WEIGHT LOSS, FOOD AND BODY IMAGE ISSUES

BEFORE

AFTER

I was treated by Tamika Hilder about 6 weeks ago for some ongoing hormonal and weight issues that I had been having.
For 5 years, I suffered from abnormal menstrual periods, spotting and breakthrough bleeding. I tried 4 different contraceptive medications including Levlen ED, Microgynon 50 ED, the Implanon implant and the Nuva ring. The Nuva ring did alleviate most of my abnormalities, however over the time that I was trying to find a contraception that worked, I put on 5 – 6 kg’s… and no matter what I did, I could not lose it. So I went off the hormones all together, then the problems started again, and I still couldn’t lose weight.

I am a personal trainer and competitive athlete, so exercise or motivation was not the issue. I was training 2 hours a day, 6 days a week, and getting no results.

Until one day I mentioned my problems to Tamika. Tamika said that she could see a definite link between my roller-coaster hormones and a stressful, emotional experience that I’d had in the past.

At first I was a little sceptical, as I have a strong Science back ground, and had never had much faith in alternative therapies.
But after one hypnotherapy session, I cleared these emotional blocks from my past, and straight away had a ‘normal cycle’!
Tamika also prompted me to look into the alkaline diet, which was funny, as another clinician had picked up that my body was acidic… Probably from all the training I was doing, my high protein diet, and all the stress and frustration I was feeling from not being able to lose weight.

After 14 days of following a strict alkaline diet, I had lost 3 kg’s, and felt amazing. My digestion had improved, my skin was amazing, my energy levels were almost out of control, and people kept asking me what I had done to look this great in such a short period of time. Here are some before and after photos, so you can see my success with this amazing way of eating!
Thanks Tamika, your therapy and advice has meant the world to me.

THINK YOUR BODY SLIM COACHING AND WORKSHOP

I came to see Tamika because I was binge eating at least once per week and felt horrible about my appearance. I weighed 73kg. I felt so horrible about myself and felt I was ugly. As I look back it was so black and depressing. After attending Tamika’s Think Your Body Slim workshop and doing 12 hours of phone coaching with Tamika, I now feel in good spirits; so positive about myself and like a huge weight has lifted. Things are so much clearer. I’ve changed my thinking and I’ve noticed that I am in control of my thoughts, which used to really get me down. I actually feel good about me and a lot more alive. Before I didn’t want to be seen and now I want to get out there and meet people and I’ve even joined Facebook! I have lost 6kg in 4 months of working with Tamika and I feel really good about my body. I haven’t binged in over a month and don’t obsess my thoughts about food anymore. I feel like I am in control of my thoughts and my food now. I really cannot explain how different I feel because it feels like a different lifetime ago. I used to obsess about a granule of sugar or a potato and feel really guilty about what I ate but now I see food in a different way. Food doesn’t control me anymore and I’ve now developed a very healthy relationship with food, my body and myself. I love you Tamika and I love your work. You have bloody saved my life! Seeing you on A Current Affair has changed me! Thank you!

I have lost 8kg since your last workshop (4 weeks ago) without changing a thing! Cas Phillips, Brisbane

Hey gorgeous, thanks so much for the weekend (2 days ago). I really enjoyed it. Ii feel reconnected and many lessons learned and awesome tools to work with. My stomach is already flatter…yah!  Hannah Seeman, Brisbane.

It was like nothing else. I now feel more positive and empowered to change and move forward in life.you can’t buy this experience anywhere else! Michelle Mussett, Brisbane

I now have more tools to help me in my life journey. It has reminded me I am my own power and in charge of my life and weight. No-one else but me. It was a very relaxed presentation style. There was no forcing of beliefs or opinions onto others. Julie Newman, Gold Coast.

I am already working hard on the positive thinking and have given myself free rein on the food and have already noticed that I am not wanting some of the foods that are unhealthy that I would normally have craved. I have severe motivation issues and have simply started by getting around 15 min of sunshine a day as I felt that was easy and feel a lot more energised already. Thank you for your workshop I feel that I got a lot out of it and hope to continue with the good work.

EMOTIONAL AND PHYSICAL WELLBEING

Tamika has helped me grow and develop as a person unlike any other health professional has ever been able to and I have seen a few in my time!At 21 I was diagnosed with Bipolar affective disorder after many years of ups and downs and struggling with life in general. The diagnosis came as no shock as my Father and Grandmother also have what was formally known as “Manic Depression”, however I struggled with the fact that I may need to be on medication for the rest of my life. After being off and on meds for 7 years, seeing a number of practitioners including psychiatrists, psychologists, GP’s, naturopaths, acupuncturists and kinesiologists and learning yoga and meditation I still needed medication to function and continue working.

