Over 20 years ago I began working with individuals who struggle with eating, food and weight issues; after overcoming my own decade long struggle with emotional overeating, binging and yo-yo dieting, and achieving and maintaining a 50 lb weight loss. Growing up I had a healthy attitude about food and eating habits and was comfortable with my body.
Once thought of as a hokey stage show, fortunately scientists have done the research to give us the facts and the good news; this type of therapy is now known to be one of the most effective ways to create emotional and mental change and allow us to transform our thinking, our habits and behavior and, ultimately, our lives.
Hypnotherapy and counseling for eating and weight-loss is therapy that is specific to changing your relationship to eating, food and weight, and ultimately changing your relationship with yourself. This process is a systematic method for change, versus traditional therapy. With each session, you receive specific tools and an understanding of how to make the changes you want to make.

I have almost completed Dr. Wansley's Hypnotherapy tapes at home and in addition to losing 37 pounds the HEALTHY way, I see food, and myself in a completely different way. Before this program, I viewed food as poison. Now I don't get overwhelmed or stressed about meal time because I've learned it's not the enemy, but a necessary, beneficial part of life. Life is a lot lighter now, and social settings are less stressful!

Dr. Mary Wansley has helped me find tools to use everyday to help me overcome binge eating. Her program has really helped me learn why I turned to food and how to make different choices without causing myself to spiral. I loved Candy...... and with her help I have not had it in 6 months, and I don't miss it. I still enjoy desserts (huge fan of chocolate) in a way that does not make me feel shame in eating things I enjoy. She truly has help shape my way of thinking to eat in a way that brings positive feelings towards food. It has helped me stop shaming eating, guilt eating, and like my body. I

Thus far, I am have completed four sessions of Dr Wansley's treatment, including hypnosis, and have had several major breakthroughs that I have been unable to achieve in the past despite other therapy and many, many self-help books. My perspective on nutrition and weight has been shifted in a way that I *know* I will no longer have my thoughts consumed by weight, dieting, shame, etc. which makes my journey one of continuous forward movement rather than two steps forward and one, two, or three steps back. In addition to the nutrition journey, she has truly helped me in other aspects through the

There could not be better program for me. I am very fortunate to have found Dr. Wansley and gotten unstuck from all the complicated issues that result from trying to correct compulsive overeating. Her program has brought a huge relief to my spirit absent all guilt, obligation, obsession, and negativity that comes with more traditional health and fitness teachings. She treats the disease, not the symptoms, which leads to long term success. Simple, common sense program. Highly recommended. Great value for the money.

I was tired of being on a diet my entire life and never losing weight. I was at rock bottom depressed, weighing the most I ever weighed and feeling worthless. I started researching emotional overeating programs and Dr. Mary Wansley website pulled up. I sent her an email on a Saturday expecting to get a phone call on Monday and with in an hour she called me.
I liked Dr. Mary as soon as we started talking and for the first time I had hope. Her understanding and ability to relate to my situation helps but her program and weekly sessions have taught me numerous life skills and tips to help me get

I found Dr. Mary through Yelp, so felt I had to write a review for her here.
I competed her 8 session program and was able to identify issues I've had since a very young child and see how and why those issues manifested into disordered eating.
Dr. Mary is motivating, supportive, knowledgeable, compassionate and understanding. She's been there! I always feel like a weight has been lifted after a session with her.
While I'm not "cured" of over 30 years of disordered thinking and eating around food, the changes I have made and see in my thinking about and eating of food

Dr. Wansley is phenomenal! After working with a number of ineffective therapists, I have been very fortunate to find Dr. Wansley.
I have been struggling with emotional eating for decades. Today I can say I finally have a grip on my relationship with food. Not only do I feel better about food, I feel better about me.
Each session is rich with valuable information and insight. She is sincere, caring and has been there to support me through every challenge. She gets it. She gets me.
I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone that has issues with emotional eating.

Mary has truly changed my life! She's an absolute angel on Earth! I'm a model and I was struggling with an eating disorder (bulimia, BED) for 8 years. It wasn't until I found Mary that I really had success in recovery! She really understood what I was going through and offered simple but truly life changing advice. She is genuine, kind, supportive, comforting, nonjudgmental, and she's there for you every step of the way! I text her whenever I'm having a moment and she always responds with the best advice and useful tips. Mary has helped me in every aspect of my life! She

I first went to Mary to lose weight, and I really have! I was skeptical at first because I didn't believe that Hypnosis could actually help me lose weight, but it really, really has. It was so easy with Mary.
But after the weight loss and during that process her approach was nothing short of a miracle for me. Mary has turned my relationship with food around! I have battled with a severe eating disorder all my life, and she has completely eradicated that! I have tried every imaginable diet and approach towards food and weight that exists and nothing ever even began to succeed, especially

