About Sunnie
Sunnie's interest in the mind-body connection began when she was competing as an equestrian in high school and discovered sports psychology and how the mind influences performance. She was fascinated and inspired by that because it made her realize that having a strong mind was just as important, and in fact, a part of creating a strong and healthy body.
Later, when she was studying counseling psychology in graduate school in Cambridge, MA she became interested in MBSR (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction) piloted by Dr. Kabat Zinn of Harvard University. MBSR takes you off "auto-pilot" and puts you more in control of your behavior which is key to successful weight management. She also became certified in NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), a technique which rewires associations in the brain. Again, very important for long term weight management.
While working as a behaviorist in a medically supervised weight loss clinic at a Boston area hospital, Sunnie discovered that weight loss programs focus solely on the behaviors needed to lose weight and keep it off and that no matter how much patients are educated about what to do and why it is important, it is still not enough to get many patients to make permanent and lasting changes. She witnessed the frustration and heartache of patients who suffered to lose weight and then gain it back, and more after leaving the program. Apart from the mental anguish, the health risks of yo-yo weight loss and weight gain are serious.
It is this conundrum that Sunnie has solved. It wasn't until Sunnie experienced a devastating, traumatic event that thrust
Sunnie into searching for more answers. In her grief, Sunnie turned to her favorite comfort food: ice cream. Soon, eating ice cream became a nightly habit. Then a true addiction. No matter how much willpower and how many promises she made to herself or how disgusted she felt at the bottom of every half-gallon she finished, Sunnie could not stop going out and getting ice cream every night. Despite all the knowledge Sunnie had about how to lose weight, the addiction to ice cream persisted, no matter what she tried.
Having created new neural pathways to overcome severe long-term chronic pain years before, Sunnie knew the key to resolving this food addiction had to lie in the brain wiring. She learned how to change her brain and eliminate the cravings and habits. Willpower played no part in it.
Surprising herself how easy and fast it worked, Sunnie embarked on a 2-year study into the work of Albert Einstein, Dr. Norman Doidge, Dr. Joe Dispenza, Dr. Bruce Lipton, Dr. William Davis, and Nobel Prize-winning cellular biologist Dr. Thomas Sudof as well as mindfulness and self-realization experts Eckardt Tolle, Matt Khan and Gary Sukov. She wanted to create a fail-proof program that would work for anyone who followed it accordingly. And so she did.
What Sunnie created is completely revolutionary in the way people can get thin, fit, healthy and energized at any age no matter how many times they failed in the past. The results her clients have gotten and continue to get is truly amazing and incredibly exciting.
This is not another diet and exercise program. It is not about thinking positive. It is about physically changing your brain through easy, relaxing, enjoyable mental and polysensory techniques that Sunnie created. As a result, the hormones and neurotransmitters that are released are different than before. This creates a completely different experience of life and the identity of a naturally thin person who easily slims down automatically, without even having to think about food. Best of all, once the brain has changed, it stays that way. The only thing you have to think about is what are you going to do with the rest of your life now that you are a slim, fit and healthy person?
