Virtual Gastric Band Hypnosis Townsville

"I had reached a point in my life where my appearance was impacting my physical and mental health. I had fallen into the “dad bod” category and couldn’t seem to escape. I would eat less, eat better and exercise to lose weight, but I finally realised I didn’t know how to stop the bad behaviour that kept sending me back to the start. Colin helped me to understand how our minds work and how to work in that behavioural space to lose weight, but more importantly be healthy. It has been six months since I first met Colin and I have lost 15kg. I live an active life, but in the last since months I have done no sport, gym, cardio or swimming, I simply eat well, listen to my body and focus on what I want. Very attainable and extremely sustainable. People often ask how does hypnotism work, “is it for real” and I will be the first to admit it took me nearly a year to gather the courage to try it. Being a person who has built a career in engineering, I am painfully logical, so the thought of swinging clocks and mind control like we so often see in the movies seemed too far out. I really had to open my mind and build a better understanding of what hypnotism really is. In my opinion it is psychology conducted in a relaxed state. You are in complete control and can do and remember everything. You are just relaxed and your thoughts are very focused on a specific outcome. That’s it! Yes, I absolutely recommend it and have developed a deep appreciation for psychology and the inner workings of our minds. I do tell people that it is like all goals, you must want it, work on it, know it will happen and don’t fear the path. This program will lead you to your goal if you let it. We spend so much time and money looking after our teeth, joints, hair and body in general, but most forget their mind and mental health. That’s why I saw Colin and it has changed my life."

"I have just finished my 6 week programme with Colin for the Virtual Gastric Band. I am almost at my target weight and I feel so much more confident within myself. Moving forward, I know that I will be able to keep up with this lifestyle, it has mostly been a breeze. Overall I feel more energetic, I am thinking about food a lot less - before it would be a near constant and my general headspace is much clearer and calmer. I also completed the stress and anxiety course on the side. I have been given life-changing tools and information that I am so excited to continue using. I can not recommend Colin and Wendy enough! Throughout my life I have yo-yo dieted and constantly beaten myself up for eating the 'wrong' things. I have finally had a huge shift in my mindset and I feel like a different person mentally and physically. I know that Colin will be there on the other end of the phone, if ever I need more support moving forward. Thank you so much Colin and Wendy!!"

"I started my journey on the 4 December 2019 at 160kg (approximately, as some of you will know the feeling of not wanting to actually know how much you weigh). I had been through the loss of my father suddenly after extensive surgery to remove a large amount of cancer on his face and head and within 6 weeks of my father passing away the loss of my grandmother, on top of other stresses in my life. I ate my way through grief and stress to the point where I could not function as a person any longer, I would have to sleep when I got home from work because I was so tired, my sleep apnoea was so severe I would wake thinking I was chocking, my sugar levels were dropping to 3, my feet were so swollen I could barley walk and everyday tasks were a challenge. My self esteem was so low I did not want to leave the house because I felt uncomfortable and judged by others (I honestly do believe now that this was just my insecurities and judgemental thoughts about myself). My doctors were all encouraging me to have weight loss surgery - but for me this was not something I wanted - I knew however if I did not do something the likelihood of surviving past 45 was not very high. I was googling alternatives to weight loss surgery and found Virtual Gastric Band Hypnosis in Townsville with Wendy and Colin Soper. Immediately I booked in with them and promised myself if this did not work then surgery was my only option. Fast forward to 21/07/2020 and with the tools and support Wendy provided me I am now 60kg lighter with only 20kg more to go till my goal weight. It has honestly been easy to make the changes because unlike anything else out there VGB changes your mind set about food, this critical factor is the one thing that all other weight loss options fail in, and trust me I have tried them ALL. This is the first time in my weight loss journey life that I feel confident that I am going to achieve my goal and maintain it for the rest of my life. My GP has also asked me what I have done to achieve such a fantastic result and is now recommending VGB to patients as a alternative to surgery. THANK YOU Wendy and THANK YOU VGB for helping me to enjoy my life and have confidence again"

"I have just completed my 6 week VGB programme with Colin and have lost 6.5 kgs and I have to say it has been an amazing experience. To say how easy it has been is an understatement. This is not a diet this is a lifetime journey of being empowered to be in control of your relationship with food and overall health and well-being. Colin has given me amazing support and all the tools I need to move forward to reach my weight loss goals and I can’t thank him enough. I started this journey being very unhealthy mind and body after a lifetime of emotional eating and self sabotage. From my very first session with Colin my mindset has shifted from self loathing and zero motivation to feeling empowered, in control of a total life change, where I desire to exercise and eat healthy smaller portions. This is a miracle I can tell you. I am now eating easily 60% less and desire only healthy clean foods. Loving my daily walks, I feel energised and in control and it feels so good. My blood pressure has lowered and I am sleeping so much better now and my anxiety has all but gone. I can not recommend this programme enough. It has been a life changer for me and I am very excited for the journey ahead as I continue to becoming slimmer healthier and fitter. Thanks again Colin and Wendy."
