My anxiety related to exam performance was getting out of hand

I came to Margot with very little knowledge of hypnosis. She took the time to explain her philosophy and approach to hypnosis as well as the process we were going to follow that day. My anxiety related to exam performance was getting out of hand and starting to impede my personal growth. In only one session and a series of exercises to do at home, I was able to control what I thought was uncontrollable and move forward.

I carried the equivalent of two suitcases with me

It’s a year later, and I continue to be delighted with my progress with my weight management, a fact that was highlighted by a recent trip that I took. I had quite a large suitcase, and had already paid the airline to check it. I was very concerned that I was going to have to pay extra for an overweight bag, as I could hardly pick it up. When instructed by the agent, I heaved the bag onto the scale, and was floored to see how much it weighed. It was not overweight, but in fact weighed exactly half of the amount of weight that I have lost during the last year. When I arrived home, I carried the bag up to my room, placing it a step above me, then moving myself, then the bag, then me. I was struck by the fact that for the past number of years, every single step that I took every single day, I carried the equivalent of two suitcases with me. So, if you have some extra “baggage” that you’d like to lose, talk to Margot!

I absolutely could only eat half of my plate

Yesterday I was “fine dining” with my husband to celebrate Valentine’s Day and our 25th anniversary. I drank water before the meal and after each bite. This restaurant is not renowned for big portions. In fact, it used to be the opposite. People often found themselves still hungry after eating there. I absolutely could only eat half of my plate, a very little bit of dessert and just no more. I never ask for "doggie bag" at these high end places. Tonight, I simply could not let my wonderful beef tenderloin and the creative veggies go to waste. So, I did. I only ate 1/2 or even 1/4 of the appetizer and 1/2 of the main course. The food was exquisite. I just did not need more. It was great to sincerely enjoy every bite and know that I did not feel the need or the desire to have to eat it all. I know now that my appetite has really shifted. Honestly, this would not have been possible for me before.

I didn’t always remember my postal code, now I see myself as a person with a great memory

When I stood, stark naked, staring blankly at the lock on my Dalplex locker I knew I was in trouble! The combination on a padlock I’d been using for 10 years had disappeared into a mind mist! True, at age 66 and 5 years into retirement, I didn’t always remember my postal code or the name of the book I was reading, but having to ask staff to cut my padlock so I could get dressed… that was the beginning of the end! After just 3 sessions with Margot, I’ve developed a new confidence and see myself as a person with a great memory. I give myself a pat on the back when I do remember, instead of beating myself up when I don’t! I actively look for “memory jobs” so I can exercise my memory using the visualization techniques Margot taught me. And though I could have bought a new lock with a key, I chose a combination lock!

I stopped eating all salty snacks

When I joined Margot's Weight Loss Program and was a bit skeptical of hypnosis but I thought, why not give it a try. I was 30 pounds overweight and had no energy. I was depressed and all I did was watch TV and overeat, especially potato chips or anything salty from a bag! I had been a fitness instructor for 26 years so I knew what I should be doing but did not have the ambition to do it. I was in a "RUT"!!! After just one session with Margot, I stopped eating all salty snacks from a bag, cut my TV watching by more than half, and I had energy to do the things I had been putting off for a long time. As well I reduced my food portions to half and already notice a difference in how my clothes fit! The positive suggestions Margot gave me have given me the drive and energy to get out of my "RUT" and lead a more positive and healthier lifestyle. Margot made me feel very comfortable and gave me the encouragement I needed to change my life for the better. I am truly amazed at the results and would highly recommend hypnosis with Margot.

Craving colourful, healthy life-giving foods...

"I'm only 2 weeks into the Weight Loss program with Margot and I'm constantly surprised by how well it is going. I'm drinking lots of water. I see a big change in my portion size. I no longer eat late at night. Even my dog is happier, because she senses that I am and I enjoy walking her more than ever before. In hypnosis, I was given the suggestion that my craving for rich, heavy, greasy, sweet and fattening foods would just float away and be replaced by a craving for juicy, colourful, healthy life-giving foods. Well guess what? When I went grocery shopping and walked towards the produce section of the store, I couldn't believe my eyes... it lit up just like Christmas. It was as if the red, yellow and green peppers were alive. The asparagus looked so good I could have eaten it right there. When I went around the outside of the store, I literally ran from the ice cream department. I high-tailed it out of there. "

Birthing Caroline was the most beautiful time in our lives

It's still hard to believe how flawless the labour and delivery was, it makes me cry just thinking about it. We're adjusting well to our new life as parents. Nursing Caroline is a whole new journey. I continue to use my calm breathing to help me through the challenging times. Birthing Caroline was the most beautiful time in our lives. Hypnobirthing provided the tools and confidence needed to let nature take its course in life's greatest moment.

New Year's resolution to prioritize my health

"I came to Margot with a New Year’s resolution to prioritize my health. This meant eating right, and exercising consistently. I have made these goals in the past, but would quickly lose momentum and return to my old ways. I sought Margot's aid to try to alleviate these patterns through hypnosis. In our first session we created clear, concise goals of what this looked like for me. Margot has impeccable client care. She is understanding and encouraging. She checked in via email after every session, and made sure that I was still following my goals and the protocols from our hypnosis sessions. It has been 4 months since our first session and I am exercising daily and making healthy food choices. Even better, the self defeating chatter that goes along with a wellness journey is no longer. I am 15 pounds lighter, more confident, and overall I feel like I am walking on a steady path. Thanks Margot!"
