Have you ever felt like food controls your thoughts, your mood, or even your self-worth? Are you constantly battling shame after eating something “bad”? What if the real problem isn’t food at all, but how you’ve been taught to think about it?

For many, dieting becomes a cycle of restriction, guilt, and rebellion. You follow the rules during the week, only to spiral into bingeing on the weekend—then beat yourself up for “failing.” The shame builds silently, reinforcing the belief that you just don’t have enough willpower.

Melissa knows that pattern all too well. For years, she woke up thinking about food, struggling with guilt and punishing herself for not doing things “perfectly.” Even after trying other courses and hypnosis programs, nothing seemed to stick—until she found a radically different approach.

Through a blend of coaching, hypnosis, and mindset work, Melissa broke free from the shame-based cycle in just eight weeks. She learned to trust her body, stop labeling food as good or bad, and finally feel peace around eating. Her story shows that healing isn’t about more discipline—it’s about reclaiming your freedom.

"But there's nothing more powerful than the mind. That's right. And whatever you[Leslie] put into your hypnotherapy, it totally works. And again, I've done other courses and they did nothing for me and they were just a waste of money. But the way you[Leslie] structured it, it was exactly what I needed." - Melissa
