I am delighted to be a fully trained, licensed and registered practitioner of Hypno-Band, the world's No.1 Gastric Band Hypnotherapy System. 

                     

 

                   
Now discover how I can help you to find renewed vigour for a better figure! 

There are three ways I can help you to successfully lose weight:

1.  For those with only a small quantity of weight to lose; for those for whom weight has recently become an issue, or those simply lacking in motivation, I offer sessions on an ad-hoc basis - as many or as few as you need, spaced as closely or as far apart as you choose.  These sessions are £85.00 each, and are of 2 to 3 hours' duration (depending on your requirements).

2.  For those whose excessive weight has been a life-long issue, who may have deep-seated reasons to carry that excess, or who may have yo-yo'd up and down the scales for years, there are two choices: my own WEIGHT MANAGEMENT COURSE and the HYPNO-BAND (HYPNOTIC GASTRIC BAND) COURSE, both of which are described below.

The amazingly-effective Hypno-Band Gastric Band is here

Perhaps you have considered surgery such as a Gastric Bypass, Stomach Stapling, or a Gastric Band, but have either been ineligible under NHS guidelines, or ruled it out as being either too risk-laden or too expensive.

If so, the answer to your prayers is right here, right now, in Plymouth.

I am thrilled to announce that I am now a fully trained and accredited specialist in the Hypno-Band, the world's No.1 Gastric Band Hypnotherapy System.  

What is the Hypno-Band system?

The Hypno-Band system is a hypnotherapy system designed to enable weight loss in the clinically obese, specifically those with a high Body Mass Index (BMI).

Who is it designed for?

The Hypno-Band system is designed for those who fall into the "Obese" range, which is people with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or more. The system has been successfully used with people who have a lower BMI i.e. less than 25, but this is at the discretion of the practitioner.  It is not recommended to use the system with people below the age of 16 years as children tend to have a different set of emotional issues relating to food and over-eating.

How does it work?

The Hypno-Band utilises a combination of suggestion, visualisation, and cognitive behavioural therapy techniques which, combined, helps you to make behavioural changes that enables your sustained weight loss.  By using the "Virtual Gastric Band" we convince you that you have undergone gastric band surgery, thereby enabling you to eat smaller portions and have your hunger satisfied earlier. The "gastric band" part of the process is a mechanism that helps you believe your stomach is smaller, with a considerably smaller capacity for food.

What are the steps involved?

The Hypno-Band system is designed to work over four sessions, plus an initial intake session, but this can be flexible dependent on your needs.  In the initial intake session an assessment is carried out to ascertain your suitability for the Hypno-Band system.  The Hypno-Band system is explained to you, a medical history is taken, and an intake form completed and signed. You must be fully committed to making significant lifestyle changes in order to be successful.  Please note that the Hypno-Band is not a "Magic Bullet" that will miraculously make you thin!  This is not something we "do to you", but rather, you must be prepared to change not only the way you eat, but the way you think about eating.

Is there more good news?

Unlike a surgically-fitted Gastric Band, the Hypno-Band is for life whereas most surgically-fitted gastric bands either fail or are rejected by the body, and within 10 years most will have been removed during another operation (at an additional risk and cost). 

The Hypno-Band, on the other hand, is 100% safe and risk-free: there is no need for anaesthetic, incisions, stitches, or a stay in hospital.  Consequently, there is no possibility of leakage, hernia, DVT, stroke, post-operative bleeding, burst sutures, compromised skin integrity (possibly leading to bed sores, ulcers, and cellulitis), or wound and/or port-site infection. 

Even better, after the Hypno-Band has been fitted, you will not experience the belching, projectile vomiting, nausea, faintness, constipation, erosion of tooth enamel (due to regular vomiting), loss of hair and poor skin that are the side effects many owners of a ‘real' gastric band suffer. 

Neither will you need to take any time off work to recover, thereby keeping your holiday allocation in tact and no lengthy period of sick leave will appear on your work record.

The Hypno-Band is also many, many times cheaper than the ‘real thing', making it greatly more attractive and affordable: a surgically-fitted gastric band, can cost between £5,000 and £10,000 (and a further £3,000-£4,000 if the band needs removing).  And unlike your average hospital or clinic, I will even give you a generous discount if you pay in advance, bringing the cost down even further.

Your investment in the Hypno-Band Course (including all of the Hypno-Band personal development tools and self hypnosis CDs) and the slimmer, fitter, healthier you is £575.00, payable in five equal instalments of £115.00 at the end of each session. 

*  However, if you pay for all five sessions in advance, I will give you a generous Early-Payment Discount of £75.00  *

Over the past 18-months there have been numerous stories on television and in the press of people losing huge quantities of fat with the aid of virtual Gastric Bands.   

