About Peter McLaughlin, CHT - BlueSky Hypnosis
Peter McLaughlin, CHT brings over 15 years of experience as a certified hypnotherapist specializing in weight management and behavioral change. BlueSky Hypnosis offers a unique approach to weight loss that addresses the subconscious patterns and emotional triggers that often sabotage traditional dieting efforts. Located in the charming village of East Aurora, our practice provides a peaceful, supportive environment where clients can explore and transform their relationship with food.
What sets our practice apart is the understanding that lasting weight loss begins in the mind. Through specialized hypnotherapy techniques, we help clients overcome emotional eating, eliminate food cravings, boost motivation for healthy choices, and develop a positive body image. Our approach is completely natural, non-invasive, and works alongside any medical treatments you may be receiving from other healthcare providers.
Services Offered
Our weight loss hypnotherapy services center around personalized sessions that target the specific psychological barriers preventing your success. We use advanced techniques including regression therapy to identify the root causes of overeating, positive suggestion therapy to reinforce healthy behaviors, and visualization exercises to help you envision and achieve your goals. Each session is tailored to address your unique challenges, whether they involve stress eating, portion control, exercise motivation, or breaking free from yo-yo dieting patterns. Beyond individual sessions, we offer specialized programs for different needs including smoking cessation (which often accompanies weight loss journeys), stress management, and confidence building. Our comprehensive approach may include self-hypnosis training, guided meditation techniques, and personalized audio recordings you can use at home to reinforce positive changes. We also provide group hypnosis sessions for those who prefer a supportive community environment and find motivation through shared experiences with others on similar journeys.
Treatment Options

Comprehensive package including six hypnotherapy sessions, personalized audio recordings, self-hypnosis training, and ongoing email support for questions.

What to Expect
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation where we'll discuss your weight loss history, current challenges, and specific goals. We'll explore the emotional and psychological factors that may be contributing to your struggles and design a personalized hypnotherapy plan tailored to your needs.
Typical treatment involves weekly sessions for 6-8 weeks, though some clients see significant changes after just a few sessions. During hypnosis, you'll remain conscious and in control while accessing your subconscious mind to install new, healthier thought patterns and behaviors. Many clients report reduced cravings, increased motivation to exercise, and a more positive relationship with food within the first few weeks. We'll also teach you self-hypnosis techniques you can practice at home to reinforce the changes.
Why Choose Peter McLaughlin, CHT - BlueSky Hypnosis
Hypnotherapy offers a unique advantage because it addresses the root psychological causes of weight struggles rather than just the symptoms. Unlike restrictive diets or intense exercise programs, our approach feels natural and sustainable because it works with your subconscious mind to create lasting behavioral changes. Many clients are amazed at how effortlessly they begin making healthier choices once we've addressed the underlying mental patterns.
Peter's extensive training and years of experience ensure you're receiving the highest quality care in a professional, comfortable environment. Our 5-star rating reflects the consistent success our clients experience. The natural, drug-free approach means there are no side effects or health risks, and the techniques you learn can benefit many other areas of your life beyond weight management, including stress reduction, improved sleep, and enhanced self-confidence.
Insurance & Pricing
While most insurance plans don't cover hypnotherapy services, we accept HSA and FSA payments for qualifying expenses. Individual sessions are priced at $125 each, with package deals available for multiple sessions that provide better value. Our 6-session weight loss program is available for $650, which includes personalized audio recordings and self-hypnosis training materials.
We believe in making our services accessible, so we offer flexible payment plans for clients who need them. Many clients find that the cost of hypnotherapy is less than what they were spending on various diet programs, supplements, or gym memberships that weren't providing lasting results.
First-Time Patient Tips
Before your first session, spend some time reflecting on your weight loss goals and what you hope to achieve through hypnotherapy. It's helpful to identify specific triggers that lead to overeating or poor food choices, as well as any previous positive experiences with weight management that we can build upon.
Come to sessions with an open mind and willingness to relax and engage with the process. Hypnosis requires your participation and cooperation - it's not something done 'to' you, but rather something we do together. Practice any self-hypnosis techniques we teach you between sessions, and be patient with yourself as changes unfold. Some people experience immediate shifts while others notice gradual improvements over several weeks. Trust the process and maintain regular session attendance for best results.
