I signed up in September 2015, for a weight loss plan. I had about 60lbs to lose to get back to my ideal healthy weight. All I can say is, it's working! Slow, steady weight loss of 1/2-3 lbs per week. So far, have lost 30 pounds and 17 inches, I am also down two sizes. I liked the thorough questionnaire that the sales counselor put me through in the beginning. Others may have seen it as high pressure, but I felt it was very much a "weeding out" process. The woman who was my sales counselor was very explicit in her explanation of the sales contract and how it works...( you do have to decide very quickly based on only one appointment if you will stick with it or not). I had already experienced some hypnosis in the past, so I was comfortable making the commitment quickly. This program is definitely NOT for everyone; because hypnosis therapy for weight loss is EXTREMELY INTENSE. At least, I find it to be this way. I think most folks who struggle with their weight for years have built up a lot of emotions around weight-food-eating-thinking, etc. Right? Otherwise, if it was so easy to eat and live through our culture, there would not be so many eating disorders and body-image problems.I myself had really thought that I did not have too many emotional eating or stress-eating issues...um, I really did have these habits, and was just quite oblivious! Hypnosis and the neuro-linguistic processes that are used in their system really force your brain to go deep, and release old bad emotional and thinking habits. With this program, you go once a week and get classes on nutrition, positive self-talk, new coping skills, and private coaching sessions. This alone is about a 2 hour appointment all at once, each week. The time commitment and self-discipline required on your own is about 20 -30 minutes in the morning, same thing in the evening. They tell you that to be truly successful, you should listen to your CDs at home THREE times per day. I don't have the time,self-discipline or desire to do that, I have found that I like to listen to the CDs in the morning and in the evening. They are really relaxing right before bedtime. I am sleeping better, and more deeply, as a side benefit.The morning CD processes really help me get "armored up" in a positive mindset, as I start my day. In your personal coaching sessions, the counselors go through what you might be struggling with, ( you meet with them every other week, roughly, at least twice per month.) Then, they design your own personalized hypnosis CD to listen to on your own. For this program to work, you need to be very comfortable with disclosing your own personal struggles, week to week. I can not emphasize this enough. If you don't want to dig deep and be honest about your struggles and failures, then you're not ready. I have found that every counselor is quite sensitive,kind and helpful. I have met nearly every staff member, and each of them has been through their own struggles. They have each been quick to point out my successes, and encouraged me with examples of what many others have struggled with & how they handled it. It has really made me feel better; many times I have approached my personal sessions grumpy and irritated with the process and myself...feeling "roadblocked" and every single time, the counselor has given me new hope and helpful ideas. I always leave feeling positive, happy and encouraged! That's a blessing in my life; everyone I know has remarked on how happy, optimistic and energized I am lately. Truly, it's because of this program. It's literally made "positive changes" in my world. The weight loss is almost seeming like a natural side-effect of my changing mind. Never thought I would feel this way! I have gained and lost the same 30lbs countless times in my life, this time, it's for good. The bottom line is this: your counselor can not design a program to address your issues if you don't tell them what is really hard for you, what you are really struggling with, etc. If you are not ready to be completely honest with your self and why you are overweight, then you are not really ready to deal with the intense self-scrutiny and honesty this program requires to be successful. I had tried hypnosis in my twenties and the emotions that it brought up were WAY too intense and uncomfortable for me to deal with. I am now 51, and I knew I was strong enough to face the emotional issues that were attached to my weight gain over the years. I was ready, psychologically, in other words, to finally go back to my healthy thin natural weight I just needed some help and guidance along the way. I can not emphasize enough how you yourself have to be ready to SELF-DISCLOSE about your own struggles. That alone is enough to really scare a lot of people away. This is a serious commitment to your own health, the process really works, but you have to trust the process and actually do it on a regular, committed basis, for success.

I have only been going to Positive Changes Hypnosis for a month and I feel like a million dollars already! My brain has cleared the clutter and chaos, my anxiety is minimal and my eating habits are changing daily. I have always wanted to learn how to meditate, change my way of thinking about food, stress and life in general, and find inner peace; this program has helped me so much in the very short time I have been involved. I am a lifelong learner however good nutrition, eating for health and sustained life has never been my primary focus until now. Recently I have seen so many of my friends and family members getting very ill, some with very serious health issues and I do not want to be struggling with that since I have pretty good health now. I am a carbohydrate addict and a stress eater who has let things get way out of control; food has overtaken my life and has controlled me for the last time. Through Positive Changes I am learning how to take back control of my life (it is the complete package deal for me, the mental changes not just the weight loss). I know that it is a long road but by taking the "road less traveled" in my case, I will be able to see the changes that will affect me for the rest of my life, that is going to be a good thing!!! I do not want a "fix" or a "short term" solution for my life, I want control of my life and that is what my goal is for the next year, to take back my life, to gain control of my behaviors and to live life to the fullest by being healthy, happy and altogether satisfied with who I am~I am thankful to all the people at Positive Changes who see me for who I am and only want to see me become better, better, better than yesterday; it is well worth the money spent (and my husband is loving the less stressed me too). Yeah for me and yeah for such a personalized program that helps people become better people!!! read more

While I have only been with the Positive Changes Hypnosis program for about 10 days, it has been a very encouraging experience. The staff is very friendly and have been very good to me. Many say the $2725.00 fee for the program is excessive, however I would disagree totally. Positive Changes Hypnosis has helped me to lose weight by helping me to see food in a much different way. This program focuses on behaviors, attitudes, and mindsets that can act as stumbling blocks to long term weight loss. While other diets can yield short term results, often times those diets can create yo-yo dieting and up and down weight fluctuations. If you are looking for long term weight loss, you need to change behaviors, attitudes, and beliefs about food. Unlike any other weight loss program, Positive Changes helps a person to change not only their eating behaviors/habits but so to look at foods differently. In addition, the hypnosis program helps you get beyond your conscious thoughts to your sub-conscious which will help u stop wanting bad foods and start wanting healthy, vibrant, vegetables and fruits. This comprehensive program helps a person to end their cravings. It's the best weight loss program I have ever seen. As far as the amount of investment (cost), is it better to invest over $2725 to retake control of your life or pay a whole lot more in health care and hospital costs due to obesity and other food related conditions? I would rather pay a little now and prevent those huge long term health care costs!!!! Positive Changes is providing an excellent and cost effective service to help those with chronic obesity and long time smoking addictions to positively impact and change their lives. Keep up the good work guys!!!!! read more

I am new to Positive Changes. Only 3 weeks. The facility is clean and well laid out with reasonable access for me and my walker. The staff members are professional in appearance and demeanor. My initial opinion was pretty skeptical. I didn't think that I would be hypnotizable (is that even a word?) but I quickly found out that I am. I did the consult and had my first session the same day. Very relaxing. I follow the recommended therapies at home and it seems to be helping. I am hoping to change some of my ancient neural pathways via hypnosis. I am noticing some small changes after just three short weeks...I am sleeping better at night and I have a better attitude. I "feel" more willing to take positive steps to reclaim my health. And for me that's great. It's all about progress and I'll take slow and steady for now. I am quite pleased. I read other reviews expressing concerns about cancellation and refund complications. In my initial consult the consultant advised that I could cancel after my first session before exiting the building. Then the hypnotist talked with me after my session before she provided me with written materials, a copy of my individual hypnosis session to use at home and an audio CD for morning and evening daily hypnosis sessions. I'd speculate that if I had said I wanted a refund they would not have provided me with the at home materials that can be used to resolve my presenting problem. It is appropriate to expect to pay for services rendered and materials provided if the cancellation policy defined in the signed contract is not followed. read more

My name is Ashley, I am 25 years old and recently started my weight loss journey with Positive Changes. I am very delighted in both the facility but even more so the staff of Positive Changes! From my first consolation to the first official appointment and all the way through my weekly follow ups. I have been nothing short impressed. I felt welcomed immediately and was relaxed by the calm atmosphere as well as the caring staff. They are very accommodating and strive for not only my comfort at all times but are continually active cheerleaders in my success. They answered all my questions (Not knowing anything about hypnosis prior to Positive Changes) and worked with me to acknowledge my goals in a productive and completely achievable way. They also helped me understand a deeper level as to why I was currently at the weight I was. I have been going to my treatments for ongoing 3 months now and have already noticed multiple improvements in my day to day life. I feel healthier, knowing how to make the right decisions. I feel more relaxed and easy going. Taking 15-30 minutes everyday to relax and listen to my sessions has been very helpful and fulfilling. I am falling asleep faster and feeling more rested. Not to mention my cloths are fitting better! Not only would recommend Positive Changes to my friends and family, I already have! And I am recommending it to you! read more

