You've Tried Every Diet. The Problem Was Never Willpower.
It's the story your subconscious keeps telling about food. Mochi Zen uses RTT-based hypnotherapy to rewrite that story at the root — then gives you the nutrition tools to back it up.
The only weight loss app that fixes why you overeat — and tracks what you eat. Hypnotherapy meets AI nutrition, in one place.
Mochi Zen is a weight loss app that combines guided hypnotherapy audio sessions with an AI meal scanner, macros calculator, food logging with the USDA database, and weight tracking. Available on iOS, Android, and web. Plans start free.

Every Session Was Designed in a Therapy Room — Not a Boardroom
Mochi Zen was created by Paola Mendez, a certified hypnotherapist and Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) practitioner — trained in the methodology developed by world-renowned therapist Marisa Peer.
Paola built Mochi Zen because she saw the same patterns in her private clients over and over: smart, motivated people who knew what to eat but couldn't stop the late-night reach into the fridge. The problem was never knowledge. It was the subconscious belief driving the behaviour.
Every session in the app is built on the same RTT principles Paola uses with her private clients — now available to anyone, at any time, on any device.
I spent years watching clients fix their relationship with food in a single session. Not because they found a better diet — but because we found the belief underneath the craving. I built Mochi Zen so that experience isn't limited to people who can afford a private hypnotherapist.
Sound familiar?
- You know exactly what to eat — and still don't
- You're fine all day, then something tips you over at 9pm
- Stress, boredom, or a bad day sends you straight to food
- You lose the weight, then something brings it all back
Here's what actually changes it
- Find and rewrite the subconscious belief driving the pattern
- Break the emotional eating loop at its root
- Build new neural pathways so healthy choices feel natural
- Track your nutrition so the new mindset has real data to work with
How Mochi Zen Works
10–15 minutes a day. Real change that starts in your subconscious and shows up in your life.
Choose Your Session
Select from 10 RTT-based hypnotherapy sessions, each targeting a different root cause of weight struggles — from emotional eating to sugar cravings to sleep.
Relax & Let RTT Work
Find a quiet space, close your eyes, and let the guided session access and rewrite the subconscious patterns driving your eating behaviour. Most sessions are 10–15 minutes.
Track & Nourish
Scan your meals with AI, log your macros, and track your weight — all in the same app. The new mindset and the nutrition data work together.
This Isn't Woo. It's Evidence-Based.
In a landmark meta-analysis, Irving Kirsch and colleagues found that patients using cognitive-behavioural therapy combined with hypnotherapy lost more than twice the weight of those using CBT alone — and kept it off significantly longer.
RTT, the methodology behind every Mochi Zen session, goes further: it finds and rewires the specific subconscious belief — often formed in childhood — that is driving the behaviour. This isn't symptom management. It's root-cause resolution.

Because Mindset Alone Isn't Enough
The hypnotherapy changes how you think about food. The nutrition suite makes sure that thinking shows up in what you actually eat, every single day.
Snap & Track with AI
Take a photo of your meal and our AI instantly identifies every food item, estimates portions, and calculates calories, protein, carbs, fat, and fiber — no manual entry, no guessing.
Macros Calculator
Enter your age, weight, height, activity level, and goal to get science-backed daily targets using the Mifflin-St Jeor equation — the gold standard for BMR calculation.
Food Logging & USDA Database
Log every meal with accurate data from our built-in food database and the USDA nutrition database. Track breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks with real-time macro progress bars.
Save & Reuse Meals
Eat the same breakfast every day? Save your favourite meals and add them to your food log with a single tap. No re-entering the same foods over and over.
All nutrition tools included with every Mochi Zen account

