NEW COURSE!  Gastric Mind Banding: first time ever in the GCC! Led by Martin and Marion Shirran, founders of the original Elite Clinics and authors of 'Gastric Mind Banding' and 'Pause Button Therapy' (PBT), who have created a huge impact in the international media with their alternative approach to weight reduction and healthy eating, with many client case studies, including celebrities, to evidence the success of their technique.

They will be teaching their method to hypnotherapists, doctors, health professionals and wellness coaches working in the field of weight management. Virtual gastric banding uses a combination of hypnotherapy, CBT and NLP to change perceptions about food and promote healthy eating habits with success rates that are equal to, or exceed, gastric banding surgery and without the many risks of the surgical procedure. With growing rates of obesity and some of the worst rates of diabetes in the world, this course is a great opportunity to take a more holistic and educational approach to the issue of weight and food.

What our clients say:

“Best thing I have spent my money on in ages! You are brilliant!! Not had an urge for a ciggie since switch-off on 2nd session. Still not smoking although I've been in loads of situations where I would normally reach out and grab a few but I have been fine and dandy!! The course absolutely exceeded my expectations and objectives to stop smoking and relax more. It was great talking to someone completely outside of your circle of family and friends, so you could really let go and have a good chat and chill out. I have recommended this treatment to many of my colleagues and friends. Thank you so much for your help.”

"An exciting and immensely rewarding journey for me personally and professionally. It clarified everything I had already learned and further deepened my knowledge of the human psyche, emotional conflict and disorders and explored clinical hypnotherapy and other therapeutic modalities providing us with a more comprehensive and identifiable set of tools in our therapy 'tool box' that are accessible and adequate for use in our sphere of practice. I am now more aware of each client's individuality and therefore therapy requirements."
