A free hour with Denise Billen-Mejia, MD (retired), Consulting Hypnotist at her practice, Akeso & Aglaia Hypnosis.
Saturday 24 October
11am EST | 8am PST | 4pm UK
On Zoom · About an hour, including questions · Free admission
Why willpower fails, and what is actually happening in the moment you find yourself eating standing up at the fridge
What hypnosis is, what it does, and what it does not do explained plainly by a doctor, without the stage show
Why the inner critic does not go quiet when the weight comes off, and what does quiet it
What changes first, and why it is rarely the number on the scale
Time for questions, asked anonymously in the chat if you prefer
Women who have done this before more than once and are tired of the version where it works for six weeks and then does not.
Women who would like to stop doing the inventory in the bathroom mirror, whatever the scale eventually says.
Anyone who is curious about what hypnosis actually is, asked by someone who spent a career in emergency medicine before she trained in it.
No diet
No food rules
No weigh-ins, measurements, photographs
Nothing to buy in order to take part
You will not be asked to say anything about your own body, and you're not required to have your camera on.

Denise Billen-Mejia spent more than twenty years as an emergency medicine physician. She trained in hypnosis in 2019 and is now Consulting Hypnotist at her practice, Akeso & Aglaia Hypnosis.
Denise works with clients worldwide by Zoom. She co-hosts the podcast Two Hypnotherapists Talking, hosts the radio show H2 — Health and Hypnosis, and is a co-author of Self-Care is Not a Mani-Pedi.
Free. Live on Zoom.
Everyone who registers gets two things afterwards: the recording of the talk, and a free hypnosis audio to keep and use at home. Both arrive whether or not you can be there on the day.
I do not run hypnosis live in a group online. With a screen full of faces I cannot watch everybody properly, and I would rather be able to, so the hypnosis comes to you as an audio you can use somewhere comfortable, in your own time.
Join Denise for a free, one-hour Zoom workshop on hypnosis, weight control, and confidence.
Your Zoom link will arrive by email. The recording and hypnosis audio will follow after the workshop, even if you cannot attend live.