I had my first session Feb. 19th 2015. So far, I have lost 41lbs!!! This program is absolutely wonderful! The entire staff is so helpful and so encouraging and the program... I'm not sure how they could make it any easier. It IS NOT A DIET!! I can't stress that enough. It's not a place to get shamed or well, anything negative. This is a place where I come once a week to relax and get good advice and and learn new things. I honestly don't know any other time when I get to relax so deeply. The biggest thing for me, besides my weight coming off, is my new love of fruit and some vegetables. This is huge for me, because my entire life I have avoided these things as if they were trying to kill me. On Feb 19th, I left Positive Changes feeling... almost giddy and so very relaxed. But, I had a uncontrollable craving... for an apple! An apple!?? Who craves apples? especially after truly loathing apples for most of my life. I stopped at the store and got apples... and strawberries (something else I have always not liked, the seeds always played a big part in that) and I loved every bite of them. Don't get me wrong, if I want to have a hamburger or whatever, I don't deprive myself at all. I just am not craving these things like I have for the past 20+ years. I could not be happier with this whole process. I am honestly overjoyed with Positive Changes~ read more

I have been going to Positive Changes since October 17, 2012. I was very depressed and overweight. I am 49 years old and I have MS. My mother asked me months ago if I would consider Positive Changes Hypnosis and I said that I wasnt interested. Then I felt like I was going down hill faster, so I changed my mind. After my first personal session I felt like if I really tried hard this might work. I listened to the CD three times a day and I started eating the live foods suggested. After the first week of listening to the CD I transformed. I was happy and I didnt know why. The pain of my history was gone. I felt like it was no longer an issue. Im on SSD and Im really tight on my income. If it was not for my mother paying for this I would have not been able to go. I tell her very often that she gave me my life for the 2nd time. I wish I would have known about this a long time ago. At the beginning I didnt do all the suggested things they told me about. I just didnt want to. But after awhile of being stubborn, I finally started doing more things. I started walking and then running and the weight started to fall off. That motivated me to keep going and then doing more. Im happy and I feel good inside and out. read more

I have been a yo-yo dieter all my life, losing a lot of weight, only to gain it all back and then some. I believe the reason I gained back the weight is because my mind hadn't changed about myself and my attitude about food. After the weight loss, I went back to my old negative habits and behaviors that have been programmed into my mind my entire life. Positive Changes re-programs your mind so that negative behaviors, habits, and thoughts are erased and replaced with new positive thoughts so that food isn't your emotional comfort anymore. Your relationship with food changes from Live to Eat, to Eat to Live. All the staff are wonderful, caring, and supportive of your efforts and will do anything to help you succeed. Finally, my life isn't centered around food anymore. Imagine not having to constantly count calories, count points, weigh food, all of which centers your life around food and dieting again. Your positive re-programmed mind will automatically help you to make healthy food choices, to eat when you are hungry, and to eat the right amount until you are physically full. Your entire lifestyle changes and most importantly, it is for life! It really works!!! read more

My husband and I both joined Positive Changes together and are so glad we did. In the 5 decades of trying EVERYTHING out there, we were both at the end of the proverbial diet rope. Since starting with this program, we saw results immediately. We are very conscious about what we eat and how we eat. We have more energy and a better outlook on life in general. With the increase in energy we are now more active and upbeat. I am a diabetic, with really bad A1C numbers, which was the motivation for going to Positive Changes. My numbers have improved dramatically. The weight loss and overall health benefits have been a wonderful bonus. This program is not a diet. It is a lifestyle change which my husband and I plan to follow for the rest of our healthier lives. The hypnosis made the difference. It has changed both, our mindset and attitude toward living healthier. The cost is well worth the investment towards living a healthier and happier life. Thank you Positive Changes. read more

I researched PC before I came in . I thought a lot about the causes of my weight gain. I wanted something that would stay with me. When it comes to spending large sums of money I can be very skeptical. I recognized the sales pitch in the first interview, but I was looking for a way to get my mind on board with weight loss. I had taken a hypnosis class at SCC, which was also focused on weight loss. I had lost more than 10 pounds after that. So I believed it could work for me as a long term weight loss technique. I have lost more weight since I joined PC. But better yet I have a different attitude toward food, exercise and health. I am also more relaxed and confident. To me it was money well spent. Do your research to see if it works for you. It is not an easy answer but for me I think it will be a long term permanent answer. It is about really changing your lifestyle not just loosing weight. read more

So you want an easy and healthy way to lose weight.? Want to say goodbye to the negative reasons you put the weight on in the first place? Then come join me at Positive Changes Hypnosis. I've been a member since the middle of January 2014 and have a pantry and refrigerator that no longer call to me after dinner. The "come here and get me " voices have moved out. I've learned to eat smaller portions and have lost the cravings of snack foods. It's been amazing how easy it is now to make the right food and exercise choices. I no longer have to flavor my water to get the 8 glasses I need and going to the grocery store is a breeze. I urge you to give it a try. The old cliche "what have you got to lose" certainly fits Positive Changes. The people who work there are all friendly, positive and professional. This has been an incredible weight loss program, one I can use the rest of my life.. read more

