Hypnosis for a weight loss mindset

Andrew from Birchville

One of the last things I did in December, before breaking up for the holidays, was to attend an interview with the Editor of Diabetes NZ Magazine.

The article, due for publication in March 2025, will talk about how I use hypnosis to help people with diabetes to stick to the diet plan from their Dietician, and stick to the health advice from their Doctor, plus a few other things too. (You'll have to read the article to find out what those other things are!) I'm looking forward to seeing my name in print (again), and can't wait to see it in March. I will of course post a link here when it's published

Meanwhile...

You don't have to be diabetic to benefit from hypnosis to maintain your healthy, weight-loss mindset. Maybe you have another health condition that would improve with weight loss, or maybe you just WANT to lose weight by choice?

I live in Upper Hutt, from where I see hypnosis clients online from all over NZ and overseas, too. You are welcome to contact me with any questions you may have, or call me on ++64 211532508 when you're ready to start your hypnosis weight loss journey

Here's to your journey

SPCA asking dog owners to vaccinate their pups

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Are you a dog or puppy owner? SPCA are urgently calling on you to vaccinate them against parvovirus.

Are you a dog or puppy owner? SPCA are urgently calling on you to vaccinate them against parvovirus.

SPCA New Zealand say:
We’re seeing more and more cases of the highly contagious and potentially fatal canine parvovirus (parvo) around the country as we face a third outbreak in as many years. Parvo can remain on surfaces for up to a year, so dogs are at constant risk if they’re unvaccinated, or if their vaccinations lapse. Please ensure your dogs are protected against this heartbreaking illness, and book your vaccines and boosters as soon as possible. It could be the difference between life and death.
Read more about the current outbreak and the dangers of parvo on our website:
