It has been said that the combination of simply journaling what you eat can create 80% success on a weight reduction program. This group is for people with weight reduction concerns as well as people who need to develop healthy self loving eating habits.

My experience of incorporating hypnosis, behavioral tools and Emotional Freedom Technique along with journaling and group support is that positive results are far greater reaching and have deeper and longer lasting impact. One certainly can go it alone with the latest weight loss diet or go to a large weight loss facility with a corporate model, but I have found that women prefer small, connected groups where they can do real work and see results that become new life patterns, not just the latest weight loss plan or craze of the season.

It is widely known now that when the body is asked to repeatedly "yo yo diet”, it gets confused and goes into starvation mode instead of letting go of extra weight. Then you are left with a metabolism that is in famine mode when food is plentiful and your body is thrown out of balance. The creation of lifestyle patterns of healthy eating is the ultimate weight loss goal to strive for. By identifying and letting go of your triggers, you become conscious and thus empowered to make healthier choices you can be proud of.

Nothing beats the support of an intimate group facilitated in an inspirational and professional manner where a safe space is created for people to let go of emotional weight and the baggage that lives in it and new empowering tools are taught that educate, inspire and motivate ongoing change and self love to continue. That is Freedom with a capital "F!" Come join us!!

It is an educational, growth oriented group designed to empower participants to create lasting change in their food and self care habits. Participants under a therapists care will need to have their practitioner's approval to join this group and Ms. Troy will need to be in communication with the therapist and receive a referral from the therapist before acceptance into the group is permitted.
