Creating Quicker, Easier, Lasting Change
thru' the Power of Your Mind
Before I started working with Lisa, I had been overweight for several years and felt uncomfortable, self-conscious and unhealthy. I had tried all of the usual methods you see and ready about (Weight Watchers, Body for Life, South Beach) with only short-term success. Nothing I tried was lasting. I was watching the news one evening when a segment on Lisa aired where she was helping one of the news anchors quit and grew curious. It took almost a year before I finally called and made an appointment with Lisa, and I’m very happy I did. I was overweight for at least 6 years. I felt like I was walking in molasses. I was sluggish and it was hard to do the things I wanted to. I tried to lose weight with diet pills and everything else, but nothing helped me. My next step would have been gastric bypass, but I didn’t want to go that route. I decided to try hypnosis. I figured I had nothing to lose. I noticed a change in my behaviors immediately after my first hypnosis session. I didn’t buy the foods I used to—candy, ice cream, and cake. But from the first hypnosis session all that stopped. I began to eat normally. This has been super easy! I just don’t want to eat junk anymore. I don’t eat between meals. I feel in control now. I've lost 35 pounds, my blood sugar has gone down over 100 points, my cholesterol and blood pressure have also decreased. Everything has improved! Lisa has been so great and I really appreciate her help! I lost 18 pounds in 3 months with hypnosis. Today, at age 77, I am still healthy and fit! I’m living proof that you can lose weight at any age and keep it off! My weight loss was relatively easy. I was very happy. I still think this is one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself. I come back to Lisa from time to time for a “boost” of positive thoughts and I have my old recordings to pop in when I need to keep focused on staying healthy. Thank you for your invaluable help with my weight loss program. Your professionalism and genuine compassionate kindness has endeared you deeply to me. I hope you especially like the “butterfly” gift I made for you as a ‘thank you’ for the butterfly/cocoon parable you shared with me as an analogy to my rocky childhood. Looking forward to many more informative and life-changing classes and personal sessions in the new year. J. Turner, Virginia Beach, VA January 2005 Thanks to Lisa's help, I lost 40 pounds in 6 months; I'm back in my size 34 jeans! My cholesterol went from 214 to 145 and I feel better than I have in years. My family is eating better now, too. My weight loss has been a journey, not a destination. It's just my way of life now. I am 65 years old and have been overweight since my college days. I have tried lots of diets and twice have lost 50 pounds--only to put it all back on. I decided to try hypnosis after my cardiologist suggested surgery; I didn’t want to have to resort to surgery. I started with Lisa October 2006 with a goal of losing 65 lbs. by Christmas 2007. Although I was skeptical at first, I was determined to make this work. I have struggled with weight loss issues for many years, as well as trying to change my lifestyle to a healthier one, and MAINTAIN it. Lisa recently worked with me on this, and I have been very pleased with the results so far. First, she talked with me and asked questions in order to learn more about what I consider important for myself, and what my problem areas are, then did a hypnosis session geared to those answers. She made a hypnosis CD specifically for my needs, which I listen to frequently for reinforcement, especially if I feel tempted to slip back to old habits. It is very relaxing and keeps me focused. I considered myself addicted to chocolate and diet soda, but I have totally eliminated them from my life, and am comfortable with that. Before coming to Lisa, I had been ill and house-bound, gaining weight and craving sweets. My medications kept me lethargic and I was very depressed. I was this way for 3 years. It even hurt to try to exercise. Lisa has a knack for knowing how to “lead you” to the answer without “telling you” the answer. Lisa helped me lose 80+ pounds. I am very grateful for all the encouragement she provided during this time. I would recommend Lisa to anyone interested in or needing hypnotherapy/coaching to achieve greater self-esteem, self-fulfillment, and a better lifestyle. Barb Ovsak, South Mills, NC October 2004
Lisa explained to me the methods she would be using to help me make a lasting change in the way I was thinking about food. With Lisa’s coaching and hypnosis, I noticed a change in my behavior within the very first week. I was consuming more water, eating healthier and exercising more frequently. I was able to lose an average of 3 pounds per week -- 10 pounds the first month -- and confident this time it would last.
Through Lisa’s sessions, the urges to snack reduced significantly and I now exercise more than I’d like to think about. In fact, my wife wishes I would cut back a bit! The surprising thing was, these changes came rather easily with Lisa’s help. Self-will now plays a lesser role. It has created a desire emanating from my subconscious to eat, exercise, and live a healthier lifestyle.
I am now maintaining my weight within my ideal range and feel wonderful! I have lost a total of 15-20 pounds and 2-3 inches in my waist. Hypnosis has changed the way I feel about eating and life in general. I now have an attitude of "eat to live" vs. "live to eat." My self-confidence has improved immensely and I know THIS time it will be a permanent change. I highly recommend Lisa to anyone who wants to make PERMANENT, LASTING changes in their lives.

