Virtual Gastric Band

Personalised, Non-Invasive Weight Loss Solution with Long-Lasting Results

The Virtual Gastric Band combines the science of hypnosis with a tailored approach to each individual’s needs. Unlike traditional gastric band surgery or restrictive diets, this programme is safe, non-surgical, and focuses on shifting your mindset to naturally control portion sizes and cravings.

It’s an effective, sustainable weight loss solution without the physical risks or deprivation associated with other methods.

Developed using scientifically backed hypnosis techniques, the Virtual Gastric Band programme helps retrain your subconscious mind to feel satisfied with smaller portions. With over 10 years of experience in hypnotherapy, I have worked with over 2000 clients, helping them achieve sustainable weight loss without surgery. The programme is designed to change your relationship with food for life—based on research, not guesswork.

Virtual Gastric Band – How It Works

With the Virtual Gastric Band Programme, there is no denial or deprivation of the foods that you enjoy. There is no point trying to eliminate certain foods such as chocolate, cheese, carbs etc as it’s unachievable to say you would never have these things again for the rest of your life. 

It helps you to be satisfied on the odd piece of chocolate every now and then as opposed to half the block. Or to be happy having a piece of cake on your birthday without guilt, because at the end of the day it’s just a piece of cake. The programme helps to cut out the mindless eating so that you can be in control of the decisions you are making.

Throughout the four sessions, the Virtual Gastric Band really helps you to recognise the full signals (which in turn helps to recognise true hunger) so that you fuel your body only with what it needs. As much as the Virtual Gastric Band hypnosis helps you to feel fuller, satisfied on smaller portions and cuts out the mindless eating, there are also a few conscious things you need to do as well, as any change requires some conscious effort. One of the most important things is to listen to the support recordings each day in between the sessions.

It’s really important to set a goal, so we do, however this is more about taking the main focus away from the number on the scales and putting it on to ensuring you feel confident, in control and empowered in the choices that you are making so that the weight almost comes off as a lucky side effect.

Rather than just hypnotising you into saying “You no longer want to eat anymore and chocolate will taste disgusting” for example, we look at it from a much more whole perspective. Studies have shown that hypnotherapy can help regulate the hormones associated with weight loss.

Do These Struggles Sound Familiar?

Feeling trapped in a cycle of weight loss struggles? Do these sound familiar:

  • Craving sugary treats and unhealthy snacks?
  • Reaching for food when you’re not even hungry?
  • Finishing off the leftovers, even when you’re full?
  • Using food as a reward or comfort?
  • Feeling stressed, bored, or lonely… and reaching for the fridge?
  • Constantly battling with portion control?
  • Viewing exercise as more of a chore than a fun activity?
  • Feeling guilty after indulging?
  • Starting off strong but losing motivation quickly?
  • Wondering how others manage to stay slim?

If any of these resonate with you, Virtual Gastric Band hypnosis can be your game-changer.

Hypnotherapy For Weight Loss

A bit about me

My name’s Richard. I’m a fully certified Hypnotherapist and a fully registered member with Hypnosis New Zealand. I’ve trained with some of the top hypnotherapists worldwide including Sheila Granger, pioneer of the Virtual Gastric Band.

For years, I struggled with weight loss myself, feeling trapped in a cycle of restrictive diets and disappointment. Then, I discovered hypnotherapy, and it was a game-changer.

Feeling frustrated, ashamed, and lacking control are all too common. That’s why I’m dedicated to helping others experience the freedom and empowerment that comes with achieving healthy weight loss through hypnotherapy.

Imagine a world where you feel confident in your own skin, where food choices empower you, and where you have the energy to live life to the fullest. That’s the transformation I witness in my clients. Through hypnotherapy, we address the root causes of unhealthy eating habits and create sustainable, positive changes.
