If you've struggled to lose weight permanently you probably know the internal fight that comes with this. The diets, the self judgement and the confusion about what do to do it real. The self sabotage can be real.

Your commitment
Are you ready to make some life-changing shifts? This is not an easy journey but you can do it.
Research shows that people find weight loss hypnosis effective when they are ready. Prior to embarking on this program, it is essential that you truly want to change and feel ready to commit to following the steps of the program.
You need to back yourself and put yourself first and forward. It's time to start seeing what emotional patterns are driving you, and rebuild a healthy relationship with food.
Diet + Mind for best results
Your clinical nutritionist will be able to guide you through permanent dietary changes in a comprehensive weight loss plan. This is a long way away from ‘fad diets’ – rather we want to instil some practical principles that will help you to feel your best and towards a healthy weight.
We can look at what you like to eat, how you like to eat and what changes need to be made. We can talk about specific foods for your individual health picture – for example, if you’re eating something you’re reacting to it will inflame you and impair your weight loss process.
It's not about being on a diet, it's about learning to easily choose a healthy diet, and really get what that means.

What to expect from your weight loss program?
This weight loss hypnosis program focuses on the four pillars of hypnosis for weight loss.
This first session of hypnosis will work on reframing and re-creating the thoughts, emotions and behaviours that are keeping you stuck and establishing new healthy new habits. We can only reach our ideal weight when we address the beliefs and emotional patterns that are holding you back.
Creating the energy and the feeling of you, the person who embodies these healthy new habits and rituals. Our experienced hypnotherapist Gary will help you to build a vision you can see and work towards day by day.
Releasing the old stories about who you think you are and how you see yourself in the world -and transforming this into what is empowering, wise and true for you. Those extra kilos can sometimes change our perception of self and even make us hate who we are. We are going to rewrite your stories and change your life without dieting.
Learning what true comfort is for you, and how to meet those unmet needs and practice filling your cup in healthy, positive and abundant ways. This is a powerful tool that leads to long term weight loss, and a renewed love for yourself and your own body.
What our clients say...
Megan Usher2024-03-27I can’t speak highly enough of Katherine and her team. Since my husband and I have been seeing Katherine, our physical and mental health has rapidly improved. Which has impacted our relationships and the general mood of our household. I have personally seen many doctors for my symptoms, but it wasn’t until I started to see Katherine that I truly began to understand my body and start the healing process. I have experienced a dramatic improvement after taking the herbal medicines. My husband had been told by every doctor and specialist that he was totally healthy, and yet he was severely struggling with his symptoms. Katherine was able to identify the reasons for his symptoms very quickly, and he too has experienced a big improvement. I know we still have a way to go, and changing habits can take time. But we are so grateful to have found the Shift Clinic and to finally feel like we are getting somewhere with our health. Katherine’s podcast ‘The Shift with Katherine Maslen’ is also an eye opener and very informative! I have learned so much about the women’s body through listening.Di Bailey2024-01-29My daughter referred me to Vanessa Coben as I was experiencing gut issues and was unable to detect or remedy my problems. Vanessa advised me to take on challenges in gut testing and bloods to determine the direction I needed. Vanessa's regular appointments, diagnosis and herbal formulas have exhalted my confidence in a healthy gut. Vanessa is professional, caring, understanding and a very gentle soul. I recommend her to anyone experiencing same problems as I had. I also recommend Shift at Brisbane Natural Health as their staff and administration are warm and friendly inviting a welcoming atmosphere to clients. All the best to everyone at Shift.Michon van Staden2024-01-12Katherine and the team at The Shift Clinic were super supportive, friendly and welcoming. After 6 months of treatment with Katherine, my energy is back and my immunity is stronger!Vicki Machan2023-10-22I stumbled across Katherine Maslen and her aptly named Shift Clinic through a podcast by Shelly Craft of The Aging Project. Katherine spoke with passion about gut health, which was an area I have struggled with for over a decade. I looked her up and booked an appointment for an assessment and couldn’t get there fast enough ! I was excited and confident that this time I was going to see a change. I wasn’t wrong. The most amazing thing about the Shift Clinic is their team, who are embracing and supportive and work as a collaborative unit. I was ‘project managed’ through months of healing, both physically and holistically. I was introduced to a form of ‘therapy’ I’d never even considered when I met Jess, the clinics Intuitive Healer, who helped me unpack and resolve some personal issues that were roadblocking my emotional progression forward. This complemented my gut healing progress that was being managed so well by both Katherine and Vanessa. I would never have found Jess if not for Katherine, or entertained the idea of something so ‘left field’ for me. The whole experience of being with Shift has been healing, nurturing and uplifting. I’ve progressed on a physical and spiritual level, they’ve educated me on myself, and the team are now an integral part of my life I won’t be leaving behind. I enjoy immersing myself in the tranquility of the clinic, the genuine warmth of the girls at reception when I arrive, the soft music, the herbal tea brewing. It’s like a big, warm hug. I can’t thank them enough or recommend them to enough people. They have changed my life !Nicole Ann2023-07-28There probably isn't enough space to write the long review that Katherine and the whole team at The Shift Clinic truly deserve but I'll start with this. You saved my life. Words will never be enough to express how grateful myself and my family are for the journey that I continue to be on with my healing and growth. The Shift membership is one of the best health models on offer in the world and when things were incredibly dark at my lowest, I was able to receive the help needed from all of my practitioners at the clinic who all knew my history at every appointment without having to continually tell my story from the beginning. It is so beneficial as a patient that all of you work together to heal people. Not only have you all helped lead me towards the light of health, you've been giving me the tools needed to understand how to grow and heal myself. The added bonus I wasn't expecting is how I'm now healing my own home too. The work you all do is changing lives. Thank you for changing mine. I am eternally grateful. XxSteven Creevey2023-04-18I started seeing Shift during the Covid pandemic and I was struggling with my overall health. I found the team to be very supportive and focused on the job of assessment, ongoing regular support and providing me with the best supplements and advice for my various health challenges. Thank you Shift and Vanessa for all of your help and guidance.Brendan Vasen2022-12-09Katherine is wonderful and helped me get on the right track with my diet and healthy eating definitely RecommendIzzy Tanzer2022-12-05I couldn’t recommend The Shift clinic and especially Dr Vanessa. After being diagnosed with an auto-immune disease my body felt like it was crashing and I needed help. I would not be where I am today without the help from Dr Vanessa and the knowledge she has passed onto me. She made the process easier and was always there for support when I needed it. The clinic is such a beautiful space and you feel calm as soon as you walk in. The receptionists were always so lovely and helpful and explained the membership process easily. Thank you so much Shift Team xCath 712022-07-04It would be fair to say that the last two years, in particular, have been a challenge for me personally. After battling with any number of illnesses over a long period of time, my partner of six years entered a period of rapidly declining health and was deemed a multimorbidity patient. As a result, our planned wedding happened much quicker than expected & I gave up my job to become his full-time carer before he passed away. During his decline my sole focus was him, in some ways to the detriment of my own health and whilst I acknowledge that grief played a major part in some of my weight gain, I also know that I’d developed bad habits over many years; snacking, emotional eating, convenience eating, living a mostly sedentary lifestyle to name just a few. If the loss of my husband taught me anything it is that life is too short and that our health matters! I needed to find something to help me rediscover joy in my life and to help me feel like my old self again. Following a personal recommendation and some google research of my own I came across The Shift Clinic. Having always been an advocate of natural therapies I thought this could be just what I needed to help me find my way back to lightness – physically and emotionally. I joined the 8-week weight loss challenge and I’ve not looked back. My appointments with Hypnotherapist, Rebecca and Naturopath & Nutritionist, Carolyn have provided me with the tools to; identify self-sabotaging behaviours, acknowledge all parts of me, start small, set realistic and achievable goals, feel supported, get back up when I fall, move – even if it’s only for 10 mins at a time, celebrate small wins, stick to the plan and remember that anything is possible. 8-weeks down the track I’m just under 10kg lighter physically. I’ve still got more weight to lose but for the first time in a long time, I know I’ll achieve it because the biggest ‘shift’ for me has been in how I think and how I feel, the routines & rituals I’ve put in place and the way I speak to myself. The Shift Clinic really can help you ‘shift’ you just have to be willing to let it.

