Got stress? Who doesn't?! Traffic, deadlines, the war, the economy, bills...and the list goes on. These are the things that cause us to trigger the "fight or flight" response in our bodies. While this response is innate and was originally designed for our survival, if left unchecked, this same response can be detrimental to our health. While stress cannot be eliminated from our lives, we can counter and mitigate its effects on our bodies by learning to deeply relax. While meditation seeks to quiet the mind, hypnosis directs the mind and body to a state of deep, peaceful, healthful relaxation which is one of the reasons it is especially helpful for people who have a difficult time relaxing on their own.

Come learn more and experience the benefits of hypnosis for Relaxation and Stress Management at 680 Moore Rd. in Avon Lake. This program includes handouts and an audio reinforcement CD. The experience has been described as "a spa treatment for body, mind, and spirit." Please call (440) 670-1518 to schedule this as an individual session at your convenience for only $100. (This program is also offered in a small group setting. Please check back for dates - TBA.)





Are you fed up with the yo-yo effect of fad diets and the restricition of calorie counting? Would you prefer to learn to eat healthy, enjoy physical activity, and nurture yourself in the process of dropping excess body weight? Try the mind, body, spirit approach of the Nurture U Weight Management Program. This is not a diet or a quick fix, but rather a healthy lifestyle that includes relaxation as a key component.

The program will be held on Tuesdays from 6-7:30 p.m. at 680 Moore Road in Avon Lake. The cost is only $195 and includes handouts and a reinforcement audio CD. 

Please call (440) 670-1518 for further information or to register. Space is limited.

Does this program work? Just ask Kim G. of North Ridgeville:

“Over the past few years, I had tried so hard to lose weight with various diets and even diet pills. I thought that I had tried it all and was discouraged that nothing seemed to help. Although I was a bit skeptical to try a program that included hypnosis, I am so glad that I did. The Nurture U Weight Management Program helped create an entirely different mind-set about healthy eating and portion control. As a result, I dropped 15 pounds in the first 2 months! Another great thing about the program that I didn’t expect is that I am so much more relaxed with my family, friends, and co-workers. People definitely notice and comment on all the positive changes I have made. It’s awesome! The only bad thing is that now none of my clothes fit and I need to go shopping!”

 

Choose to Be Relaxed and Smoke-free!

Are you sick and tired of the struggle to stop smoking? Have you tried "The Patch" or nicotine gum and failed? You are not alone! I was shocked to read that the success rate for those methods is quite low, about 16% and 18%. In fact, the "cold turkey" method of quitting smoking beat out both of those interventions with a 22% success rate. Not too impressive!

The health benefits of choosing to be a nonsmoker are immediate and long-lasting. Why rely on going "cold turkey" when you could enlist the power of your subconscious mind through hypnosis? If you are ready to make the change, hypnosis can help. Work with your brain, not against it, to make the change both faster and easier.

There are basically 2 approaches to using hypnosis for smoking cessation: the single session or the multiple session approach. Both have proven to be effective. However, many people prefer the 3 session approach which is what I now recommend to my clients. The reason is simple: smoking is a habit that has many triggers and associations. The 3 session approach allows for more of an emphasis on deleting the desire to smoke as well as releasing the triggers. This allows you to work even more effectively with the brain in making permanent change without the discomfort and the cravings.

The 3 session program includes handouts and 2 audio reinforcement CDs. The cost is only $295 for all 3 individual sessions. Call Mary Ellen at (440) 670-1518 for more information or to schedule an appointment. (This program is also offered to small groups. Please check back for dates - TBA.)
