About the Author

JOHN R. MASON, M.A., L.P.C.

I have primarily been a psychotherapist  since 1984 in a variety of settings.  The setting in which I have been the longest is private practice.  Over the years I have worked with individuals, couples and families with a primary specialty in treating trauma.

In 2001 I formed Northstar Resources, PLLC.  In 2005 I was introduced to life coaching and received training from the Institute for Life Coach Training.  In 2006 I was introduced to a Christian form of energy psychology called Splankna.  In November of 2009 I was introduced to Klemmer and Associates, a leadership training and personal improvement company.  The three introductions have catapulted me into the work that I do now and shaped the thinking that has lead to my weight loss approach.

Most importantly, I have been a Christian since I was ten years old and consider Jesus Christ to be key in leading my life and bringing this program into fruition.  It is my belief that intention is a key element in faith.  Jesus Christ is the Lord of the universe. Combining clear, intentional faith with right relationship with Jesus Christ puts us in the perfect position for success in achieving our goals for our ideal weight.

I’ve struggled with weight since I was three years old.  As most overweight people have, I’ve tried every reasonable approach I’m aware of since I was nine years old.  Even if I succeeded in losing weight, I always gained more back than I lost.  Since I’ve been using my program, I’ve lost over 50 pounds and continue to steadily lose weight toward my ideal weight of 170 pounds.

This is the first time I’ve approached the goal of my ideal weight with intention without any resistance or setback.  I hope you’ll join me!
