Calvin Banyan, M.A., B.C.H., C.I., F.N.G.H., Ct.H.A.

Hello!

Thanks for visiting my website.  Let me tell you a little bit about myself.

I first became interested in hypnosis as a child, when listening to my grandmother tell me stories about her brother, my Uncle Ward who was a hypnotist. That turned out to be the beginning of a lifelong interest in psychology, philosophy and theology, which as resulted in my professional career in hypnosis and hypnotherapy.

I know some of you want to know more so please read on.

Thanks again for stopping by,
Cal Banyan, MA, BCH, CI, FNGH

At the Banyan Hypnosis Center for Training & Services Hypnosis Really Works!

I didn't feel good about my self at 290 pounds.

Dear Friends, Yep that's me.  I'm about 290 pounds there and I thought that I would eventually explode, because I just kept gaining weight.  Then, I became my own experiment and applied what I had been learning from my clients (while they were in hypnosis) to myself.  I used this unique understanding of food addiction and hypnosis on myself.  Now, I've lost about 60 pounds to date (1/2001) and continue to become slimmer.  I learned how to beat the fattening compulsion of eating out of emotions like boredom, stress, anxiety, frustration and just being tired.   Now I lose weight and I never feel hungry or deprived!  Questions?  Give us a call.
