Please take a moment to read this before deciding to work with Linda.

How Long Have You Been a Certified Hypnotist?

I became a certified hypnotist in 1992 and hold certifications in hypnosis from St. John’s University, Springfield, LA, and the National Guild of Hypnotists, Merrimack, NH. As the owner of Linda Allred LLC, and former owner of Baton Rouge Hypnosis Inc., I have had great success helping thousands of people with weight loss, stress reduction, smoking cessation, and improving their nutrition. My greatest passion, however, is helping women lose those extra pounds they’ve been burdened with for years.

Did You Always Know You Were Going to Be a Hypnotist?

To answer this question, I will share with you two of my defining moments and “my story” that brought me to where I am today; using Self-Hypnosis to coach women on how to lose weight and most importantly keep the weight off, and how to improve their health by adopting a sensible whole food nutritional program. I teach women how to stop eating unhealthy foods by becoming a smart lady “Nutrition Detective” and end their “love affair” with carbs and sugars and begin a new “love affair” with fruits and vegetables.

Well, I Guess the Best Place to Start is at the Beginning. Here’s My Story…

Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would grow up to be a hypnotist. After being in the field of human resources for 17 years, I was then recruited to go to work for a Home Health Agency in Denham Springs, LA, as their Human Resources Director. Two weeks later, the owner of the Agency, a master degreed RN, called me into her office and told me that she had just become certified as a hypnotist. She wanted me to introduce a fellow hypnotist who was coming in the following week to train the staff. The Agency was going to do Self-Hypnosis sessions for pain management under doctor’s orders. I could feel my chest tightening. All I knew about hypnosis was that it was hocus pocus and made people quack like a duck. I went home that night and did not tell my husband, Don, about the hypnotist coming to train the staff, but I thought to myself, “Oh boy, this may be the biggest blunder of my life.”

The next week, the hypnotist, Dr. Arthur Winkler, came to train the staff. As I sat watching him teach us “The Laws of The Mind” (how the conscious/subconscious mind works), I was amazed.

Dr. Winkler did some powerful hypnotic demonstrations that proved to me beyond a shadow of a doubt that I had the power to change my life for the better if I chose to. The demonstrations that he did were extremely impressive!

These demonstrations changed my life. This was my ‘AHA’ – my defining moment. I finally got it. My subconscious mind that makes up 90% of my thought processes seeks to meet my deepest needs, desires and expectations, and my imagination is more powerful than reality. It really is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Your subconscious mind will do anything within its power to make your thoughts real for you. Then I realized that a lot of the time I was thinking negative thoughts such as, “I am dumb, I am stupid, I am a failure, I am fat, I am worthless, and I hate myself.” What a wake-up call for me!

I finally understood that I was the programmer of my own mind and the captain of my ship, and that I could steer my ship anywhere that I wanted to go. All I had to do was learn to train my “inner critic” to be my best friend, and practice some new principles for 28 days. By doing this, my subconscious mind would respond to my thought changes, i.e. “I am self-confident, I am slim and trim, I am in control, I walk thin, talk think, think thin because I am a thin person all day every day!” I decided to make an appointment with Dr. Winkler the next day.

interview1

I became fascinated with the mind/body connection and enrolled in Dr. Winkler’s hypnosis certification program. I had only planned to take the first course, but soon found myself wanting to learn more.

Once I understood how my mind worked I made a checklist of all of the goals that I wanted to achieve. I am happy to say that learning how to use Self-Hypnosis and understanding “The Laws of The Mind” helped me succeed in achieving all of my goals listed below:

• I overcame the stress, fears, and anxieties that I suffered with for years.
• I improved my self-confidence and self-esteem.
• I got rid of my battle with insomnia.
• I improved my learning skills and memory enhancement so that I could study and become a certified hypnotist.
• I got rid of those unwanted 40 pounds and have kept it off ever since.
• I overcame my fear of going to the dentist that I have had since I was 3 years old.

