I began teaching the Living Lightly Series through Community Education programs in and around San Antonio in 2000. Since that time over 2000 private clients and students in group settings have benefited from it. I recently rolled out an alternate updated version called Living Lightly Detox. The Detox version uses the principles in Dr. Mark Hyman’s books, especially The 10 Day Detox Diet which I have personally benefitted from.
Hypnosis is not a substitute for dietary improvement or exercise. However, my clients and students have reported that using these programs have made it much easier for them to stay on track with their weight loss goals. They have also told me that hypnosis has helped them in other areas of their lives, such as improving sleep, dealing with difficult relationships, accomplishing other goals and increasing overall self esteem.
The premise of Living Lightly is that, when you “lighten up” and let go of worrying and obsessing and simply focus on being happy and healthy, weight loss follows. Once a client or student tells me that they are feeling “lighter” and “less weighed down by life,” I know they are on the road to shedding pounds. I have actually seen clients lose up to 12 pounds in one week. However, an average of 2 pounds per week is the norm.
Living Lightly is not a fad or a craze. It is built on solid principals of eating real food, exercising safely and having FUN while you’re doing it! If this program has helped you in the past, please share it with someone who might like it as well. If you are hearing about Living Lightly for the first time and want to know more, feel free to contact me. If you do not live in the San Antonio area, you can still take advantage of Living Lightly for Home Use.

Cost is $40 each and comes with a CD. You can take all the classes listed below or pick and choose the ones you feel you really need. The program is self-paced so schedule what works for you.

The agenda is as follows: Class #1– “Lighten Up”– Simple behavior changes to increase your likelihood for success, including letting go of emotional eating. Reduce portion size, drink more water and make healthier food choices.
Class #2: “Exercise Motivation”– Find and stick with your own ideal exercise plan. Desire to exercise is increased with hypnosis. I teach you to “future pace”, which is to imagine what your body will be like one month, six months, a year into the future after exercising consistently.
Class #3: “Eliminating Cravings”– I will be discussing the reasons for cravings, with emphasis on the roles that sugar addiction, carbohydrate sensitivity and Candida play. You are then lead on a hypnotic journey to identify your own bad foods to eliminate or good foods to increase. Hypnosis helps you let go of the bad foods and embrace the good ones.
Class #4: “Detoxifying the Body”– I will teach you some methods for detoxifying the body of unhealthy substances, like old undigested foods, that actually keep you from losing weight. Detox is a great way to restimulate weight loss if you hit a plateau. Methods for detoxing every organ system will be discussed. My favorite class!