Finally, the power of the mind through hypnotherapy allows you to make the changes to lose weight effortlessly. After a few months, you will look back and realise just how successfully you have built new positive habits into your life and how much better you feel about yourself.
In most Western cultures, food is much more than fuel for our bodies.
We eat when we are celebrating and we eat when we’re commiserating. We see food as a treat, a reward, or even an edible piece of art. We also use food as a distraction – and it can be both our friend and our enemy. Read more about why weight loss is such a big deal here.
Sometimes our “it’s complicated” relationship with food can interfere with healthy and nourishing eating habits; causing weight gain and a multitude of other health conditions.
There is often a very real battle going on for people on a daily basis and it manifests around food – while the actual battle is being waged deep down in our unconscious.
Our hypnotherapy for weight loss program can help you find your triggers, deal with them and find new ways to spend your time and energy.
When you think of hypnosis, you may imagine what you’ve seen on TV during stage hypnosis or in a movie. Clinical hypnosis is very different, and it can’t make you do anything that you don’t want to do. It’s not mind control at all.
When you’re in hypnosis, it is called being in a trance state or hypnotic state. Trance is like being in deep meditation. It uses guided deep relaxation, concentration and focused attention to achieve heightened awareness. Your body will be relaxed and you’ll usually feel calmer. These benefits alone are often an enormous relief from the symptoms of anxiety, stress and negative thinking.
In this relaxed state, you can access your subconscious mind – those deeper parts of yourself that are sometimes not immediately apparent.
Over 90% of your mind is subconscious and this is where our most deep-seated beliefs and values are stored. By accessing this part of ourselves, we can treat you and help you to make significant changes.
Sometimes part of our treatments is about helping to release emotions and past traumas so that you can heal and begin to think, feel and behave differently.
It is in the safety of the relaxed state of hypnosis that our patients can successfully process any triggers around food and treat their concerns directly.
This means you can begin to build a bridge between the person you were in the past, and the habits that did not serve you – and the person who makes different choices feeling calm confident and in control.
Our service is very different to using free hypnosis apps like a lose weight hypnosis app or weight loss hypnosis app. We offer a tailored, personalised approach with unbelievably supportive health Care to help you lose weight.
For most people, self-sabotage and the resulting negative self-talk is the biggest impediment to sustained weight loss. We often have the part of us that wants to succeed, to be motivated and to feel healthy and happy, yet too often we have another part that would rather sit on the couch with Uber Eats. This part can lead to eating disorders and diet yo-yo-ing.
A combination of coaching and weight loss hypnosis suggestions to overcome overeating, emotional eating and cravings work to help your motivated and determined parts come into focus.
Weight loss hypnosis is one of many areas that has been used over and over again very successfully to shift and keep the momentum for people wanting to lose weight. It helps you recognise the core issues that are perpetuating your unhelpful exercise and eating habits.
Hypnosis apps can only do so much for you. The best hypnotherapy for weight loss is a one-on-one appointment, like what we offer at the Shift Clinic (face-to-face or online) to truly unpack why you are unable to lose weight or keep the weight off.
The main reason our hypnosis sessions are so successful is that they are tailor-made for your lifestyle and your own unique issues.
In a focused, yet relaxed, hypnotic state you will unconsciously take on board suggestions in a way that incorporates your own personal goals and preferences. When we are working in this space it entails very little conscious or deliberate effort on our part.
The main reason hypnosis for weight loss is successful is that it becomes your own personal program. Hypnosis ensures that the suggestions you are open to taking onboard become well and truly fixed into your unconscious mind.
This is a powerful treatment. It is not just a quick fix. With the verbal repetition of positive and motivating suggestions, nothing and no one can divert you from having the relationship that you want with your body, your choices and what you consume.