You really could be one of them!

Weight Management Course

The extremely effective Weight Management Course I have developed and now use is tried and tested - not least on myself. At only 5'3", I used to weigh a hefty 18 stone 3lbs (I have the grim photos to prove it) - now I don't, and have maintained my weight reduction for twelve years.

The system I devised to successfully lose my unwanted excess weight is the same one I could be using with you, regularly updated and revised to ensure you benefit from the best I can offer.

The Course is absolutely not about dieting: we know, to our cost, that diets just don't work. My Course is primarily to do with addressing your attitude to food and eating, the underlying issues which cause you to over-eat, and giving yourself permission, at a subconscious level, to get rid of your excess weight.  You can then successfully move on from that point.

It is also about discovering how to eat healthily, and exercise, in way you can easily sustain in your daily life. This allows you to not only successfully lose your excess weight, but maintain that loss indefinitely.

Here is what Mrs Diane Taylor of Plympton, and Ms Zoe Steer of Ivybridge, say about my Weight Management course:

"I have tried every diet known to man and they all failed. Penny the Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist - and my determination - changed my life. The evidence is me: the happier and skinnier me!" (Diane)

"You were lovely, very kind, caring, non-judgmental and so easy to talk to! You made me feel very at ease and have shown me how to control my eating habits and not let the food control me. It has also helped me to look at other things differently too. I would hugely recommend you to my family/friends." (Zoe)

In addition to the obvious dietary and exercise advice, the Course incorporates the use of several very effective therapies: hypnotherapy, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), sometimes Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), and psychotherapy, together with some good old-fashioned common sense.

My Course consists of four lengthy sessions at fortnightly intervals, three of which are a combination of hypnotherapy and NLP, and the first of which is helping you to literally change your mind on a conscious level, before changing it on a subconscious level. The most important thing is that we discover the reason(s) why you not only gained the weight, but are keeping it on.

The use of hypnosis can help you discover the cause of your excess weight and deal with it, so you can get rid of the excess weight once and for all - and keep it off, permanently. And you also need to give yourself permission to get rid of the excess weight, which I know sounds odd when that's the one thing you really DO want to do!

Your investment in the Weight Management Course (including all of the personal development tools listed below) and the slimmer, fitter, healthier you is £440.00, payable in four equal instalments of £110.00 at the end of each session. 

*  However, if you pay for all four sessions in advance, I will give you a 10% early-payment discount of £44.00  *

 For Your Continuing Success:

1.     Each hypnotherapy session is digitally recorded and given to you either on a CD or as an mp3 dowload.  You can then use this recording as self-hypnosis whenever you want to reinforce the positive messages, ideas and changes made during your sessions.

2.     In addition to the one-to-one sessions of the Weight Management Course and the Hypno-Band Course, I provide a number of useful and practical tools including:

• a 30-page booklet* which includes a great deal of helpful information
• a Food & Mood Diary
• an Activity Log
• a handbag/wallet reminder note, so you can make wise choices whilst shopping at the supermarket
• an information sheet about the Compulsive Eating Cycle
• an information sheet about sugar
• a Measurement & Weight Chart
• an easy-to-use Portion Control Chart **
• a Tai-Chi DVD
• Metabolic Rate Calculator

I also offer for sale a range of Inner Talk subliminal suggestion CDs. These amazing CDs are about training your mental perception towards the positive and away from the negative in a totally effortless and sustainable way, using an amazing technology. The patented science behind Inner Talk operates quite simply on the understanding that to change current thinking and thus behaviour, you first have to change the information stored in the subconscious part of the mind. Hypnotherapy has been doing this for years, but Inner Talk works by using technology on a CD, and by using peripheral perception of the senses.

The Inner Talk CDs are priced at £22.99 RRP each. The titles available are:

*   Weight Loss Now
*   Using Metabolism to Melt Away Fat
*   Forever Thin, Fit and Healthy
*   Joy of Exercise and Keeping Fit
*   Walking for Health
*   I Love My Body
*   Junk food, Freedom From
*   Sugar, Freedom From
*   I Drink Water
*   Substance (Food) Abuse, Freedom From

*  The free 30-page booklet is a highly condensed version of my full 301-page book, Penny Samuels' ‘Ultimate How to Win at Weight Loss Personal Training Course'.  If you would like to purchase the full book, it is available from my Online Shop.

**  I have available, from my Online Shop, the excellent Diet Plate (Female, Male and Child versions) and Diet Bowl, which make portion control simplicity itself. 

Renew YOUR vigour for a better figure!
