Services Offered
Our hypnotherapy services focus on reprogramming subconscious eating patterns and beliefs about food, body image, and self-worth. We offer individual hypnosis sessions targeting specific issues like emotional eating, binge eating, sugar cravings, and portion control. Our weight loss hypnotherapy program includes guided imagery exercises, self-hypnosis training, and personalized audio recordings for home practice. We provide cognitive behavioral therapy techniques to address negative thought patterns and develop healthy coping strategies. Stress reduction hypnosis helps manage cortisol levels that can contribute to weight gain. We also offer group hypnosis sessions for motivation and support. Our smoking cessation program often coincides with weight management since many clients gain weight when quitting smoking. Additionally, we provide counseling services to address underlying emotional issues that may contribute to eating disorders or unhealthy relationships with food.

What to Expect
Your journey begins with a comprehensive intake session where we explore your weight history, eating patterns, emotional triggers, and previous weight loss attempts. We identify specific goals and the subconscious beliefs that may be blocking your success. During hypnosis sessions, you'll enter a relaxed state where we can access and reprogram limiting beliefs about food, body image, and self-worth. Each session includes personalized suggestions and visualization exercises. You'll receive custom audio recordings to reinforce the work between sessions. We typically recommend 6-8 sessions for optimal results, with sessions spaced 1-2 weeks apart to allow integration time.
Why Choose Ruth Anne Lundeberg, Hypnotherapist

Ruth Anne's extensive training in both hypnotherapy and counseling provides a unique combination of skills that most weight loss providers lack. Her compassionate, non-judgmental approach helps clients feel safe exploring sensitive issues around food and body image. We focus on creating lasting behavioral changes rather than temporary willpower, which is why our clients maintain their weight loss long-term. Our success rate is high because we're addressing the root psychological causes of eating behaviors.

We accept several major insurance plans for counseling services, and many clients can use their mental health benefits for our sessions. Hypnotherapy sessions may be covered under some plans as complementary therapy. Initial consultations are $120, with follow-up hypnotherapy sessions typically $90-100 each. We offer package rates for our complete 6-8 session weight loss program. Payment plans and sliding scale fees are available for qualifying clients who need financial assistance.
First-Time Patient Tips
Before your first session, take some time to reflect on your weight loss goals and what you hope to achieve through hypnotherapy. Think about your eating patterns, emotional triggers, and any past experiences with dieting or weight management. There's no need to start any special diet before beginning - we'll work together to develop sustainable eating habits as part of your program. Wear comfortable clothing and plan to relax during sessions. It's normal to feel a bit nervous about hypnosis if you haven't experienced it before, but rest assured that you'll remain in complete control throughout the process.
