Sherri Dawson is a writer, lecturer and clinical hypnotherapist specializing in weight loss and behavior modification. She has helped people in all walks of life, from competitive weight lifters to housewives, in breaking through the barriers in their mind and achieving their goals.

She developed the underlying principles of Body Esteem over the last twenty-five years, founded on the premise a persons experience is a reflection of their beliefs. Her technique allows an individual to discover and resolve the particular obstacles they have constructed in their mind. By placing the responsibility for success back into the hands of the individual, a person is able to realize their own ability to accomplish their goals and dreams. This personal empowerment creates a ripple effect, improving all areas of their life. She created the Body Esteem Program to help women accomplish their weight loss goals.

She is committed to helping women succeed in all areas of their life and regularly donates copies of her book to charity organizations.
