Change Your Mind … Change Your Body

I have had clients that are interested in losing or managing their weight.
Some have only a few pounds to loose and others have a great deal of
weight to shed. It is truly an individual process, and one that needs to be
addressed as an individual issue. Some have done quite well, while
others loose interest, do not use new skills, lack patience, or were not
ready to begin the inner journey in the first place.

The effectiveness of relaxation, visualization, and patience with oneself
is real. The freedom in letting go  and letting the mind and body work
together is wonderful. I have used these skills successfully and know
you can enjoy the same success.  

I do not represent, nor do I receive any compensation from any
endorsement I make here. I am only sharing with you, what I myself have
used successfully, and instruct my clients to do if they so choose.
I am
not a medical doctor, a nutritionist, or physiologist. So feel free to consult as
many people as you want to in order to make a healthy decision.


When I first decided to select a program, I followed the Hilton Head
Metabolism Diet by Dr. Peter Miller. If you are more comfortable
following a set dietary schedule, I would recommend this program. It is
easy to follow and I was never hungry, once my body adjusted to the
diet. In one year I successfully shed more than 115lbs.. I was successful
in keeping the weight off for a couple years until I underwent three back
to back prednisone treatments for a respiratory problem.
Dr. Miller's
book can be found in bookstores and
amazon.com

I am sorry to have to disagree with medical personnel, but I know for a
fact that it is more than just keeping one's mouth closed and not eating,
as one doctor suggested. Every time I have needed that medication, I
can count on a 25-35lb wt gain. So I understand your frustrations and
setbacks.
This is one more reason why it is important to consult with
your doctor and have a plan in order to address medical concerns.


While listening to the radio one evening, I discover
ed the Gabriel
Method. He was saying what I knew to be true, and I liked what I heard. I
was interested in his approached and after purchasing his book, I was
hooked. I love it! I am able to modify it and still be successful following
Jon’s method, and I feel comfortable instructing my clients to do the
same. Read his book, identify the problem, work on the problem and
success is yours. His website is
gabrielmethod.com .

The exercise method I followed was and still is Gilad's Bodies in Motion.
I found it challenging all along the way and it helped tone and shape my
body. His website is:

My services will help with any therapy, enhancement of visualization,
and strengthening of skills that you may need along the way. The mind
is so powerful and beautiful, and as soon as the mind and body are
ready to work together, there is
no stopping you from reaching your goal.

If you are interested in more information about the program here at my
office please feel free to give me a call at (816) 436-2630 to set up an
appointment.

Before you start this program talk with your health care provider and let
them know what you are planning. Get input from them about any
limitations or health concerns for which you need to be aware.

When exercising ALWAYS listen to you body. Know when too much is
too much, and when you need to do a little more. Your mind and body
know exactly what to do to bring you to your healthy self.
