Hypnotherapist Rita Wege

Rita Wege has an island of tranquility perfectly suited to what she uses it for. In the idyllic Shoreacres area, Wege makes her services as a registered clinical hypnotherapist available to the public. She is also a qualified practitioner of neuro-linguistic programming.

An Ottawa native, Wege has been in B.C. for 30 years, 18 here in the Kootenays."I'm a birdwatcher," she says, "I like hiking, skiing... all those things that other people come here for."

Hypnotherapy is a long-standing, well-accepted course of treatment with many applications.In a prepared press release it is stated that since opening last April, Wege has helped many people in areas such as smoking cessation, removing allergies and fears, sports performance, pain relief and building confidence.

The most popular goal among her clients, however, is weight management.  Wege says it's important to point out people are always in control during a hypnosis session.“Hypnosis is a very natural state involving focused attention” she relates, “and it is similar to the state people are in when they watch a movie, drive somewhere and then don’t remember the trip or when simply brushing their teeth.”

Wege agrees that the demand for services such as hers, in a changing world with ever-growing levels of stress, is increasing.As effective as hypnotherapy can be, Wege asserts that it must be accompanied by a strong desire for constructive change.   "Hypnotherapy is not a magic pill," her press release states.

"Clearly identifying goals, learning stress management and increasing motivation, self-confidence and self-esteem is a process. Wege likes to assign reading, listening to podcasts and homework to speed up therapy, and help her clients develop positive and healthy daily habits. The number one criterion for success is motivation."

Set up and ready to help her clients get closer to where they want to be, Wege enjoys a lot of career-related satisfaction. "Life changing" is how she describes her own step of getting involved in the field of hypnotherapy.

"Hopefully I'll be able to pass that along to other people."“All hypnosis is self-hypnosis” concludes Wege, “I’m simply the guide. The majority of my practice is spent taking people out of the negative trance they are in and putting them into a positive, happier state of mind.”To find out how hypnotherapy can help you reach your goals contact Rita at rwege@telus.net or call 250-359-7234.