Each session was designed by a certified RTT practitioner to address a specific root cause of weight struggle — in sequence, building on each other.
Introduction to Weight Loss Hypnotherapy
Understand how RTT works and begin accessing the subconscious patterns behind your relationship with food.
Deep Relaxation & Foundation
Build the deep relaxation state that allows RTT to access and begin rewiring subconscious beliefs.
Releasing Emotional Eating
Find and release the root-cause belief — often formed years ago — that turns stress or emotion into a craving.
Mindful Eating Habits
Develop genuine awareness and presence during meals so portion control becomes instinctive, not effortful.
Conquering Sugar Cravings
Rewire the subconscious association between sugar and reward — so you naturally stop wanting it.
Building Self-Love
RTT's core principle: lasting change requires a genuinely positive relationship with your body, not just with food.
Motivation & Movement
Access the subconscious belief that movement is a chore — and replace it with genuine desire for an active life.
Stress & Anxiety Relief
Sever the neural link between stress and eating, so a hard day at work no longer ends at the fridge.
Sleep & Recovery
Poor sleep drives cortisol, cortisol drives cravings. This session tackles the physiological loop at its source.
Long-Term Maintenance
Lock in the new beliefs and behaviours so the transformation isn't a phase — it's the new permanent normal.
Why sessions unlock progressively over 7 days: This isn't gatekeeping — it's how RTT works. The subconscious mind cements a new belief through repetition. Seven days of reinforcement is the minimum needed for each session's changes to become stable neural pathways before the next layer is introduced. You're not waiting for access. You're giving your mind the time it needs to actually change.

What Happens When You Fix the Root Cause
Not overnight. Not from willpower. From actually rewiring the pattern.
"I'd done Weight Watchers three times and Noom twice. I always lost the weight and always gained it back, usually within six months. After the emotional eating session I genuinely stopped wanting to eat when I was stressed. I still don't fully understand how it worked. I'm down 15 lbs and it's been nearly four months."
"The session on emotional eating was uncomfortable in the best way. It made me realise I'd been using food as a reward since I was a kid. Once I saw that clearly, the craving at 9pm basically stopped having power. My wife noticed before I did."
"I was sceptical — I'm a data person and hypnotherapy sounded like nonsense to me. I tried it because the AI meal scanner looked useful. I didn't expect the sugar cravings session to do anything. Three weeks later I turned down birthday cake without thinking about it. That has never happened in my life."

If you're sceptical, good. Here's what the research actually says.
Mochi Zen combines RTT-based (Rapid Transformational Therapy) hypnotherapy audio sessions with a complete nutrition toolkit. The sessions were designed by Paola Mendez, a certified hypnotherapist and RTT practitioner, to find and rewrite the subconscious beliefs driving cravings, emotional eating, and weight regain. The app also includes an AI meal scanner, personalised macros calculator, USDA food logging, weight tracking, and a daily journal — all in one place.
Yes — and the evidence is specific. In a landmark 1995 meta-analysis, Irving Kirsch, Guy Montgomery, and Guy Sapirstein found that patients using cognitive-behavioural 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. (Kirsch, I., Montgomery, G., & Sapirstein, G., Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 63(2), 214–220, 1995.) RTT, the methodology behind Mochi Zen's sessions, goes further than traditional hypnotherapy by targeting and rewriting the specific root-cause belief driving the behaviour.
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 the client identify and release the root-cause belief — often formed in childhood — that is driving the problematic behaviour. 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.
No — the 7-day model is based on how the subconscious mind actually 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, before the previous change has solidified, reduces its effectiveness. The 7-day cadence is how Paola structures her private client work — the app mirrors the same protocol.
Take a photo or upload one from your gallery. The AI identifies every food item on your plate, estimates portion sizes, and calculates the full macro breakdown — calories, protein, carbs, fat, and fiber — in seconds. You review the detected items, select which ones to log, and add them to your food diary with one tap. No manual entry needed.
Yes — the free tier includes your first 2 RTT hypnotherapy sessions, the macros calculator, weight tracker, and daily journal. No credit card required. To unlock all 10 sessions, AI meal scanning, food logging, and saved meals, you can subscribe for $15/month or $120/year (just $10/month).
Each session is 10–15 minutes. Most users listen before bed, during a lunch break, or first thing in the morning. Consistency matters more than timing — the sessions work best when you can relax completely and let the guided audio do its work.
