I also am a member of the Soil Association based in Bristol which promotes healthy eating solutions and businesses selling  good food. My connection here is that I also can support clients seeking WEIGHT MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS using Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, with excellent resources to pull from to assist better eating habits. http://www.somersetfarmersmarkets.co.uk  GIFT VOUCHERS WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR YOUR LOVED ONES AND DISCOUNTS FOR THERAPY ARE AVAILABLE TO THOSE BOOKING on the day at any event I attend, EITHER  A COURSE OF HYPNOTHERAPY or a relaxing Reiki session. LET'S GET THE MOST OUT OF LIFE BY ENJOYING IT - FREER FROM STRESSES and with more knowledge of how to help ourselves. Consider also, that you may attend the doctors, dentists, physiotherapist etc. regularly but how about checks on your MENTAL HEALTH regularly, your mind is after all an important part of YOU. PRESS RELEASES:  Hypnotherapy can help you make New Year’s Resolutions that last How long do your New Year’s resolutions last?  Hypnotherapists often report an increase in enquiries during March and April when people’s commitment to New Year’s resolutions has worn off.  Many turn to Hypnotherapy to help them lose weight, give up smoking or achieve other important goals. “Part of the problem,” says Julia Croft, a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist, “is that people tend to focus on external outcomes without addressing what’s going on inside”. “Weight management is a classic case in point.  Some people think that once they lose weight they will be happy.  They struggle with various diets and lose heart when the weight piles on again.  The chances are, they are struggling with internal issues that need to be dealt with before they can take control of other aspects of their lives, such as their relationship with food, stress, work, money or family.”    visit www.afsfh.com for more. 2012 update: The AfSFH recently had a very successful AGM in January and member numbers continue to increase all the time. In addition, recent research by Insurance Company AXA indicates that stress levels have doubled in 4 years. According to the the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), stress is one of the most common causes of workplace absence costing the UK economy billions of pounds in lost productivity.
