The upcoming weight-loss weekend retreat at the beautiful Hartness House Inn will, literally, CHANGE YOUR MIND (and, of course, your body!).  This program is a must for those people who are tired of all the diets that didnt work.  If youre TRULY MOTIVATED  to change eating and exercise habits, this weekend of hypnosis sessions will change your life.

The hypnosis sessions are coupled with food and exercise tips, and you will enjoy food prepared from simple recipes you take home with you.  Youll exercise by walking in beautiful Spring weather by the meandering Black River.  Youll learn self-hypnosis to continue your good habits when you leave
the Hartness House.

Says Judith Edwards, the dynamic program leader, Imagination is stronger than willpower.  When willpower and imagination are at war, the imagination always wins.  Hypnosis makes the subconscious, through suggestion and imagination, circumvent the conscious.  This changes you mind, and you!

Judith Edwards is a clinical social worker in private practice with individuals, couples, families and groups.  She is a popular lecturer on a wide range of topics, calling on her performing background to enliven her presentations with humor and charm.  Her workshops in hypnotherapy for weight loss, smoking cessation and stress management have been highly successful for participants.  Ms. Edwards holds advanced professional certifications in hypnotherapy and nutrition, in addition to her advanced certificates in congnitive/behavioral therapy.  She believes strongly that mental and physical health are ONE subject, and that hypnotherapy can help facilitate changes that are otherwise lengthy and difficult.
