Let’s be honest…
If weight loss were about knowing what to eat, you wouldn't still be struggling.
Most of the women I work with are smart, capable, and disciplined - yet feel completely confused and frustrated when it comes to food, sugar, and weight in midlife.
If you've ever searched:
“Why can't I stop craving sugar”
“Why am I gaining weight in perimenopause?”
“Why does emotional eating feel out of control?”
“Weight loss hypnotherapy Brisbane / NZ”
…you’re exactly who I help.
I specialise in supporting professional women age 35–55 across Brisbane, Australia, New Zealand, and online who feel trapped in cycles of cravings, emotional eating, dieting, and self-blame, especially during periomenopause, burnout and high stress.
This isn't a willpower problem.
It's a nervous system + subconscious pattern issue.
If this feels familiar, you’re not alone…
You might be experiencing:
- Strong sugar or carb cravings
- Emotional eating when tired, stressed, or overwhelmed
- Late-night snacking
- Weight gain around the middle
- Feeling "out of control" with food
- Yo-yo dieting
- Guilt or shame after eating
- Using food and/or alcohol to cope or soothe
- Thinking about food more than you want to
And quitely wondering...
“Why can't I just be normal with food?"
“Why can't I just be normal with food?"
There’s nothing wrong with you.
Your body is responding to stress, hormones, habits, and subsconscious safety patterns - this is not failure.
Weight Loss Needs A Different Approach in Midlife
In perimenopause and high-stress seasons, your body prioritises safety, not calorie burning.
This means:
- elevated cortisol
- blood sugar instability
- emotional eating loops
- increased cravings
- stubborn weight
Until your nervous system feels safe, traditional diets and exercise often backfire.
That's where hypnotherapy becomes powerful.
Virtual Gastric Band (VGB) is an option for Weight Loss
Virtual Gastric Band hypnotherapy (often called VGB) is a powerful technique that helps reduce appetite, portion sizes, and emotional eating by creating the internal perception of a gastric band - without surgery, restriction, or risk.
It works by calming the nervous system and retraining your relationship with food, helping your body feel satisfied sooner and respond differently to cravings - especially during perimenopause or high stress.

Why Hypnotherapy Helps
Hypnotherapy works at the level where eating habits actually live, the subconscious mind.
Instead of fighting food, we:
calm stress responses
reduce emotional triggers
stabilise cravings
change automatic behaviours
rebuild trust with your body
Women often tell me:
"Food doesn't control me anymore."
"The cravings just... stopped."
"I finally feel peaceful around food."
"I'm losing weight without obsessing."
This is for you if...
âś” Diets haven't worked long-term
âś” Food feels emotional, not logical
âś” Sugar feels addictive
âś” Stress makes everything worse
âś” You want weight loss without shame
âś” You're navigating perimenopause or burnout
This is not about restriction.
It's about reconnection.
