Why the hypnotic gastric band doesn't work!
One of the things I get asked about most frequently is the difference between my NewLeaf programme and the hypnotic gastric band.
I’m often asked what can hypnotherapy be used to treat and it’s such a difficult question to answer because the answer is just about anything where the subconscious is involved. Sometimes whatever that is doesn’t have an obvious connection to the subconscious so if you’re wondering if hypnotherapy can help you, the answer is most likely yes!

NewLeaf Weight Loss
Totally recommend Helen. When I went to her I felt depressed and had very low self-esteem about myself. Felt ugly, fat, eating for the sake of eating and a size 16/18. Now I’m a 14 going onto a size 12. My family and friends are noticing not just the weight loss but my whole outlook on life. I feel more confidence than I’ve had for a long time. That’s after 4 weeks. Thanks for giving me my life back, Helen xx