Like many people, I had been struggling with weight issues for most of my life. I loved eating and severely lacked self-control and discipline when it came to any diet I would try. I had come to realize that food was an escape for me.
I heard about Lisa and her hypnosis methods being successful with others so I decided I would give her a try--it couldn’t hurt and I knew I needed to change my mindset about food but I just wasn’t able to do so on my own.
Upon my first visit with her, she listened intently to all I had to say and observed even my body language as I would talk about food and my love for it. She helped me draw out my own insight into why I hadn’t been able to succeed in my goal to lose weight. Based on my answers, she was able to personalize the sessions just for me. That, along with knowing what techniques to use, has helped me change my entire way of thinking about food. I feel the difference Lisa made in my life was worth so much more than what I had paid her!
She has been able to change my entire thought patterns not only about food, but the types and portions I eat as well. I’m no longer emotionally attached! Not only that, she helped me significantly change my general habit of never completing the projects I would start!
I highly recommend anyone who wishes to regain control of their lives and rid themselves of their bad habits to see Lisa. I am a new man--so much so that I have several friends who are now considering hypnosis with Lisa!
My goal is to be down to 185 within the next 10-12 months. I KNOW THIS time I WILL make it, thanks to you! Thanks for opening new doors for me, for helping me take back my own body and live a healthier lifestyle. I couldn’t have done it without you!

Lisa...
I am celebrating the "fitting" of my skinny(er) jeans. NOT my "skinny" jeans... but getting closer... all thanks to YOUR wonderful CD. I can't wait to see you in December! BTW... NOT ONE piece of Halloween candy has crossed my lips! Not one! I haven't even missed it!! I am breaking my sugar "addiction" one powerful thought at a time! Thank you. Michelle Pippin, Moyock, NC 11/5/09
UPDATE: 11/17/08
I am almost10 pounds down... feeling great and not at all deprived.... I simply know I will be successful with this LAST weight loss attempt... It has seemed so natural.. simple... powerful... My whole perspective has changed dramatically. Thank YOU!!
UPDATE: 11/28/08
UPDATE: Maintained PERFECT commitment to health goals - even when faced with the GLUTTONY of Thanksgiving. 11.6 pounds down!!! I am thrilled!!! BEYOND thrilled. PLUS... it is easier than I ever thought possible! If you ever "got" your true impact on people, we would never be able to afford you!
One more thought...I had been consumed with thoughts about "needing " to lose weight. NOW, I am still heavier than my ideal, but I no longer "worry" or feel anxious or defeated. I am IN THE PROCESS -- and therefore the weight loss is essentially already accomplished in my mind. It is done. =) Thank you, and Happy Thanksgiving!

UPDATE March 2009: Thanks for calling to check in with me. I'm happy to say I still feel great! In fact, I feel even better than I did a couple years ago when I first lost the weight, thanks to the "booster sessions" you did with me. I'm exercising 5 days a week and my family is still on board with the healthier lifestyle we've created. Thanks again! Steve L., Norfolk, VA September 2006
At first, I wasn’t sure if/how the hypnosis was working for me even though I was eating differently and trying some of the new things Lisa suggested. Now I find it’s really started to stick in my subconscious. So far I have lost 35 lbs., and am still going strong. My cholesterol has dropped like a rock, and my PCP is telling me that he may start to take me off some of my medications. I can already feel the change in my subconscious mind, and know that when the weight is gone, this time it will stay gone. Changing the way you think is the only way to go--and Lisa has been great! My wife was so impressed by my progress that she signed up with Lisa as well, and the program is working for her, too. I would strongly recommend Lisa’s methods for weight loss above all other diet methods. She will help you KEEP IT OFF by reprogramming your subconscious. It really works!!

In addition to hypnosis, she has a great deal of knowledge regarding nutrition, supplements, relaxation techniques, etc. She shared that knowledge with me, as well as teaching me other techniques for dealing with temptation and cravings. I have been very pleased with my progress, especially because it doesn't feel like I am fighting myself all the time. A major key to success is attitude, and her program has helped me develop a positive attitude. I also know that Lisa is always available to me any time I might feel the need for more reinforcement. I hope others will take advantage of her skills and be as pleased as I am.

I tried some weight loss programs like NutriSystem (I gained 10 lbs.), Slim Fast (gained 5#), and Weight Watchers (I lost 15 lbs. but gained back 20 once I started eating regular meals again).
With Lisa there were no diets, just simple suggestions for healthier food choices. We talked about what I wanted and what I needed. In hypnosis, Lisa constantly spoke my name and how I wanted to see myself; how I wanted to eat. I could relate to everything spoken to me.
I've lost 32 lbs. in 6 months and gone from a dress size 16 to a 10! I am happy, thin, and have more energy than I know what to do with! I don't like the taste of sweets anymore and don't buy them. I also have a business of my own that I'm having fun with. I owe it all to the positive effects of working with Lisa. I know this will last because I feel so good and I can use my hypnosis to help me. When I look in the mirror, I am the me I have always wanted to be! Lillie Stack, Virginia Beach, VA August 2007
