While many people approach weight loss as a struggle of willpower and restriction, professional hypnotist Arthur D. Schwartz offers a gentler path—one that aligns the conscious and subconscious mind to promote lasting, healthy habits.

At his Newton, Massachusetts, practice, Integral Hypnosis, Schwartz uses hypnotherapy to help clients reframe their relationship with food by reducing cravings, addressing emotional triggers and encouraging mindful eating. “Dieting is akin to war. Hypnosis is the waging of peace,” says Schwartz whose two-pronged approach blends awareness training with targeted hypnotic suggestions to promote sustainable lifestyle changes.

Schwartz is a certified clinical hypnotherapist affiliated with organizations including the National Guild of Hypnotists and the American Board of Clinical Hypnotherapy. His practice reflects his background in philosophy and his interest in the mind’s ability to shape experience and behavior.
