A Success Story
I just love to get feedback from my clients. Sometimes I work with a person for a few months and then I might not run into them for a long time. One recent client of mine has had to move to the other side of the country, for family reasons. When a client moves away, unless we are continuing our work via Skype or some other electronic means, there is always the chance that I might never get to see the extended result of our working together. This is why I was especially pleased to receive this following testimonial from her. I was flattered by her kind words and I’m excited to hear that she is using the tools we developed in our sessions. She has asked me to share this with my clients and friends and I am more than happy to.

Testimonial by Denise Bowen
I’ve been struggling with my weight and my bad eating habits since I was a young teenager. I’ve tried many different diets over the years and proven to myself that the key to losing weight is eating less and exercising more. I’ve also proven to myself that these things are easier said than done. The problem, on one level, has been my habits, but on a much deeper level it’s always been about what I think. It all starts with and ends with what’s in my head.
Joy has been a great help to me. For the first time in my life, my thoughts about eating and exercise are changing. Joy’s hypnotherapy program has helped me understand the underlying reasons _why_ I eat the way we do and then made it much easier for me to let go of some really unhelpful ideas about myself and food. She’s also helping me feel more excited about exercising and in general- just more excited about being active.
When I was really young, I remember thinking that I was too busy playing to bother stuffing my face. Somehow, as a teen, I got out of the habit of playing and into the habit of eating when I was bored or stressed. Over time I got fat and felt like I didn’t have the energy or desire to do anything active and so when I was bored I would eat more and then get even fatter. It’s such a rotten cycle to be in. I want to get back to the way I was when in was little- just having too much fun to put a lot of effort into stuffing my face. Thanks to Joy, I am on my way!
I’ve bought roller-skates! I’m taking the time to go out and be more active. I’m doing some Belly Dancing, I’m walking (my dogs love this!)- Basically, I’m living a much more active life. I’ve even started parking father away from the store instead of hunting for the closest possible spot in the parking lot. I’m still young (relatively…) and I can walk. I don’t struggle with cravings the way I used to. Hypnosis has helped me a lot with this, as well as being armed with a big list of fun things that I can do instead of snacking. I’m feeling great and I’m looking so much better!
I’m not puffy and grey anymore. I move around so much easier now. I’m losing weight and my body shape is changing. My waist is getting smaller and the flab on my arms is shrinking! I don’t want to look like my grandmother with the turkey waddle under my arms. Now, when I look in the mirror, I see potential and I feel excited. Joy has helped me free myself from a very destructive relationship with food. “Free” that’s the word. I feel like I am free from the thoughts that kept me locked in a terribly unhealthy cycle of weight gain and poor self image for most of my life.
I recommend Joy Reichard to everyone who is looking to develop healthier eating habits and free themselves from a bad relationship with food.
