Capture whatever's on your mind

You've Tried Everything.
It Keeps Coming Back.

You've read the books. Tried the apps. Done the therapy. It keeps coming back because every tool you've used works on the surface. The root cause is deeper — it's subconscious. That's exactly where RTT works. And you're in good company: most of our engaged members arrive having already tried four or five approaches — dieting, fasting, supplements, meal replacements — before this one stuck.

Sound familiar?

You reach for food when you're not even hungry
You lie awake at 3am — exhausted, but wired
The anxiety shows up before it even makes sense
You understand your patterns. They still don't stop
You've tried everything. It always comes back

Here's what actually changes it

Find the subconscious program underneath the pattern
Rewrite the belief at the root — not just the symptom
Build new pathways so calm, healthy choices feel natural
Back it with tools: journaling, habits, and nutrition tracking
Let Mochi guide you, one calm session at a time 🌸

One Root Cause · Three Programs

The Same Subconscious Program
Runs All of It.

Overeating, anxiety, sleeplessness — different symptoms, same source. Each Mochi Zen program uses RTT to work on why, not just how to cope. And not everyone comes for the scale: some of our most engaged members have a goal weight equal to their current weight. They're here to stop fighting food.

Weight Loss

Fix why you overeat — not just what you eat.

Stop the cycle of failed diets and change your relationship with food at the root. Plus AI meal scanning, macros, and food logging built in.

Start free → Explore the Weight Loss program →

Anxiety

Work on why you're anxious — not just how to manage it.

Quiet the overthinking, the 2am spirals, the performing calm while your nervous system races. Plus calming exercises and guided journaling.

Start free → Explore the Anxiety program →

Insomnia New

Address why you can't sleep — not just how to relax.

Most insomnia is anxiety-driven — a nervous system that learned to treat sleep as unsafe. RTT calms it, plus a sleep-hygiene toolkit to set up deep, natural rest.

RTT-Based Methodology

How Mochi Zen Works

10–15 minutes a day. Real change that starts in your subconscious and shows up in your life. In our member data, the pattern is consistent: people who reach week three keep going — and the sessions become self-talk, with members repeating the mantras back in their own journals within two weeks.

Choose Your Session

Select from 10 RTT-based hypnotherapy sessions, each targeting a different root cause: emotional eating, sugar cravings, self-sabotage, and more.

Relax & Let RTT Work

Find a quiet space and let Mochi's guided session access and rewrite the subconscious patterns driving your eating. Most sessions are 10–15 minutes.

Track, Relax, and Get Results

Scan your meals with AI, log your macros, and track your weight. ✨

More weight lost with hypnotherapy vs. the same program without it

Kirsch et al., Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology (1995)

The Research

Most Apps Work on Behavior.
RTT Works on Belief.

In a landmark meta-analysis, Irving Kirsch and colleagues found that patients using cognitive-behavioral therapy combined with hypnotherapy lost more than twice the weight of those using CBT alone, and kept it off significantly longer. A separate study (Alladin & Alibhai, 2007) found hypnotherapy outperformed CBT for anxiety and depression.

RTT, the methodology behind every Mochi Zen session, finds and rewires the specific subconscious belief — often formed in childhood — that is driving the behavior, whether that's reaching for food, lying awake at night, or bracing for the worst. This isn't symptom management. It's root-cause resolution.

Kirsch, I., Montgomery, G., & Sapirstein, G. (1995). Hypnosis as an adjunct to cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy: A meta-analysis. Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 63(2), 214–220. · Alladin, A., & Alibhai, A. (2007). Cognitive hypnotherapy for depression: An empirical investigation. International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis, 55(2), 147–166.

Trusted by Mental Health Professionals

"As a psychologist, I believe Mochi Zen offers convenient, supportive, and effective hypnotherapy interventions to improve one's relationship with food. In fact, there is research to support that hypnotherapy can be a great complement to other interventions for weight management.

Mochi Zen's guided yet soothing hypnotherapy sessions can help explore patterns that exist between you and food. The food tracker offers great options (including gluten free and other common alternatives) to select from to easily record macros. The journal section was a helpful add-on, offering an opportunity to see how mood, hypnotherapy, and eating patterns can be connected. This can help you generate more insight and awareness to make behavioral changes. Overall, using the app is seamless, and it is rewarding to see changes over time."

