Expert Guidance and Support

The Virtual Gastric Band programme is led by certified hypnotherapist, Richard Kellow.

To achieve real long-term freedom from excess weight requires CHANGE. 

The use of hypnosis over a four-week (four sessions) live hypnosis programme can change your mindset, habits and behaviours around food that have been acquired over a lifetime.

The foundations can be put into place that will alter and transform the way you think about food - for good! ​

And all without dieting. ​

Hypnosis will give you a foundation for a life-changing new relationship with food that will enable you to become the person you want to be.

And now, you don’t need to do it alone. 

Weight Loss Online is a group hypnosis weight-loss programme which takes place online via Zoom. 

This means you can be part of the programme from wherever you are in the world, and you can interact with other participants in a four week supportive consultation.

A North Carolina State University study of 704 people enrolled in an online weight loss program found that those who enrolled with a friend lost more weight and more inches than those who didn’t.

The whole reason I became interested in hypnotherapy was thanks to my own positive experience with weight loss hypnosis. While working in the stock market in London, I became about 25kg overweight. On top of this I felt stressed, unfit and completely burnt out. 

Out of curiosity and sheer desperation I finally wound up in a hypnotherapist's office. In a very short space of time, I noticed some very impressive changes. Not only did I start to shed the weight effortlessly, but I also began using the health benefits of hypnosis to unlock my potential and improve all sorts of other areas in my life. I was motivated to exercise, eat healthy foods, began feeling less stressed and even stopped smoking - it was fantastic! Hypnosis gave me a lot of clarity and changed the entire trajectory of my life. I moved to New Zealand almost a decade ago and it wasn't long after arriving that I decided to change my career. I have trained with many of the top Hypnotherapists globally including Alpha Hypnosis, Hypnosis New Zealand and the Integrative Hypnotherapy Institute here in New Zealand. I am also a registered member of Hypnosis New Zealand and abide by their code of ethics.

FAQs

Here are some frequently asked questions regarding the Group Virtual Gastric Band programme. For a full list of FAQs regarding weight loss hypnosis and the Virtual Gastric Band, you can head over to that page and check them out.

How is this different to a diet?

Dieting generally involves making changes to what you eat, such as reducing calorie intake, cutting out certain types of food, or following a specific meal plan. The focus is on changing your eating habits to achieve weight loss. Hypnosis, on the other hand, is a tool that can be used to change your attitudes and behaviours towards food, and can help you develop a healthy relationship with food. The focus is on changing your mindset and creating new habits, rather than just changing what you eat.

How effective is group hypnosis compared to individual hypnosis for weight loss?

Some studies suggest that both individual and group hypnosis can be effective for weight loss, with no significant differences between the two approaches. A 2008 study published in the International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis found that both individual and group hypnosis were effective for weight loss, with no significant differences between the two approaches.

What is the success rate of group hypnosis for weight loss?

A 2018 meta-analysis published in the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology found that hypnotherapy, including group hypnosis, was effective for weight loss when used as part of a comprehensive weight management program. The meta-analysis included 59 studies with a total of 3,577 participants and found that hypnotherapy led to a significant reduction in body weight and BMI. Success rates can also vary depending on the individual's commitment to making healthy lifestyle changes.

What should I expect during a group hypnosis session for weight loss?

During a group hypnosis session for weight loss, you can expect to be guided into a state of deep relaxation and focus. We will typically begin the session with a relaxation exercise, such as deep breathing or progressive muscle relaxation, to help individuals achieve a state of calm and relaxation.

Once you are in a relaxed state, you will be guided through suggestions and visualisations that are designed to help them change your behaviour and thought patterns related to eating and physical activity. Various techniques, such as positive affirmations, mental imagery, and cognitive restructuring, to help individuals develop healthier habits and attitudes related to food and exercise may also be used.

Do I need any special equipment for the session?

Not at all. As long as you have somewhere comfortable, where you won’t be disturbed, and a stable internet connection. Some people prefer to sit upright, others prefer to lie down and earphones are optional. You will be sent a link to click on 5 minutes before the session starts to test your camera and microphone. It’s as simple as that.
