Nutrition knowledge rarely fails on its own. What fails is follow-through under stress: eating to cope, cravings at night, the cycle of starting over. I work with those automatic responses so your guidance can do its job.
Who to refer
Consider a referral for clients who:
- eat in response to stress, boredom, or emotion
- follow the plan for a while and then fall off, repeatedly
- struggle with strong cravings or night eating
- feel shame or frustration that gets in the way of progress
- can’t use, or haven’t done enough with, medication or surgery for weight
Clients with signs of an eating disorder belong with specialized eating-disorder care, not with me. I don’t prescribe diets or give nutrition advice; that stays with you.
Why hypnosis
Hypnosis works with habits, cravings, and the emotional triggers behind eating. Combined with your guidance, it gives clients a way to respond differently in the moments that usually derail them. Outcomes vary, and I don’t promise weight loss. See the evidence and references.
What happens when they come
- They book and pay directly. $150 for a 50-minute session, paid when booking. No insurance, no prior authorization, nothing for your staff to manage.
- The first visit is a working session. We clarify one practical goal, and hypnosis usually begins in that first appointment. I recommend a follow-up within 72 hours to review the response.
- The work is focused and time-limited. It usually takes a handful of sessions and ends when further sessions are no longer useful. Nothing is sold as a package.
- Where: my Doral office or Google Meet, in English, Spanish, or Portuguese.
- You stay informed if you want. With the patient’s written permission, I’ll send you a brief note that they started and how they are responding.
How to refer
- Share the link drflavio.com/weight-health/ by text, email, or your after-visit summary.
- Or hand them a card. Print referral cards for your front desk, or ask me for printed cards.
- Your client books directly. A referral is welcome but not required, and there is no form to fill out.
Let’s meet. It costs you nothing.
Before you refer anyone, I’d like you to know exactly who you’re sending your clients to. I offer referring professionals a short meeting at no cost, by phone, on Google Meet, or in person in South Florida when it works for both of us. You’ll see how I work, we can talk through the kind of clients you have in mind, and you’ll know whether a referral makes sense. It isn’t therapy, and it isn’t a sales pitch.
Or call or text (305) 505-3279, or email flavio@innermasteryworks.com.
My role, and what stays yours
I provide focused hypnotherapy for stress, distress, and learned responses. I trained as a physician (MD) and hold a PhD in biomedical engineering, and I have practiced hypnosis since 1996, with more than 44,000 sessions. In this practice I work as an adjunct to your care, never as an alternative to it. I don’t diagnose, prescribe, or change treatment, and new or worsening symptoms go back to you.
Questions professionals ask
What does it cost my patient?
$150 per 50-minute session, paid privately at booking. I don’t bill insurance, so there is no paperwork for your office.
Will you change their treatment?
No. I don’t diagnose, prescribe, or adjust medication or treatment, and I tell patients to discuss any change with the professional who recommended it.
Will I hear back from you?
If the patient gives written permission, yes: a brief note that they began and how they are responding. Without permission, I don’t share anything.
What if it turns out to be more than one issue?
I say so plainly. We either keep the work limited to the original concern, or I explain my broader program and the patient decides. Anything that needs medical, psychological, or psychiatric care goes back to the appropriate professional.
