Hypno-puncture

1st Thursday of Month
(no sessions this summer)
Sep 2, Oct 7, NOv 4, 2010

Weight Loss

 

Preregister (by end of previous month) $45

Day of workshop: $60

 

7-9pm

 

 

There are three reasons people eat when they are not hungry:

- habit (can be controlled with conscious will)

- emotional stress (an unconscious process controlled by hypnosis)

- body cravings (acupuncture can address these).

We'll use light, natural trance-work to speak to the stress issue , and ear acupuncture to lessen the physical cravings.

 

With this kind of support your chance at achieving your weight goals greatly increases.

 

I wanted to let you know that I'm down 10lbs. I've still got quite a good bit to go but whenever I feel off track I listen to the tapes. I also joined a local gym and am still walking every weekend with my friend. We're up to 5 miles! Keep me in the email loop. - SMU

 

I find myself making better decisions about food. I've carved out a space for exercise and I'm sleeping and relaxing better. I like my "seed" and find myself reaching for it for additional support even when I've washed it away. I'm very pleased with the Hypnopuncture sessions. ND

 

 

 

This two hour class is an experiential introduction: you'll learn about hypnosis and experience a light trance and find out about what acupuncture can do for you.

 

(Following through on your weight-loss regime may take a follow-up sessions. Students in this class will be eligiable for an ongoing hypno-punture support group, which you can attend any time you want support ($30/hourly session with discounts on packages of 3 or more sessions.)

 

This class sells out quickly.

Hypno-puncture

(no July or August group)

Stop Smoking

 

 

Preregister (by 2nd Thursday of month) $45

Day of workshop: $60


 

Only about 25% of smokers who try to quit on their own succeed.

 

This number more than doubles by adding the use of hypnotism, which can help by removing the unconscious drive to smoke.

 

Add ear acupuncture, which can decrease the physical withdrawal symptoms, and your chance at succeeding easily and safely greatly increases.

 

This two hour is an experiential introduction: you’ll experience a light trance and find out about what acupuncture can do for smokers, so you can decide whether or not this process (which usually takes about four sessions) is for you.

 

(Following through on your program to become a non-smoker may take a follow-up sessions. Students in this class will be eligiable for an ongoing hypno-punture support group, which you can attend any time you want support ($30/hourly session with discounts on packages of 3 or more sessions.)

Sleep Disorders and Apnea

 

 

Preregister (by 1st Thursday of month) $45

Day of workshop: $60


 

 

 

 

Sleep is a form of hypnotic trance that we go into every night, so hypnosis is an excellent tool for helping with sleep disorders.

 

You'll be given post-hypnotic suggestions which will help you relax and enjoy a refreshing night's sleep, and you'll be sent a tape which you can listen to in bed to help you fall asleep.

 

We've reversed Sleep Apnea in clients using hypnosis as well.

All of us at Creative Acupuncture of Mt. Airy (CAMA) are excited to welcome you to become part of our healing community! Elise Rivers and her growing staff of acupuncturists, herbologists and healers were the first to bring this kind of community-style, cost-efficient ($30-$45) acupuncture to Philadelphia (see newspaper clipping) way back in January 2005.

 

CAMA was inspired by the founders of CAN: Community Acupuncture Network in Portland OR. Their model is based on the way acupuncture was traditionally practiced in China, in a group setting, which allows us to provide affordable, long-term health care to the whole community. (We also have private rooms available when needed.)


We are committed to providing affordable healthcare that eliminates both the broken health care system's red tape and the insurance companies' inappropriate authority over your care. We want you to have the choice of an affordable, compassionate, effective, preventative, acute and chronic ailment care alternative; including: acupuncture, herbs and self-care education. We are an alternative for those who are insured, underinsured or not insured.

If the issues you're dealing with are complex and long standing, a session at Elise's private practice, Moon River Acupuncture, may be appropriate, please call for a free phone consultation.
