My name is Gary Maddison and I am a fully qualified, registered hypnotherapist.  I live in Oldham with my wife and three children and my private practice is situated in Ashton Under Lyne.

I left the Armed Forces in 1999 due to my son having a major operation and for the next few years my weight went from 13st up to just over 19st.  I then after being told by my doctor that I had high blood pressure decided that I would lose weight and get fit again. 

So I joined a gym and followed the Atkins diet.  I did this for about 3 months but the diet was so strict that many times I would find myself eating things which I shouldn’t have been. 

Still overweight six months later and my gym membership a distant memory I then thought that weight watchers might be the answer.  I soon discovered that it wasn’t. 

Then it hit me.

Why didn't  I use the techniques which I had used to increase my confidence before I joined the army in order to lose weight. 

I had finally ‘cracked’ it.  My weight started to come down and the most amazing part about it was, I wasn’t dieting or depriving myself.

In was also a turning point in my life because without a proper career since leaving the forces there was only one thing now that I wanted to do.  That was to help people to lose weight using the techniques which had worked so successfully for me.

So in 2006 having becoming fully qualified has a hypnotherapist I opened my very own hypnosis practice. 

From there I began to teach the techniques which had worked so successfully for me to paying clients.  It is these clients I have to thank because it is their successes and sometimes failures which allowed me to improve my techniques and develop new ones.

Now I want to pass on my discoveries to other people so that they to can break free from what I call the diet cycle.
