About Cal Banyan

Calvin Banyan, MA, BCH, CI, DNGH, OB, MCPHI

Hello!

Thanks for visiting my website. Let me tell you a little bit about myself.

I first became interested in hypnosis as a child, when listening to my grandmother tell me stories about her brother, my Uncle Ward who was a hypnotist. That turned out to be the beginning of a lifelong interest in psychology, philosophy and theology, which as resulted in my professional career in hypnosis and hypnotherapy.

I know some of you want to know more so please read on.

Thanks again for stopping by,
Calvin Banyan, MA, BCH, CI, DFNGH, OB, MCPHI

At the Banyan Hypnosis Center for Training & Services Hypnosis Really Works!

I didn’t feel good about my self at 290 pounds.

Dear Friends,

Yep that’s me. I’m about 290 pounds there and I thought that I would eventually explode, because I just kept gaining weight. Then, I became my own experiment and applied what I had been learning from my clients (while they were in hypnosis) to myself. I used this unique understanding of food addiction and hypnosis on myself. Now, I’ve lost about 60 pounds to date (1/2001) and continue to become slimmer.

I learned how to beat the fattening compulsion of eating out of emotions like boredom, stress, anxiety, frustration and just being tired. Now I lose weight and I never feel hungry or deprived! Questions? Give us a call.
