Master your Metabolism: Mind Body Programme

Using a combination of biofeedback technology, nutritional therapy, NLP and Homoeopathy; this dynamic approach aims to pinpoint the stumbling blocks that often sabotage attempts to sustain weight loss. Each client is screened to address the causes of weight gain; and individually tailored programmes are devised to support the client and promote education, so they are able to understand and overcome factors that are contributing to their weight issues.

Physical factors such as food sensitivity, underactive thyroid and mal-absorption are tested using Biofeedback to determine possible weight loss obstacles. Detox protocols may also be implemented to overcome the plateaux affect that often happens during a weight loss programme due to toxin build up.

Clients are also taught the most appropriate dietary system that fits their needs and complements their lifestyle. Mental and emotional factors that may be hindering weight loss are also addressed; with NLP and/or Hypnotherapy being implemented to stop destructive patterns from re-occurring.

These mindful techniques are also used to continually support the client through the weight loss programme, and help them sustain their achievements beyond therapeutic treatment. This comprehensive approach to weight loss draws on a range of therapeutic skills and expertise to offer a supportive Mind Body programme that is unique to each individual.
