As a person who enjoys graphic design and have worked self-employed in the graphic arts industry on and off for 20 years, I have always been something of a 'traditionalist' in that I preferred to just create my marketing graphics and promotional materials in Photoshop. Now, although I still use Photoshop, it can take a while to create a mrketing template from scratch and - as much as I'd like to - I don't always have the time, or flexible priorites - that allows the creating of marketing and promotional materials from scratch. So, whaddya do? You use Canva! Now, I'm not a shareholder (does Canva even have shares? LOL), nor am I sponsored to create this post...heck, I'm not even a Pro subscriber. But what I am...is impressed by their tools. So, what is Canva? It is a free … [Read more...] about Free Marketing Graphics Tool (Canva)

A Weight Reduction Case Study
Read on to find out how one of our elderly clients achieved weight loss success on our The Slimming Guru programme - and how you can too. About Kelly Kelly is an older lady who had Type 2 Diabetes and had recently begun insulin treatment for this, resulting in a 28 pound (approx 12.5 kg) weight gain, in a very short period of time. Feeling quite dispondent, she decided to "give hypnotherapy a try". Baseline Measurements Kelly's baseline (starting) measurements were recorded and the plan was to omit week 2 measurement, because size/weight reduction can be slow to start for people who are post-menopausal - and also in diabetics on insulin treatment. We have found that delaying repeat measurements until the beginning of week 3 can increase motivation in this client group. Why not measure … [Read more...] about A Weight Reduction Case Study
New Hypnotherapist Directory Launched
We have now launched a hypnotherapist directory, which will (eventually) host a list of hypnotherapists from all over the world. This is a directory of top quality hypnotherapists who have many years of experience and/or formal qualifications or training in a relevant healthcare related field. Historically, when clients were looking for hypnoterapists, they would search for ones in their own, or nearby neighbourhoods. However, that was pre-Covid times and the world has changed significantly. Now, you can choose a hypnotherapist from anywhere in the world, because most of them offer online therapy. Advertising on a worldwide website is expected to bring you more enquiries and more sales (and experience) for you, because you can reach a significantly larger audience with a worldwide … [Read more...] about New Hypnotherapist Directory Launched
What happens when you stop focusing on weight
I can only really speak about fatness in British culture, as that is the culture which I've been part of, for the last 47 years. However, I do feel that identical outcomes could be expected for any Western civilised society. In British culture, fatness is classed as something which is easy to obtain, 'if only you tried hard enough'. It's often a difficult life, being fat in the UK. It can certainly be a lonely existence, living at the junction of fat bias and fat phobia, in the context of a capitalist society. This is even more apparent at the beginning of a new year, where it almost feels obligatory to tackle habits which impact our health - and life in general. And it is at this time of year that the 'capitalist machine' gets going full-fury, with the (predictable) increase in … [Read more...] about What happens when you stop focusing on weight
