A New Way to Weight Loss

Weight loss is a common struggle for Americans, but Sioux Falls Hypnosis is here to help people lose weight once and for all.

Daniel Burow spent two decades as a C-suite executive with several of the largest behavioral health service providers in the United States. After returning to Sioux Falls he decided to focus solely on helping clients through hypnosis, opening his practice over a year ago. Sioux Falls Hypnosis is focused on physical health, with programs specializing in weight loss, smoking cessation, and stress management.

“To me, this is about making a real difference in people’s lives. This impacts people’s health, their family, and their ability to work,” Daniel said.

When people are trying to lose weight, Daniel says they often times go through a cycle of shame and guilt, end up having a bad day, and ultimately give up and gain all the weight back.

“People that come in who want to lose weight need to know that they’re okay the way they are and that they can forgive themselves, love themselves, and have success,” Daniel shared.

When Sharon Melvin-Weisensee started working with Sioux Falls Hypnosis earlier this year, she had already been through many different programs and admits she had been through the cycle of shame and guilt several times. She was unsure what to try next, and then she met Daniel. She did a free consultation with Sioux Falls Hypnosis, something offered to new clients to see if they are a good fit for the program. Sharon made the decision to lose weight and within six weeks, she lost 23 pounds. Overall, she has shed 35 pounds since starting the program in March 2021.

“I was in awe after the first session,” Sharon said. “The hypnosis program is easy, fun, and so relaxing.”

Sharon shares that she is also less stressed, feels young again, and understands how to work through the bad days so they don’t derail her weight loss goal. Because of the hypnosis program, she no longer has a fear of failure, one of the reasons she was unsuccessful in losing weight in the past.

Daniel says hypnosis is an effective treatment for weight loss because it’s not about therapy – it’s about learning. Hypnosis helps people let go of negative thoughts and move toward growth and acceptance. Daniel explains that life is a process of trial and error – everyone makes mistakes, but all that matters is that you can accept yourself and keep moving toward what you want.