At 28 I fell pregnant and decided I wanted to take the final step to leading a balanced happy life, without medication. This is when I began seeing Tamika on a regular basis. I have never felt comfortable enough with any other practitioner to really open up, and deal with my underlying issues – Tamika helped me to do this. She made me feel secure, and understood me in a way no one ever has.  By helping me to go to the source of my fears, anxieties and self image issues she helped me to let go of these things and move forward in my everyday life. I am so happy to say I am now completely off all medication and I owe so much of this huge step to Tamika. She is an amazing guide, has been a huge support to me and has such a wonderful outlook on life, and I thank her for helping me in becoming the person I have always wanted to be.

If you’re a person that suffers from depression, anxiety, panic attacks, or you just worry about everything around you, or about what people think or say about you, well guess what, I know completely and understand where you are coming from. I was an enthusiastic, fun exciting person, and full of beans up until the age of 25. Then it struck, the first panic attack. It was horrible. I thought I was going to die. For the next few years, anxiety set in. I lost my confidence, hit the drink to the point where I had no control, and said and did stupid stuff. I was embarrassed about what I did and people looked down on me. I always worried what people thought and I got scared. I needed some help. My wife started seeing Tamika and in probably 5 or 6 sessions I saw her flip completely 360 degrees with an unbelievable positive outcome. So I thought I’d see her too. I’m so glad now! After a couple of sessions in person, and a few Skype sessions with Tamika my world has changed completely.

My outlook on life has completely turned around. I can approach people with confidence. I’m very assertive, never scared of what people do or say behind my back. If they do I don’t care anyway I just got over it .People can see my body language is fantastic and I have total respect of all my work colleagues, my mates and family. I still drink and have fun but I’m in complete control of my self. I don’t do or say anything silly anymore which gives me total respect. My boss even told me I’ve changed and I’m a better and nicer person in the office, and that I care for people which made me feel ecstatic! I’m so glad I went to see Tam. I was sceptical at first as you are with this kind of stuff, but with the results I got why wouldn’t I recommend Tam to you. So anyone out there who is going through what I went through, don’t hesitate or procrastinate cause if I didn’t see Tam I don’t know how long it would have gone on for? I probably would have had a nervous breakdown. So good luck out there who ever you are remember I’m on your side all the way and good luck

After being separated from my ex-wife for about six months, I had really hit rock bottom. I was depressed and felt like I had lost all hope. I was introduced to Tamika and she really helped me get back on track. She helped me with issues from the past and really helped me get rid of some of the demons I was carrying inside me for so long. I still have work to do with Tamika, anxiety issues mainly, but without the therapy she gave I don’t know what sort of road I’d be on at the moment. The future looks brighter already.

Mate, I had the best sleep in probably a week because my shoulder didn’t worry me!! It was a bit stiff when I got up but so much better than its been in years since doing the emotional clearing work with you. Its soooo much better! I think I might be getting somewhere! Imagine what I can do when I focus my brain in the right direction! Thanks again mate. Wendy Bruce, Brisbane.

Mate, just a quick message to let you know the swelling in my throat has dropped by at least half since my emotional release session with you last night. My throat has been swollen for the last week and I have not been able to eat any solid food. since our session it has dropped so dramatically that I’ve been able to eat solids for the first time in 5 days! So stoked, thank you! Wendy Bruce, Brisbane

I had heard about Tamika from friends on the Gold Coast and was impressed with their views on her and thought it worthwhile contacting her even though I lived in Auckland, New Zealand. I was in a relationship that was emotionally draining and my partner and I were at odds with each other over many things like money, marriage etc.  After speaking with Tamika about this I felt that it was worthwhile trying as I believed my realtionship was worth saving. I spent a number of sessions with Tamika on SKYPE, around 1 hour each time and was amazed at the results.  I felt more relaxed, not so stressed and had a clearer path of where I could make a difference.  I felt I was able to ‘let go’ of negative behaviour and thoughts that were not even related to our relationship.

The result of all of this is that 2 years later my relationship is emotionally better and I feel that we have made leaps and bounds in other areas as I now know how to deal with my own emotions. I did not feel that my experience with Tamika was lessened in anyway by SKYPE, it was like being in the same room with a wall between us! Tamika is a wonderful warm and gifted person.  There is no emabarrassement when talking about personal problems, she makes you feel at ease from the very first minute. Take a chance, I did, you have everything to gain and nothing to loose.’
Dianne Taylor, New Zealand.

Tamika your authenticity inspires me. Thankyou for teaching me – a number of years ago – about the power of surrendering all. It was a gift of knowledge that has changed my whole life here. Rianna Schuh, Brisbane.