I knew after working with Dr. Winkler and seeing these major improvements in my own life, I wanted to share the power of Self-Hypnosis with other women who were struggling with some of the same issues that I had been battling with for years. I felt deep down within my heart that God had had me walk this path so that I could teach others, like me, what I had learned. I wanted to help my clients understand that there is nothing to be afraid of when using Self-Hypnosis. It is not hocus pocus. It really is a very beautiful and gentle way for you to stop the negative self-talk that you have been giving yourself for years, and learn to give yourself positive suggestions. In essence, what I really teach my clients is to dehypnotize themselves from negative self-talk and learn to give themselves positive self-talk. When you learn to do this, any goal is possible! So that is how I “grew up” to be a hypnotist.

How Does Self-Hypnosis Work?

ALL hypnosis is Self-Hypnosis just in case you didn’t know. You have free will to accept the suggestions you are given or reject them. Although there are many definitions of Self-Hypnosis, Dr. Arthur Winkler, one of my hypnosis mentors, helped me understand it in the following way. Each day we use electricity in some form. We may not know exactly what electricity is or how it works, but we use it for many necessary things such as light and heat for our homes. When asked the question, “What is electricity?” Thomas Edison replied, “Electricity is. Use it.” It is not necessary to know HOW Self-Hypnosis works in order for us to use it.  Self-Hypnosis and its benefits are there for the taking.

Self-Hypnosis is a life-time tool. Once you’ve learned it, you own the most powerful resource for personal change and relaxation that exists. And once it is yours, no one can ever take it from you.

Will I Be Asleep Through the Process?

First off, Self-Hypnosis is not a sleep inducing treatment. Forget what you’ve seen on television about hypnotists swinging watches and making people act silly on stage. You cannot be made to say or do anything that you don’t want to do – it’s that’s simple. You’re in charge of the session and can stop anytime you want.

Can Self-Hypnosis Work for Me?

If you have an open mind and are willing to give me 100% of your commitment and cooperation, then I will do the rest. I’m positive you’ll be excited with the results from our sessions.

What if I Can’t Be Hypnotized?

In all of my years of hypnotizing thousands of people, I’ve seen very few people not be able to enter into the necessary state of relaxation so that Self-Hypnosis will work.  As long as you can hear the positive suggestions you are given on your Self-Hypnosis Power Session CD’s, Self-Hypnosis will work for you. However, if you are drunk, “stoned,” or on drugs that cause changes in behavior and perception, or if you are mentally impaired, Self-Hypnosis may not work because you will not be able to hear the positive suggestions you are given. If for any reason our session doesn’t work for you, I’ll gladly refund you your money.

Can Self-Hypnosis Help Me Lose Weight?

Most definitely! Self-Hypnosis evens out the emotional aspects of going through the major lifestyle changes necessary to lose weight and keep it off. It also helps you to focus on your ultimate weight loss goals and keeps you on track during the process.

How Quickly Will I See Results?

This all depends on how fast you wish to take the weight off. In my programs you can either take a gradual approach, let’s say losing 10 pounds in 3 months, or you can accelerate the pace and lose weight faster in a shorter period of time. I strongly advise my clients to choose the program that feels like a good fit for their lifestyle.

Do I Have to Eat Only Lettuce Leaves and Diet Food?

Only if you truly love lettuce!  Using my advanced nutrition system (please visit my Juice Plus+® website at www.LAllredJuicePlus.com you’ll find endless options on how to incorporate healthy eating habits into your lifestyle quickly and easily. You may even find that you will start to enjoy eating healthy nutritious food and pass up that chocolate fudge triple scoop sundae! And yes, this IS possible as many of my clients have verified!

Self-Hypnosis teaches you how to become self-reliant and stay motivated. You feel totally in control of your own destiny and results at all times. Hypnotic suggestions merely allow you to learn, grow and be more focused on the end result rather than dwelling on the path it takes to get there.

Self-Hypnosis is the quickest and easiest way that I know of to change behavior patterns or break bad habits such as overeating, stress or smoking. Learning Self-Hypnosis is a life-time skill that you can use to rid yourself of any habits you wish to break. I tell my clients that learning how to use your mind in a positive way is the greatest gift that you can give yourself.

What Personality Type do You Work Best with and What do I Need to do?

