Stop Mindless Eating with Hypnosis

...without relying on willpower or totally depriving yourself.

Turn Off the Snacking Autopilot

You swear it'll be just one bite... and then suddenly the bag's empty, and you're not even sure why.

​The problem isn't YOU.

​It's an automatic comfort pattern your brain learned.

​And because it learned to snack mindlessly, it means we can teach it something new.

​Hypnosis helps you stop the snacking on autopilot so you can find yourself immersed in the moment... without needing to feed it.

What if you could simply...
erase that old urge to snack?

When it comes to trying to stop mindless snacking on your own, most people try to control themselves through conscious effort.

Maybe you simply tell yourself over and over again, “I’m just going to resist that delicious temptation.”​

Perhaps you even keep a food journal and tell yourself to notice when and why you snack.

Or maybe you even keep healthy foods around but still find yourself overindulging, even while telling yourself the whole time, "I really should cut back."

But even if you’re successful “resisting the urge” using the willpower route on your own...

It doesn’t necessarily erase the feeling underneath the urge to pop open a snack and nibble.

And of course, you can play the game of gatekeeping snacks in your house, which definitely works… when you’re at home.

But what about when you’re at a social event? Or at the movie theater?​

It all becomes an even bigger problem because now you’re still left with with that uncomfortable feeling:

Never quite satisfied.

It's Not Just About "Controlling an Urge."

And it’s not JUST about addressing the habitual pattern (although that will change as a result too)...

It’s really about addressing the emotional patterns underneath the behavior so that the craving simply falls away.

And because you’re here on this page, you’ve probably realized that you won’t be awarded any gold medals for depriving yourself of satisfaction.

And I want you to ENJOY foods - not punish yourself by resisting them...

But if you’ve ever felt like you “understand” your patterns
but still can’t stop repeating them

It’s not because you’re lazy.
It’s not because you’re not trying hard enough.

It’s because insight alone isn’t always enough to shift what your body still believes is true.

​Until your nervous system feels safe...
It’s going to keep choosing survival over calm
—no matter how self-aware you are.

How to Stop Mindless Eating

If you want to effectively stop mindless snacking for good, it's important to...

  • Spot the sneaky block

    Identify the hidden emotional pattern underneath the urge to snack - not just try to control the behavior itself.

  • Break the loop

    Surprisingly, because your brain learned this loop of mindless snacking… we can interrupt that old loop and begin to teach it something new.

  • Anchor new patterns

    Once we’ve cleared out the block that was holding you in that old snacking pattern, we can now “install” new behaviors - naturally and easily. Without that old feeling of deprivation or “resistance.”

How Hypnosis Stops Mindless Snacking

Hypnosis stands out as the obvious solution to finally help you stop mindless eating because we go so much deeper, beyond just the surface-level behavior…

And finally resolve the nervous system patterns driving the urge to snack.

It works by tapping you into the part of your mind that used to find indulging irresistible and erase the old triggers so that you can teach it new patterns of behavior.

Easily. Naturally.

So, instead of forcing yourself to resist the urge through sheer willpower and discipline…

That old urge simply becomes a distant echo… and eventually disappears completely.

Hypnosis helped me completely change not just my relationship with food but my relationship to myself and the world around me.

And I’ve made it my mission to help you do the same.

Hi, I'm Jessi McAnelly.

I’m not just here to help you change the way you think and feel about food. We’re going to do it in a way that doesn’t feel like force or resistance.

My passion is helping you feel empowered not only in your choices around eating. I want you to feel empowered in every area of your life.

Hi, I'm Jessi McAnelly.

I’m here to help you remember what it feels like to feel safe in your own skin.

Not just for a few minutes during breathwork or in a yoga class.

But in the middle of your Tuesday. In the car. On the couch. At work.

Where you can feel grounded, clear, and calm — without forcing it.

This isn’t about “fixing” you.

It’s about helping your system recognize that it’s okay to let go of what it doesn’t need anymore.

​If part of you is thinking...

“What if I can’t relax enough for this to work?”

or “What if this is just another thing that doesn’t stick?”

— that’s exactly the part we work with.

​Hypnosis doesn’t bypass your fear... It helps your system stop bracing against it.

You don’t have to be “ready.”

​And you don’t have to force calm.

You just have to be willing to stop carrying it all by yourself.

“I just love food too much to give it up.”

If part of you is thinking, “I’m afraid hypnosis will make me give up my joy in eating…”

Don’t worry - this is a common concern people have when they come to me for help!

Hypnosis is actually the ideal solution because we’ll get specific on YOUR goals so that you can still enjoy the foods you love… just without going overboard or feeling deprived.

No more guilt. No more shame.

And if you still have questions, that's normal. It's always a little weird to try something new. That's why I put together...

  • Interrupt the urge before it turns into a binge and break the autopilot cycle before your hand hits the snack bag.
  • Flip the switch from "I need it now" to "Eh, I'm good." Whether it's chips, cookies, or rich leftovers in the fridge, reset your internal "want" signal.
  • Stop negotiating with yourself at midnight in front of the fridge. You already know how THAT conversation ends, so try this instead.
