A six week weight loss program of individual sessions held over a period of 2 ½ - 3 months. All sessions are an hour long except for the first which lasts an hour and a half.The philosophy of our Weight Loss Program, one of most successful formats offered in Central Virginia and tendered with the utmost integrity, is that limiting calories and making weight loss about food is treating the symptom and not the cause of lack of success.
Our program utilizing the very powerful duo of hypnosis and behavior modification assesses not only the emotions that lead to inappropriate eating, but explores the erroneous beliefs and behaviors that reinforce cravings and make weight loss seemingly impossible.
If you have the commitment to finally change, if you are sick and tired of being tired, hypnosis is the most successful way to quit smoking and become a non-smoker. However, first we want you to know we believe smoking is not an addiction—it is a bad habit reinforced endlessly that becomes an excuse for anything and everything. In other words, a crutch, a coping mechanism. After using hypnosis, you can throw those wimpy cigarettes away. After all, it's nothing more than a light wrapper of paper filled with ground up leaves. At this point, we won't mention the 400 plus carcinogens. Another myth to debunk is that to quit smoking is harder than shakig a heroin addiction—that came from someone who didn’t have sufficient motivation. Our clients quit smoking after 20-40 years of smoking one to three packs a day. Any negative habit, such as smoking only has the power you have given it. Hypnosis gives you the fortitude to take back that power and stop smoking for good.
Three things we already know about you and the relationship you have with your cigarette based on our many years of helping thousands to make a better choice: 1) you are afraid of failing to quit smoking, 2) you have a love-hate relationship with cigarettes, and 3) you give it a power it doesn’t have.

Anything we can do to encourage non-drug approaches, we will, including massage therapy, Reiki, Cranial-Sacral, healing touch and acupuncture.

It is interesting to note that the YMCA’s stated mission since inception has been “building healthy spirit, mind and body.