Thank you so much! I am mobile again. After our one hour phone session last night, I am 75% better, next to no pain and mending quickly. Lots of hugs for you. I am being very conscious of my thoughts and focusing on keeping my body in bliss where you left me last with your amazing guided relaxation. Thanks again. Stephen Royds, Harvey Bay.

I hadn’t had a period in two years. Tamika and I did a one hour emotional release session and a couple weeks after my session with her, and in conjunction with a colon cleanse detox from Tamika, I got my period for 4 days slightly. This was a really good start seeing as I had not experienced anything for such a long time. I think also the heart opening meditation that Tamika gave me to practice (because I had shut down love for myself and others) was also helpful in bringing back my period because because we were addressing the root cause. Since this meditation, I do feel like my heart has opened, because it has allowed me to have affection for animals. In the past I never used to care for them, and now, I actually care for them and feel like becoming a vegan. My whole perception around animals has shifted since working with Tamika.
Lisa Casavin, NSW

First of all thank you! Thank you for making me appreciate not only life but more importantly myself. To be honest, when I first came to see you, I didn’t know what my issue was. I just knew there was something not right. Being a 20 year old male, you could understand that to begin with I was a little sceptical, after the first session however I just knew this was something I had to do. After only 4 hours with Tamika, well what a difference, she has truly changed my outlook on life. Together we removed some built up emotions that I’ve had for quiet a while; emotions I myself didn’t even know I had. I’m so glad this whole experience happened now and not later on in life, so now I can really live life to the fullest. Lastly, the most important thing Tamika unblocked with me was to be happy, not only with myself but also with the life I create! Thanks again.
Jake Parker, Gold Coast, Australia

I came to Tamika when I saw an ad for a one day workshop called Think Your Body Slim!  I went along and found it very interesting but one thing struck me in that workshop.  I still had to deal with lots of emotional issues which was preventing my happiness and weight loss.  This seemed to be the perfect opportunity to finally face my issues and then move on and start living life. Coaching has helped me so much.  I have dealt with my emotional issues and feel really good about life.  I am now concentrating on my eating and still developing a positive body image and gaining confidence.  I was then diagnosed with secondary breast cancer.  I have got through this hurdle and the chemo and I am still seeing Tamika on a regular basis which is keeping me positive. I would highly recommend Tamika to anyone who needs to deal with any sort of issue, to get positive, to gain confidence and needs to start enjoying life.  She has helped me so much and I look forward to my monthly visits with her.
Carol Hines, Mount Tamborine

I have known Tamika for a long time, but have never had the privilege of being treated by her.  After 5 years of persevering with GP’s, gynaecologists, sports specialists, and Chinese herbalists, I was just about to settle on the fact that my hormones were never going to be normal.  Until one day I mentioned my problems to Tamika.  Tamika said that she could see a definite link between my roller-coaster hormones and a stressful, emotional experience that I’d had in the past.  After one hypnotherapy session, I cleared some emotional blocks from my past, and straight away had a ‘normal cycle’!  Tamika has opened my eyes and my mind to new things.  I am a scientist, and in the past have put my trust in science and medicine.  However, Tamika’s natural approach has sparked a new interest in natural healing. Tara T. Melbourne.

The innate ability, empathy and insight to resonnate with her clents on their level illustrates that Tamika has much wisdom and guidance to impart and share. Thank you Tamika. Rose-Maree Cairncross, Mount Tamborine

PRENATAL PSYCHOLOGY

After your offer of swapping sessions, I was interested to see what would happen, although I did sense some scepticism in myself!  My aim was to feel complete confidence in having an easy, ecstatic birth next time.  I do now feel very confident about this.  The particular issue that came up is something I have been working with for about 15 years, so I am delighted to see it shift as it did in only one hour with you!

During the session I also felt very empowered, and connected to my vision and how I want to help in the world.  I enjoyed the way you listened, and how the way you encouraged me helped me feel really confident about expressing all that I did.  I also enjoyed how you celebrated each thing I said, and that you gave me so much space to do all that I needed to do there. Now, I feel more confident to say what is true for me to people, even if that is saying “no” to them. I would recommend your services to my friends and others because I think that it would help people gain more clarity and empowerment in their lives.

Numerology Testimonials

I thought Karen was more like a psychic, she knew all my weak points, all my strengths, previous events, upcoming events.  Being very sceptical towards these readings I was blown away with the experience.  I found Karen very professional and helpful.  With experience of sitting with a marriage counsellor for many sessions, I gained more knowledge and understanding of myself and my partner in one session with Karen than in the numerous counselling sessions we’ve had.  I strongly advise giving Karen an opportunity to help you solve life’s difficult problems.
