Woman Loses 6 Stone After The Virtual Gastric Band


"Kids can be so cruel - the names they called me, things like 'fat-so' and 'Honey Monster' were so awful, I think that's always stayed with me and always will."


- Story taken from the Daily Mail, to read the full story please click here


Lorraine Robb, 39, has lost just over 6 stone after she decided to try hypnotherapy for weight-loss. After years of eating burgers, chips and large portions of food, Robb is now a new woman!

Before
After
In her earlier years, Robb was bullied about her weight,  bullies called her the "Honey Monster" and "fat-so" which lead her to comfort eating.

After many diets and struggling to lose the weight, Robb found herself wearing size 24 clothing at the age of 30. Despite paying over £1,000 on diets, Robb was then advised Gastric Band Surgery, which costs a whopping £6,000!

"But at the last moment, I saw an advertisement for weight loss hypnosis on Facebook and thought I may as well try it, I had nothing to lose."

After just one 25 minute treatment session with a hypnotherapist she began to see drastic results as her weight began to plummet. 

Lorraine has now lost 6 stone and dropped 10 dress sizes!

Overcome the fear of flying

If you haven't heard already, I am holding a seminar at Humberside Airport in November. "Driffield Today" have recently written an article, see more below.

Sheila Granger is aiming to eradicate the problem for aerophobes.

Sheila, who is about to embark on a world tour, which will see her deliver talks in countries such as Australia, Canada and the US, is holding seminar at Humberside Airport on November 19 teaching local people the psychological skills to overcome their fears.

Sheila said: “The fear of flying is one of the most common fears in people today so it is something that I feel needs addressing. Thousands of people travel safely via plane every day, but unfortunately it is only the catastrophes that aerophobes remember when it comes to flying.

“The seminar will help to change the way people who suffer from this fear think about flying and give them the confidence to fly without fear.

“This is something that could potentially change someone’s life by simply changing their way of thinking. This could mean they will be able to have their first holiday abroad, or help someone who has to travel for work using a plane, I am urging people to come and seek my support.”

Summer Madness

Some people tend to reduce their workload during the summer months. In certain countries such as Italy, whole industries close down completely!

I did manage to grab a few days off but this summer has been one of the busiest periods I've faced.

This is because, along with my colleague Katie Glen, I've been rolling out 2 x new programmes to give Hypnotherapists the tools required to develop their own businesses further, thus helping more people and changing more lives.


1. The Educational Performance Practitioner (EPP)

Over the last 3 years I’ve been working in schools and other educational organisations, and its work that’s really worthwhile, enjoyable, boosts your local profile and pays well.  At the beginning of the summer I decided to share and train my tried, tested and proven ‘Educational Performance’ programme with other therapists in order to help them get Hypnotherapy into Schools, Colleges and Universities.

We had a lot of fun and the feedback I've since received has been really positive.


2. My Top 40 Ways to Fill your Business Diary

Following on from the success of the EPP, more Hypnotherapists were asking me how they could maximise their own earnings potential. Therefore I've also been running a special online course sharing tips and advice from my own experience on how to build and sustain a successful therapy practice.

Over 200 therapists have been benefitting from this course, where we have covered such areas as:


  • Creating the foundations to a profitable, sustainable therapy practice
  • How to position yourself as the go-to-therapist in your area
  • Where to find more committed, paying clients
  • How to boost your local profile
  • How to turn conversations into clients
  • Creating a Win-Win mindset
  • And much, much more....

Managing YOUR Chronic Pain

If you are suffering from chronic pain and sometimes it is hard to get out of the bed in the morning; this article may give you some tips on how to overcome your condition!

This pain could be fibromyalgia, back pain, arthritis, chronic headaches, or any pain associated with chronic illness. Being in pain can effect your everyday life, including work and relationships.

Here are a few tips that you may find helpful-

Watch your diet: Diet can play a role in controlling chronic pain. It's a good idea to steer clear of foods that can cause inflammation, such as nightshade vegetables (eggplant, tomatoes), dairy, and gluten containing grains (such as wheat). Stay away from processed foods and stick to easy-to-digest natural, whole foods. Try to reduce your meat consumption -- especially red meat -- focusing more on a plant-based diet, which tends to be anti-inflammatory.

