Virtue Band ® Hypnotherapy Training for Gastric Bands
Training as a VirtueBand® practitioner allows you to offer a deeply holistic and transformative approach to therapeutic care. Rooted in the four core virtues—self-compassion, bodily gratitude, patience, and holistic integration—VirtueBand® goes far beyond being just a virtual gastric band. It empowers clients to create lasting change by aligning their subconscious beliefs with these virtues, addressing challenges like emotional eating, stress, and self-confidence.
As a certified practitioner, you’ll position yourself as an expert in this highly effective method, expand your client base, and elevate your career while helping clients achieve meaningful and sustainable growth in all aspects of their lives.
Hypnotic gastric bands are particularly suited to clients who tend to eat larger portions, as the band provides a physically-felt reminder of feeling satiated. Some clients even describe a gentle “tugging” if they eat past the point of comfort, which quickly reminds them that they’ve eaten all they need for their physical needs.

Free certificate in hypnotherapy
If hypnotherapy isn't your primary modality, you can access our Certificate in Hypnotherapy course free of charge. This course is designed to offer you an overview of hypnotherapy theory and techniques but it is not designed to qualify you as a hypnotherapist. If you wish to train as a fully qualified hypnotherapist, you are advised to complete a CNHC Accredited Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy.

You will have access to an online learning portal for twelve months from purchase of your course. Written materials can be downloaded so that you have permanent access to them.
Business support
You will receive advice and support in marketing your services and images, text and logos to launch your VirtueBand® service.
CPD hours
You have a choice of completing the course without assignments, by working through the online course materials. This counts for 8 hours CPD or CE. If you prefer to complete assignments, which you receive feedback on, this counts for 15 hours CPD or CE. Both options are accredited by the ACCPH.
