious or depressed. If I have a moment where I might regress and have doubts or feel anxious I just need to close my eyes and visualise to hear Silke’s gentle voice and my confidence in handling certain situations becomes a lot calmer.

Linda W, Noosa Heads: I am extremely grateful to Silke in teaching me how to cope and take control of my own life in just 3 sessions. Silke Herwald is a very caring young woman who has certainly found her true vocation in hypnotherapy. Thank you so much! Kind regards”

Claudia: I can’t believe what you have done for me! I am finally free from the almost constant abdominal pain. Even better I can eat now what I want and when I want without having to worry whether or not that might trigger bloating and bowel pain  again. I feel sooo much better in so many ways now!!! Thank you!

L.V.: After all these years of trying out different ailments and products and diets with all the high hopes and disappointments I was so over it…  I must say I was a bit suspicious when I first got in touch with The AIBSC. But oh my, if I had only known just how wonderful the treatment is and how amazing I started to feel straight away I wished I had done it much earlier.  But now I am just glad to have my health back and a happy normal life!

Julie, Caloundra, Sunshine Coast: “A friend of mine thought I was nuts for going to get this treatment to overcome my IBS and my anxiety and panic around it, but hey now I am free from IBS! Thank you!!!” Tom M, Cooroy: “This truly is an astonishing outcome. Thank you!”

Debbie L. Marrochydore, Sunshine Coast: “I am IBS free! I am free! Free from IBS!!! So happy to live a normal life, now that I finally know what a normal life actually is. Thank you so much!”

John, Brisbane: In the past pushy or needy customers who took out their anger and frustration out on me always spun me out and ruined my day, I actually always wanted to hide and run away whenever I felt it coming. Now that doesn’t happen at all any more. If I have ‘one of those’ customers I serve them, help them and it just doesn’t stress me at all any more… It’s very surprising how easy it now is to manage stress and just get on happily with the rest of my day, when previously I would have been upset or angry about it for the rest of the day and even worse would have taken it with me into my free time. I am so much happier after your hypnosis and the way I handle these previously stressful situations now. Hypnotherapy truly is amazing. Thank you!!

Glenda, Coolum: I recently had the amazing experience of a Job interview hypnosis and NLP session with Silke Herwald. Silke opened me up to exploring positive thought patterns and broadened my ideas on using different techniques to communicate more effectively with others. Once I understood more about communication I was able to break down barriers which were holding me back from moving towards my goals. I am pleased to say that following this NLP and Hypnosis session, I really did move forward and achieve the goals I had put forward and I have no doubt that my achievement was made incredibly easy thanks to the knowledge and skills I acquired in my hypnosis and NLP session with Silke.

If you are looking for a person to get you back on track, then I would highly recommend you take the time to experience what Silke has to offer.