I found Dr. Wansley during a troublesome time in my life when I was lost and confused in the world of dieting and exercise fads which drove me into a cycle of self hate and body shaming. Dr Wansley's approach is gentle and no nonsense. She will help you see the world in a different light and more importantly see yourself for what you truly are. I cannot thank her enough for guiding me and giving me the tools to keep my eating under control and to learn new ways to keep myself motivated to do the things I want to do without anxiety and self doubt. I am a changed person and she has helped me

I can't say enough good things about Mary! she helped me through feeling stuck and not knowing what my next steps were. Within a few sessions, I started not only noticing the changes in myself, but I also saw real life results. I really appreciate the big help she provides, in fact, I am very happy that I found here. She is truly special, she is very professional, caring, personable, I never felt judged and most importantly, she makes me feel understood. Thank you so much Mary!

I stumbled upon Dr. Wansley's program approximately three months ago and my life has forever changed. For anyone struggling with weight and body image issues, this is the program for you. It's a holistic approach to getting to the root of the issue to forever alter your relationship with food. It also teaches you to live free from the restricting dieting world some of us have learned to obsessively take part in. Dr. Wansley is such a kind soul and she always listens to what you're saying. I am, and will always be, grateful to have found such a great mentor and program.

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Wansley. What she offers is not a diet, but a wholesale different way of thinking about eating and self-improvement. She's more life coach than anything else. Her services are not cheap, but what I've gotten in return has been so worth it. I've really felt that she is invested in my success, and made herself available not just during appointments, but whenever I've wanted to check in via phone or text. And hypnotherapy (which I would have considered myself a skeptic of) has been absolutely effective. Thank you Dr. Wansley!

Mary has really helped me to establish different, healthful eating habits...and these are going to be lifelong, sensible changes. I live in So. Orange County, so I wondered how effective it would be to FaceTime my sessions. This has worked out very well, and I feel that the hypnosis sessions are very relaxing in my own home. I am someone who just saw the weight creeping up year after year, and now I feel like I have a way of eating that is not restrictive, is a lifelong plan, and I have tools to use when I deal with my eating issues. Her caring manner and flexibility with scheduling is great

Dr. Mary Wansley has changed my life. I came across her in a desperate attempt to help improve my relationship with food. I was tired of dieting and not feeling good in my own skin. During my first session with her I felt an immediate sense of relief. She understood my struggle with food and not only showed me compassion, she gave me tools to help me overcome my struggle. Her method is simple and powerful and really cut through the food and dieting noise I had been living with for most of my life. Seeing her was one of the best gifts I've ever given myself.

So glad to have met Mary while living in LA! Amidst all the various nutrition theories and informational clutter, she is able to offer simple and sound guidance and is an absolute pleasure to talk to. Mary has introduced me to meditation, which I've been trying to make into a habit for a while. Highly recommend.

I could not be more grateful to have found Mary. I have a history of bulimia from my adolescent years and went through therapy at that time. However my food addiction recently got worse due to life circumstances, and I found Mary through this website.
Before I first went in, I did not know what to expect other than another failed attempt to stop bingeing.
I am thrilled to finally have someone truly understand what it is to have a food addiction. As aware as I am of my unhealthy relationship with food, I never really understood the Why. I often justified in my head "oh everyone thinks this

I have only being seeing Dr. Wansley for 5 visits and I already see such a shift in my mindset and outlook- not to mention a 7.6 lb loss without starvation diets. Dr. Wansley has a disarming approach combined with a good sense of humor and easily understandable tools. My times with her has bought me increased clarity on decades of yo-yo dieting, hopeless depression and unhealthy self talk. It has been time well spent!

I was offered and received a full refund. Yelp discourages removing or deleting reviews because of a refund, which I was going to do. I will update this review to say that I bet Dr. Wansley can be life-changing for many people. At this current time, it wasn't what I needed, but I appreciate the professionalism and her reputation, as alluded to by others.

Mary has saved my life.
I first started going to her a year ago, and was struggling with BED and Bulimia. I had cut almost every food group out of my diet and was stuck in a cycle of binging and purging. I had no idea what normal eating even was! I was so lost in this cycle and was controlled by anxiety. I've been working with Mary over a year now and my life (my outlook/mind!) is so, so much better. And my relationship with food improves more and more every day. She has helped me so much, I wish every girl had a Mary to help them thru life.

Whatever battles with food you are having, (I am guessing you are struggling in some way if you are reading this), I first would like to tell you not to lose hope because there is a way out. Like any addiction, food addiction is very hard to overcome; but if you put yourself into the hands of Dr. Wansley, I can assure you that you will overcome the battle that you are fighting.
I came to Dr Wansley during what was a very dark and depressing time for me. I had been struggling with Binge Eating Disorder on and off for my entire life, but never realized it was an illness until I got to college
