The Virtual Gastric Band
Hello Karen. It Worked – No Chocolates or Sweets! When I made an appointment for hypnotherapy, I didn’t know what to expect and was a bit skeptical, but found Karen to be very approachable, straight forward and honest. After just one session, I was stunned and delighted at the success of it. From the moment I had hypnotherapy the desire for sweet things absolutely left me and I have even lost my pot belly. Thank you.
Nearly 5 kg total loss so far – slow, but steady she goes. Feeling great too. Off to Hawaii on Tuesday for a week and happy for the loss of bulges in the swimsuit! I am absolutely COMMITTED to further reducing. Loving my walks.
Wow wee after 3 sessions with Karen I have lost 6.1kg in 6 weeks. I have found the programme really good, all those feelings of hunger in ‘regular’ diets have not been there. I am totally focussed on getting to my goal weight. I feel content, happier, fitter and more motivated to succeed than I have done in years. I am enjoying seeing the fat slowly disappear.
This Virtual Gastric Band is a brilliant life changing, mind blowing program that I would fully recommend to anyone!! It was relaxing, easy and that excess weight disappeared surprisingly quickly – within 8 months I shed 20kgs. I have regained my confidence; self esteem and feel absolutely fantastic.
My VGB is going great. I have lost 28kg so far, and am feeling amazing – even went for my first run the other day!! I haven’t touched a drop of alcohol this year and love water (lol never thought I’d ever say that) So a huge thank you to you.
I have struggled with comfort eating since I was 14 years old. I have finally broken free of my old habit with Karen’s Hypnotherapy and after a session on quit smoking, I’m now a happy non smoker too. Karen is able to pin point your issues and then able to work with you to find a personal solution through hypnosis. My five sessions with Karen have been life changing and priceless. AA++!
Such an easy program and weight continuing to track down! I have not felt deprived at all and I now find myself not interested in those cakes, sweets and chips that I would have reached out for and grabbed in the past
Things are going really well. I’ve lost 12.4 kgs so far. Im feeling more energised and motivated, which I’m loving”. (one month later).
I am soooo excited and motivated!! Thank you, I’ve lost about 9 kilos and counting. I just brought a shirt in two sizes smaller than I would normally. One Month Later – Just a quick note to say a big thank you again. I’ve lost 15 kilos and I would not have been able to do it without your help. Thanks thanks thanks. 5 months later – This is a life changing program – I feel in control of life again. Now 40 kg down and enjoying the journey.
Hi Karen I saw you 3 months ago. Since then I have gone from 78kg to 66kg, my goal weight. I have been a yo-yo dieter for 40 years. I can’t believe how easy the Virtual Gastric Band made it. I have been an asthmatic since my 20’s; I have only used my inhaler once in the time I have been loosing weight. My blood pressure is also good. Even my Dr is amazed. Thank you so much. The only thing I am disappointed about is that I didn’t know about it sooner.
I went to Karen in December 2012, having never tried Hypnotherapy before. As a first time client I found Karen to be both reassuring and professional. The initial consultation was extremely helpful in pinpointing where I was needing assistance and I believe that it was Karen’s distinctive holistic approach which strengthened the effectiveness of the hypnotherapy treatment. My two consultations with Karen have had a very positive effect on my life, not just in resolving the issues I initially went to her for, but in many other unexpected ways. I have no hesitation in recommending her services
Hypnotherapy has worked for me. I went to see my Doctor because for the past couple of years I’ve been having adrenaline rushes for no apparent reason – multiple times through the day. It was beginning to wear me down. My doctor did a few tests but was unable to help and didn’t seem to want to refer me to a specialist. So in desperation I talked to a hypnotherapist I’m friend’s with overseas to see if she thought hypnotherapy would work. She helped me choose a therapist and I went to see Karen. With Karen’s help I have come a long way and now rarely get the adrenaline rushes and if I do feel one starting I now have the ability to stop it. I feel much more in control of my life, much calmer in myself and am able to focus on the more positive aspects of my life. Thanks Karen for all your help.
Thank you so much for all your help with my driving anxiety. I knew I could do it, but you’ve helped me with the last hurdle – my head! and I am now happy and confident driving anywhere.

Karen has helped me relax and calm down and I can now look forward to going home and I am surprised that the sound of music no longer bothers me”
“I went to see my Doctor because for the past couple of years I’ve been having adrenaline rushes for no reason multiple times through the day.

“Well I gave the injections and things went amazingly well. Although nervous, I was able to perform them well with none of my previous symptoms showing. My tutors were amazed at me and couldn’t believe the difference. I think I had finally reached the bottom and had nowhere to go but up. I am even looking forward to injecting as many patients as I can for experience purposes; it’s as if the scaredy cat veil has been lifted. Thank you for your support”.