Stay hydrated: According to the "Mayo Clinic", some chronic pain issues are made worse by dehydration. In order to make sure dehydration is not an issue for you, drink lots of water and steer clear of coffee. Alcohol is best reduced or avoided. Stick with beverages that help to hydrate and rehydrate you.

Try yoga and meditation: Yoga and meditation can lessen both the physical pain and the stress that chronic pain causes. Stress can lead to muscle spasms, which are common with chronic pain sufferers, so practicing yoga and meditation can train your body and mind, helping them to reduce that stress.

Hypnotherapy: Hypnotherapy is another helpful option for chronic pain sufferers, and can be a powerful way of managing pain. Be sure to select a hypnotherapist experienced in pain management. In your hypnotherapy sessions you will learn how to enter the trance state through self-hypnosis. In this state it is possible to change the way your brain perceives pain. Therapy can also help you cope with anxiety, depression and other common mental wellbeing issues that chronic pain sufferers so often have to deal with.

Distance Learning

"Hi Sheila, I have just completed watching your training CD's filmed in Las Vegas. Wow, I was so impressed not only with your personal warmth and generosity sharing your knowledge and experience, but the program itself."
- Ingrid 

Why Choose Distance Learning?

We are aware that many of you would like to gain the knowledge of how to use this programme and how to market your practice successfully but are unable to attend a live seminar in person. I know this has been a disappointment to those of you who are waiting for an opportunity to learn this unique weight loss method, so for a limited period we are making distance learning available. We have recently given the opportunity to some therapists in Australia to take the training by this method, and so far received this feedback:

"Hi Shelia, I just wanted to write to you personally to say thank you soooo much for allowing me the opportunity to take the Virtual Gastric Band Course via distance, I was one of the people in Australia that was really looking forward to you coming out later in the year, I have just completed the seminar DVD's and just got so much out of it I am soooo looking forward to adding this to my tool box, love every minute of it. I am one of these people like you who buys all these courses and they sit on the shelf and gather dust but this course is probably one of the only ones that I have completed via distance cause I had desperately wanted to do it and once I started I couldn't get enough." 
- Love & light Charmaine

"Hi! Finished the DVD’S and enjoyed the course a lot thanks. Will be starting soon with your programme. It is it important to me that I do things right and do not go off at half-cock; your energy and inspiration will be mirrored by me. Bring it on!"
Mark

Giving The Gift Of Commitment & Dedication This New Year

"I was thinking about what to do to mark the New Year, and I got thinking about my own resolution, and if I was going to make one. I decided that I would be more philanthropic in 2014, to give more back to the community and to charities"


Hi everyone, I hope you all had a peaceful and happy Christmas and New Year. To start the year off i am giving five lucky people from across the region the chance of a much needed helping hand to see through their New Year’s resolutions.

So why now?

Did you know that the Top 5 New Year’s resolutions are to cut down on alcohol intake, stop smoking, lose weight, de-stress and learn something new? A lot of people succeed but few for longer than a couple of weeks. Generally around 25 per cent give up trying after less than a week, and that drops to well above half by the time the month is out.

So this year I have made the pledge to give away a free session of each Lifestyle Programme to five people in total in a bid to celebrate the New Year.

My services give people the understanding to make lifestyle changes which are permanent. There are, and can be no quick fixes but with the right frame of mind, people can make the changes which give them a healthier and happier life. There is no tomfoolery, this is a very serious and life-changing technique which makes positive differences to thousands of people across the world.

Interested?

If you are interested in this limited opportunity I am asking people to nominate themselves by telling me what they have done to help someone else through 2013. You can also nominate a friend or relative who they think needs some help and is deserving of the free session.

I will be taking entries and then will sit with friends and colleagues to decide who to give the free sessions to – there must be lots of people out there who are too consumed helping other people that they often neglect themselves.

To be in with a chance of being given a free session, email think@sheilagranger.com with no more than 100 words as to why you deserve the help.

Looking forward to hearing from you all,

Sheila  x