Built by a Practitioner

I spent years watching clients change in a single session — lose the weight, walk away from lifelong anxiety, finally sleep through the night. Not because they found a better diet or app, but because we found the belief underneath. I built Mochi Zen so that experience isn't limited to people who can afford a private hypnotherapist.

Real Member Data

What Happens When You Fix the Root Cause

Not overnight. Not from willpower. From actually rewiring the pattern — until the session language starts showing up in members' own journals.

On Day 1, this member described their relationship with food as a fight they kept losing. Weeks of near-daily listening later: a steadily falling weigh-in trend, and weekly check-ins reporting easier cravings and genuine pride in their progress. Mid-program, asked about the hardest food moment of the week, they couldn't remember having one.

Mochi Zen member From anonymized check-in & weigh-in data

This member arrived with sugar cravings hitting several times a day, energy running on empty, and one goal — quit the sugar habit. They started listening daily, and within the first week their session reflections described the cravings simply not showing up, and healthier choices happening on their own. Not white-knuckling the craving — noticing it didn't come.

Mochi Zen member From anonymized baseline & reflection data

They'd already tried most of the usual methods. One mid-program week was rough — the cravings and night snacking crept back — and they said so in their check-in. They kept listening. A few weeks later the cravings had eased again, and the win they logged was the exact thing they came for: no extra food at night.

Honest Answers

If you're skeptical, good. Here's what the research actually says.

Curious about hypnotherapy? Completely normal! I was nervous at first too, but there's nothing to fear. You're always in control 🌸

Mochi Zen is an RTT-based (Rapid Transformational Therapy) hypnotherapy app with programs for weight loss, anxiety, and insomnia. The sessions were designed by Paola Mendez, a certified hypnotherapist and RTT practitioner, to find and rewrite the subconscious beliefs driving the pattern — whether that's overeating, anxious overthinking, or sleeplessness. Each program comes with supporting tools like guided journaling, habit tracking, calming exercises, and (for weight loss) an AI meal scanner, macros calculator, USDA food logging, and weight tracking. And of course, Mochi guides you every step of the way! 🌸

Three programs are live: Weight Loss (fix why you overeat — not just what you eat), Anxiety (work on why you're anxious — not just how to manage it in the moment), and Insomnia (address why you can't sleep — not just how to relax). You can switch between programs anytime, and each has its own sessions, onboarding, and tools. Because the root cause is the same subconscious mechanism, many people use more than one.

Yes, and the evidence is specific. In a landmark 1995 meta-analysis, Irving Kirsch, Guy Montgomery, and Guy Sapirstein found that patients using cognitive-behavioral therapy combined with hypnotherapy lost more than twice the weight of those using the same therapy without hypnotherapy, and the advantage grew at two-year follow-up. RTT, the methodology behind Mochi Zen's sessions, goes further by targeting and rewriting the specific root-cause belief driving the behavior.

Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) was developed by Marisa Peer, one of the world's most respected hypnotherapists. Unlike traditional relaxation-based hypnotherapy, RTT works by helping identify and release the root-cause belief, often formed in childhood, that drives the problematic behavior. It's faster, more targeted, and produces changes that typically last. Mochi Zen's founder Paola Mendez is a certified RTT practitioner trained in Marisa Peer's methodology.

Completely in control. Hypnotherapy is simply a state of deep, guided relaxation, similar to meditation or the feeling just before you fall asleep. You can open your eyes and stop at any time. You cannot be made to do anything against your will. Nobody has ever gotten "stuck" in hypnosis. It's one of the most common misconceptions, and Mochi wants you to feel completely safe 🌸

The 7-day model is based on how the subconscious mind forms new neural pathways. RTT practitioners know that a single session creates the change, but repetition over days is what cements it into a stable new belief. Unlocking the next session too soon reduces its effectiveness. The 7-day cadence is how Paola structures her private client work, and the app mirrors the same protocol.

Yes. The free tier lets you start each program with an intro RTT session, plus journaling, habit tracking, the macros calculator, and weight tracker. No credit card required. To unlock every session across all programs, calming exercises, AI meal scanning, and food logging, start a 7-day free trial, then $15/month or $120/year.
