Weight loss program comes to 'Tree of Health'

NEWTON — The Tree of Health Center (TTOHC) is offering a 24-week program, titled “Lean & Light Permanent Weight Loss” that utilizes Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) to release cravings and eliminate emotional eating. The program is facilitated by expert EFT practitioner, Debra M. Hollinrake, who has used this tool effectively in dealing with depression, anxiety, stress reduction, PTSD in vets and survivors of domestic abuse, and those suffering from physical ailments such as neck pain, fibromyalgia, and headaches. EFT is a form of cognitive therapy that draws on various theories of alternative medicine including acupressure, neuro-linguistic programming and energy medicine.
“Diets don’t work because it’s not about the food," Hollinrake said. "When we overeat or crave unhealthy but satisfying foods, we are looking for a way to ‘feel good.’ Uncover and release the reasons for this behavior, and you end the addiction to food and, naturally lose the weight.”
With this EFT program, participants will learn to reduce cravings, eat mindfully, build body positivity, release negative thought patterns, find out what really drives their hunger, and end emotional eating by breaking the effect that past trauma has on present behavior. The class allows for group support and step-by-step guidance to build a life-long practice of mindful and intentional action to sustain a healthy body and body image.
The Lean & Light Weight Loss program begins October 16 at 6:30 p.m. The program takes place at The Tree of Health Center, 55 Newton Sparta Rd, Unit 107, Newton, NJ. To learn more about Debra M. Hollinrake, this program, or to register, go to www.ttohc.com or call (973) 500-8813.
