London, Jan 07 (ANI): Lily Allen is turning to hypnotherapy to help her kick the butt now that shes expecting her first child.

According to pals, the pregnant British singer is also planning to rope in top Harley Street hypnotherapist Susan Hepburn to help her do so.

She wants to crack this. She realises it will be a struggle but her baby is more important, The Sun quoted one friend, as saying.

The pal added that the singer was also aware of the influence she had over people, especially kids, and wanted to be a good role model.

Lily is aware that she is a role model and wants to portray a positive image of herself for young people to look up to, the pal said.

Allen is familiar with Hepburn, for the latter also helped her lose weight by training her brain to stop craving junk food. (ANI)
