WSH447 - Carla Chalah on Losing 115 Pounds & Becoming the Authority

Major life transformations can happen in a split second. What would be different if you could make those rapid changes happen on purpose?

Carla Chalah joins me to share her powerful journey of losing 115 pounds through self-hypnosis and how that transformation shaped her professional expertise and authority in the field. She opens up about her initial skepticism, the inefficiencies she found in traditional therapy, and how hypnosis provided a fast track to personal change.

She details the mindset shifts, self-talk, and incremental steps that moved her from feeling stuck to reclaiming her confidence, both personally and professionally. Carla also expands on the art and individuality of hypnosis, the importance of authenticity as a practitioner, and how sharing her vulnerable story has deepened her connection with clients and grown her impact.

Carla Chalah is the founder of Hemisphere Hypnotherapy, serving clients seeking personal transformation and healing through hypnosis. Originally from South Africa, she holds degrees in English, psychology, and sociology, and furthered her studies in clinical psychology in the US. Known for her candidness and genuine approach, Carla trains future hypnotists and helps individuals achieve breakthroughs in habits, mindset, and emotional well-being.

 

"It's inauthentic when hypnotists say things like, 'Oh, hypnosis makes weight loss easy.' That's total BS. That's not real. However, it does make it easier." ~ Carla Chalah