I just finished my program at Positive Changes. I loved it! I lost 48 lbs :-) It was such a different experience. And I mean that in a good way. I really have tried just about everything - I'm 51 years old and believe me you can try a lot in that amount of time. What I think is so great about the program is that is really did feel easy. I went in once per week and listened to my sessions from home to reinforce my new thoughts. I don't have the sugar addiction I used to have I exercise about 3-4 times a week now and I never did before. The difference is that now I want to exercise. I never did before. I used to crave sugar, but I just dont care about it now. I know there are a lot of diets for people to choose from, and if you are great with a diet, more power to you. For me...i just couldnt stomach the thought of another one. I am completely thrilled with Positive changes! read more

I have been going to Positive Changes for one month and what a fantastic difference in such a short time. Everyone is so friendly and helpful from the hypnotists to the front desk. Makes going there even more enjoyable. I am in the weight loss program and have seen some remarkable changes in one month. Food and sweet cravings substantially diminished and I am more active. I sleep better than I have in 35 years. I am more clear headed and can focus better at work. I feel better mentally as well as physically and in just one month. I have watched their advertisements for a couple years and finally decided to try it and I am thrilled I did. I drive 45 minutes one way once a week and am happy to do it. It is one appointment I love to go to and will never miss. I love, love, love Positive Changes. What a perfect name for them! read more

I joined positive changes to loose weight. i joined right after thanksgiving. i wasnt so sure about it but i only have one kidney and i need to stay healthy. you get to tell them what your current challenges are. one of mine, is that i was addicted to diet coke. not good for 1 kidneyI tried to drink a diet coke the next day and it didnt taste good to me. i have not had another sip of diet coke since that first session. my weight loss is going slow but steady. I had to go out of town for 5 weeks and i didnt have my sessions with me. i had a slight set back, but i didnt do bad for the time off. i still made decent choices. im glad to be back to listening. the sessions that they have at the office are very helpful. they are all about ME... my positive attitude is great. this process has helped me to be kinder to myself and others. read more

First and foremost, the people at Positive Changes are fantastic and so friendly. They go out of their way to learn people's names so you feel right at home when you walk in the door. The atmosphere is family-like and comfortable so it is easy to relax. The sessions are really good. I never expected the good sleep I would experience with the hypnosis, but it is a terrific side effect. I have also noticed a change in my outlook on things, I am more positive even though things don't always go my way. I am learning to deal with things outside of my weight struggles and that is also another side effect I wasn't expecting. You may go in there with one expectation, but you get a lot of wonderful results you weren't expecting. I would recommend this to anyone with any sort of issues to work on, not just weight loss. Thank you. read more

The staff is very friendly and the hypnotists have been very knowledgeable about a variety of subjects from weight loss to fitness and have given me some good advice. At 5 weeks into my 6 month "contract" I have not lost the weight I thought I would by now but I have noticed a huge change in my attitude towards eating and life in general (so has my husband). This program truly is not a diet, but a brain change, and that's exactly what I need. Once I realized it's about changing a lifetime of bad habits (without feeling guilty), I started to become less concerned with the amount of weight I've lost (or not lost) in 5 short weeks. My only real critique to this point is the cost - - it's a little more expensive than I thought it would be. read more

This was a great way to start my retirement positively healthy. I was a heart patient on several medicines a day & my cardiac doctor was amazed at my yearly results. Now I'm down to only two prescriptions a day! I've lost over 60 pounds & have a body mass index in the normal range for the first time in more than 50 years! Even my husband & my daughter have lost more than twenty pounds each. Their recommended food list coupled with healthy lifestyle suggestions that have taught us all a happier, healthier, more positive life. Thanks to the staff for all the support I received in just nine months. read more

As a client at Positive Changes for eight months, I'm most impressed by the extraordinary professionalism by all who work at the center. From the hypnotists to the office staff, I'm treated with respect and dignity. Everyone has an encouraging attitude and truly wants to see me succeed at my weight loss. I am five pounds away from my goal of losing 50 pounds, and I can truthfully say it is a direct result of the expertise of those employed by Positive Changes. My experience has exceeded my expectations, and I would recommend, without reservation, the programs that they offer. read more

I started back in November and to date I have lost 30lbs and went from a size 20 to a size 14. I have struggled most of my life with my weight and I have even had gastric bypass not once but twice. It took awhile for me to realize. I had the tool but need to "fix" how I used it. After starting Positive Changes, my family, friends and co workers noticed right away I was changing my habits. I no long snack at my desk and have a positive attitude that I can finally do this. I thank Positive Changes for this. I am grateful they came into my life. read more
