That's why there are no diets at Positive Changes!

Mind-Over-Cancer™
Being diagnosed with cancer is in itself a stressful event—so stressful it can suppress your immune system. Fortunately, through guided relaxation, you can let go of your fear and anxiety. Creative visualization can help spark your immune system's natural killer cells and maximize your medical treatment. If you are ready to join the ranks of people who have discovered the mind/body connection and its healing potential, then the Mind-Over-Cancer series is definitely for you!

Hypno-Delivery™
Bringing a child into the world is probably the most amazing and life-altering of all human experiences. Yet, for many women the joy of the experience is lost due to fear, stress and pain. With the discovery of the mind/body connection, however, women have an alternative—hypnosis. You will be taught to use the power of thought before and during delivery to create an anaesthetized feeling that transforms pain into pressure. This program is designed to help the mother-to-be relax, let go of stress, and enjoy the entire process of pregnancy, delivery and early motherhood.