Weight Off NOW! Get Healthy – Get Happy Self Hypnosis Bootcamp™ was created for women who are serious about getting rid of the extra weight they have been carrying around for years. They want to feel in control of their eating behavior and are tired of ‘yo-yo’ dieting. They are tired of losing and gaining all of their weight back over and over and not getting the results they want and deserve. They are ready to stop making excuses and accept total responsibility for their actions. They are willing to embrace Self-Hypnosis as a life-time tool to help them keep focused and motivated towards achieving their goals. They want to feel better about themselves, have more self-confidence, and have more self-esteem. They also want more success and balance in their lives, so when they put their head on their pillow at night they can feel relieved knowing that they have a simple plan to follow to give them lasting weight loss results and the right MINDSET to get to where they truly want to go.

How are You Different from Other Certified Hypnotists?

I am different from other certified hypnotists because I am not a “generalist” (one that works in all areas). I am an “expert” in weight loss and devote 95% of my time in that area alone; spending the other 5% with stress management and smoking cessation clients. Another way that I am different is I ONLY work with women (and on occasion a few men who truly want to lose weight). My goal is to help my clients get their lives in balance, adopt new mindsets (learn Self-Hypnosis and “The Laws of The Mind”); build a healthy, strong body (learn to reduce stress, improve sleep, and eat healthier); and enrich their spirit (learn to like themselves and love themselves by helping to increase their self-confidence and self-esteem). By doing this they have the opportunity to reach their full potential. Since I personally struggled with being 40 pounds overweight (I was a junk food eater, experienced high stress, insomnia, and low self-esteem) and tried every new diet available, only to fail over and over again, I know all about this vicious cycle! This makes me uniquely qualified to understand the frustrations my women clients feel and also enables me to offer them hope (and results!) that by learning Self-Hypnosis and incorporating “The Laws of The Mind” they can be successful.

How did You Become a Wellness Coach?

I became a Wellness Coach after my second defining moment happened – a stroke in February of 2000, which left my husband, Don, unable to drive for over 6 years.
interview3I am happy to say that Don is now driving again. However, this life-changing event sparked an interest “big time” in wanting to learn what Don and I had done wrong and how could we continue to live a healthy lifestyle and prevent a second stroke. As a result of my renewed interest in nutrition and wanting to improve the health of ALL the people I meet, I became a marketing consultant for a whole food based product called Juice Plus+® (provides the nutrition from 17 different fruits, vegetables and grains in a convenient capsule form).

For the last five years, I have also done a monthly, fun, eye-opening, and life-changing Healthy Lifestyle “Sugarholic” Workshop where I educate my clients and workshop attendees how to become a smart lady “Nutrition Detective” and learn to end their “love affair”  with sugars and carbs and begin a new “love affair” with fruits and vegetables. Watch my website for upcoming dates of when I will be providing this powerful teleclass workshop online. I invite you to visit this site and see some of the remarks that the workshop attendees have had to say. So that is how I “grew up” to be a Wellness Coach.

Linda’s VIP Weight Off NOW! Customized Mentorship Coaching Program

Could you have written this story?

Today is THE day! You’re going to bravely start a new diet, full of determination to finally shed that unwanted (and unloved) weight that you’ve been carrying around for ages. You’ve made up your mind that enough is enough and those pounds have to go.

So, for about a month you count calories, carbs, portion sizes, watch your sugar intake, and religiously refrain from eating everything and anything you think may cause you to gain even a fraction of an ounce.

You get on the scales and Eureka! You’ve lost at least 5 pounds! You do a ‘happy’ dance of joy… and then go out to dinner to celebrate.

However, next week you notice that you’ve eaten a few cookies here and there and devoured a couple of fast-food meals because after all, you were in a hurry, you were hungry, and your favorite burger place was directly on the route you take every day to go from your home to work.

Three more weeks pass. Then suddenly 4 of those lost pounds have somehow mysteriously crept back on your body… and you lose hope.

Now what do you do?

That’s where my 3-month VIP Weight Off NOW! Customized Mentorship Coaching Program steps in to save your sanity AND your waistline!

Just think of my private, exclusive VIP Weight Off NOW!
