Troy Wellness Center and Fertility Birthright offer mind, body and spiritual services that focus on holistic wellness.
Bhante Dharmawara, a beloved teacher and friend of mine once said to me when he was 100 years old, "you are what you eat, think and drink. Thinking is most important." Indeed, it is mind as healer or mind as slayer that we contend with every moment of every day. We are unconsciously run around by forgotten memories long since stored in our subconscious minds. These repressed memories, all of which are on file in the subconscious mind, (which lives in the limbic system, the emotional part of the brain), cause us to daily react instead of simply respond in areas we often know we shouldn't be so charged about, but undeniably are.
Transformational Hypnotherapy
Transformational Hypnotherapy takes you to the cause of these reactions and helps you to transform earlier forgotten decisions made at the time of traumas or dramas into new empowered choices that are appropriate to the adult you are now. The work is done in a light state of hypnosis and incorporates many "state of the art" styles of hypnosis, NLP, kinesiology energy psychology and embodiment approaches to self awakening and healing. By taking these experiences into the body, instead of just "working from the head", we can release the emotional hold that the body/mind internalizes somatically which often reaks havoc in our body systems when not freed up.
This work is considered "rapid growth work" that liberates people to make conscious what has been unconscious and reap the benefits of being free to create a new and positive present and future instead of being held back by the past. Clients have reported that results are usually quick and long lasting.
This work is a powerful, emotional clearing and re-educating tool for those who are mentally well but are wanting to remove obstacles to positive change that have impeded their success and live a more free, alive life. This work is not Psychotherapy and should not be substituted for neccesary Mental Health Counseling by a licensed practitioner.
Uses of Transformational Hypnotherapy
Transformational Hypnotherapy (T.H.) is used with traditional Clinical and Medical Hypnosis. Therefore, I incorporate it into all hypnosis sessions , except when there is a need for directive suggestion work to anchor in new affirmations. There are many benefits of Transformational Hypnotherapy.

"Transformational Hypnosis with a woman's focus"
Over the past 26 years of doing Holistic Healing Work, I have found that over 85% of my clients have been women. Perhaps it is because we are given societal permission to feel and heal ourselves through being introspective and emotionally expressive. I believe this creates a desire, a willingness and inner permission to change. Although I still happily work with men who also want to change and grow, many of the situations I work with listed above occur more frequently with women.
"Stop Emotional Eating"- Six week Group in Lambertville, starts 4/22
Join a six week trim down and lighten up support group that will help you clarify the inner sabotaging "self talk" that deeply affects your ability to stay on course with your emotional well being and your eating habits.
We will work together as individuals in a group setting utilizing "state of the art "self and group hypnosis techniques, journaling, Emotional Freedom Technique and other behavioral tools to allow you to eliminate negative patterns and thinking that so often create failure and self judgement instead of success and a positive attitude, resulting in self confidence.
It has been said that the combination of simply journaling what you eat can create 80% success on a weight reduction program. My experience of incorporating hypnosis, behavioral tools and Emotional Freedom Technique along with journaling and group support is that positive results are far greater reaching and have deeper and longer lasting impact. One certainly can go it alone with the latest weight loss diet or go to a large weight loss facility with a corporate model, but I have found that women prefer small, connected groups where they can do real work and see results that become new life patterns, not just the latest weight loss plan or craze of the season. It is widely known now that when the body is asked to ongoingly "yo yo diet" , it gets confused and goes into starvation mode instead of letting go of extra weight. Then you are left with a metabolism that is in famine mode when food is plentiful and your body is thrown out of balance. The creation of lifestyle patterns of healthy eating is the ultimate weight loss goal to strive for. By identifying and letting go of your triggers, you become conscious and thus empowered to make healthier choices you can be proud of.
Nothing beats the support of an intimate group facilitated in an inspirational and professional manner where a safe space is created for people to let go of emotional weight and the baggage that lives in it and new empowering tools are taught that educate, inspire and motivate ongoing change to continue. That is Freedom with a capital "F!" Come join us!!
This group will be limited to 8 people only, will fill on a first come first registered basis and will be facilitated by Debra Troy, an Advanced Clinical Hypnosis Counselor, ACH, who has over 20 years of Professional Hypnotherapy experience guiding people into optimal wellness and self healing. Debra is specialty certified by the International Medical and Dental Hypnotherapy Association in Weight Loss, Medical Hypnosis and Mental Focus Coaching. She is also the director of the Troy Wellness Center in Lamberville, New Jersy.

Once qualified, you will send your check to register and secure your space, made out to to: Debra Troy for $150. and mail it to: Troy Wellness Center, 62 North Main Street, Suite A, Lambertville, N.J., 08530.

