"Little did I know how all-encompassing James Barfoot’s approach to weight loss would be. He goes far beyond the expected hypnotherapy sessions but also includes tips in regards to your eating habits, your food choices, how to prepare simple, nutritious meals for a few days in advance, and more."

"His hypnotherapy sessions are augmented with additional recordings as well as biweekly follow-ups on your progress. James and his office provide a warm, welcoming and relaxing atmosphere for his coaching and hypnosis sessions."

It is The Path to an Intentional You and is as varied as each one of us that chooses to walk it. My own path has been both challenging and rewarding.  I would change nothing as even the most painful and heartbreaking moments have served to shape who I am today. Truth is that it took me a long time to fall in love with that guy in the mirror. I do not always approve of his behaviors but I do accept him just as he is - a work in progress. It is my own unique journey that empowered my successful approach to behavior change and how I discovered that the blending of the following two elements is the key to lasting change. No long-term change occurs without them​.

​Step 1: Clear Intention

• It's more than goal setting or visualization, which are valuable tools that point us in a direction. What Clear Intention does is help us create a new story.
• Clear Intention cuts to the core of who and what we are about. It grounds us in a purpose beyond all of life’s distractions. 
• It is from this sense of purpose that we summon the duty and devotion to begin to operate in a new way.

Step 2: Creation of a New Story

• Each of us has a story that we repeat to ourselves daily. Studies show that more of us tell ourselves a negative story than a positive one.
• This story often leads us to focus on the things we don’t want, blocking us and leaving us stuck! Stuck in a life we neither desire nor deserve.
• What hypnosis does is help us create a new story. The messages are delivered directly to the subconscious mind and support our actions to create our desired change.
• The old story soon moves into the background and a new one that aligns with our clear intention takes shape.
• This process is one of creating and unfolding ourselves into a new less resistant life. We begin to feel a sense of freedom and new found possibility.  

Through the continuation of this cycle of change, we enter a new stage of awareness that supports our transformation on all levels.  ​Ready to create an intentional change? Book a Session.

Weight Loss

​You will be relieved to discover that hypnosis is from my experience the most effect way to finally be rid of your weigh concerns for good. It is important to acknowledge that you have never had a weight problem it’s a really a weight symptom. The habits and behaviors that have accumulated over the years are the cause so that is what we need to address. Life gets in the way for most of us and we begin to choose convenience to compensate for this busyness. Hypnosis helps put things in perspective by empowering us to make our productive behaviors more convenient. Weight loss is best suited to an approach such as the Intentional Body program. This comprehensive 3-month activation plan includes an intention creation session/hypnosis sessions/coaching sessions and support materials to keep you aligned with what you truly want.

Smoking Cessation

This smoking cessation program is designed to address your urges with a two-step approach. We send you our cessation activation kit to be used up to a week before your first session, along with instructions for digital down load of your recording. During our first 90-minute session, we identify associated habits and behaviors that have kept you from being smoke free in the past. These are addressed by giving you new routines and tools that will not only take away the urges but leave you feeling refreshed and renewed. Though often not needed we have included the second 90-minute session to ensure that you leave here fully equipped to be a non- smoker, a clean air breather.

Optimal Health

This is a foundational attitude shift that helps us create a lifestyle change that will get us back on track before we have strayed too far. This program includes an intention creation session, 2 personal coaching sessions and 2 personal hypnosis sessions over 8 weeks. 
This will help you learn to nurture yourself in a way that will leave you feeling refreshed and renewed.

Freedom from Stress, Anxiety, Phobias, Insomnia and Alcohol
​

Many of these may simply be viewed as symptoms of our modern lifestyle. We tend to move throughout our days in a heightened state of awareness, our fight or flight mechanism either partially or fully engaged. We will learn how to reset the switches and regain control of these reactive patterns. All of these are under the umbrella of the Intentional Mind- 3 month activation program. All change is a function of time and practice. ​

The Tools You Need to Succeed

This series of conscious talks is available to all members at no extra charge. These will help you understand the process of behavior change in a way that will leave you nodding your head in agreement and perhaps saying it’s so simple yet you missed it.
The act of bringing more awareness to your behaviors without judgement will yield results. You will learn that your F.A.U.L.T.S. may soon become your greatest asset. Remember that Focused-Awareness-Ultimately-Leads-To-Success and use this tool to transform your life.

24/7 Support

My programs include an online collection of resources which you can access any time to support your progress. Listen any time to your custom sessions or visit our Members Area for a growing library of instructional materials, downloads, general audio sessions and even motivational videos.