It is an educational, growth oriented group designed to empower participants to create lasting change in their food and self care habits. Participants under a therapists care will need to have their practitioner's approval to join this group and Ms.Troy will need to be in communication with the therapist and receive a referral from the therapist before acceptance into the group is permitted. Under current tax law, weight loss programs are permissable to be deducted on your income taxes! Private sessions will be made available to group participants as desired and will be offered at a group rate of $80 /hour.
HypnoBirthing® ChildBirth Education Classes
In 2000, I became a HypnoBirthing® ChildBirth Educator because I loved working with birthing mothers when I was in Nursing school in the late 70's and I wanted to support women to think of birth in an empowered way. I saw that mainstream America had succeeded in convincing "modern women" that birth had to be an unbearably painful, difficult experience that a woman's body couldn't handle, so women might as well relinquish control of their natural birthing wisdom and medicate their bodies and babies with the latest pain meds and birth ripening agents available.
Learning the HypnoBirthing® Mongan Method and becoming an instructor allows me to teach couples the empowered way of birthing I was searching for when I was a student nurse almost 30 years ago. It is a joy to see women and their birthing companions unsure of their birthing abilities at the first class, in a state of calm confidence when we finish at the end of the fifth class. I love the prenatal bonding that happens for each new family taking my classes. There is no doubt on the part of the parents to be that their inborn baby is actually taking the class with us! After all, it is their birth I am teaching them to prepare for. Those who have brought me their babies to meet after birth are often surprised to see that they seem to know my voice when they meet me. Remember they took this class too and learned the same information as you!
It is great to hear that the material parents learn is useful to help their babies self comfort or fall asleep after birth as well .Parents, especially fathers seem to be more at home with the idea of the babies arrival after taking HypnoBirthing® The Mongan Method classes. Mothers have told me that the classes helped them shorten first stage labor, decrease the intensity of "surges", get deeply in touch with the rhythmn of their birth and work with each surge, like riding a wave to shore on a surfboard. I've heard that learning to "breathe the baby down" was worth it's weight in gold, because it helped moms to prevent tearing and birth their babies heads confidently and with minimal, if any pushing.
Overall, the feedback I have received teaching HypnoBirthing® classes to couples has been that they felt more in charge of their whole birth experience from where they birthed to how they birthed and with whom. Many who had given birth before were grateful for the fear release component of class three and said without it they felt they may have been destined to recreate old birth dramas and traumas that they had experienced in the past.
I am now incorporating the Emotional Freedom Techniques into my anxiety/fear/phobia release "bag of tricks." It is extremely useful as a tool for clearing out emotional baggage that can get in the way of a safer, easier more comfortable birth and therefore is worth it's weight in gold!!
EFT SESSIONS are available in my office and on the telephone (where it works remakably well) to clear out worries, fears, phobias, negative habits, thinking and patterns that stop you from being your optimal self.
HypnoBirthing® Classes are taught at my Lambertville office as privates only, allowing me to give you my focused attention and create a more intimate and safe space to develop birthing confidence in. I teach two classes a month, one evening and one Saturday class on a first come, first served basis.
HypnoBirthing® HypnoFertility Counseling
In 2002, I became a HypnoBirthing® Fertility Counselor through the HypnoBirthing® Institute. Our fertility enhancement protocol is a 5-7 session program that helps you release old fears, anxieties and concerns about becoming pregnant, miscarrying, past traumas associated with sexuality, abortions or other losses related to becoming a mother. After fears, anxieties and negative thinking and beliefs have been cleared , we focus on opening to a healthy, viable pregnancy and use guided imagery to anchor in positive thoughts, feelings, sensations and images into the body and mind.
Fertility hypnosis is an essential part of Assisted Reproductive Technology or can be used before or instead of choosing A.R.T. For more information about Fertility Challenges go to HypnoFertility from the main page.
IVF Assist
For women doing In Vitro Fertilization or IVF, IVF Assist is a very supportive tool for you to utilize during the embryonic transplant process. IVF Assist is a personalized CD made to order that women listen to at the moment of IVF transfer to support the success of the procedure. IVF Assist allows women from out of town who can't do hypnofertility sessions to reap the benefits of hypnosis and potentially double their transfer successes. IVF Assist is also available for hypnofertility clients wanting hypnotherapeutic support at their transplant procedure.
For women who are within 40 minutes of Lambertville, New Jersey, I am also available to come with you during your embryo transplant to help you remove fears, stay calm and deeply relax so your procedure can be as successful as possible.
