Most people know, logically, that they need to quit smoking but it is hard to kick the habit when your subconscious mind has a different agenda. For most people, smoking has become an important way for them to relax and reduce stress and is a very hard habit to break using only your will power. Essentially, will power works for a while but eventually if the subconscious (the part that wants to take care of you) doesn't have another way to deal with stress, most people go back to smoking within days or weeks.

Hypnosis is a relaxed state of concentrated awareness where you give the subconscious mind suggestions to remove the old habit of smoking, reduce urges, and replace the unwanted habit with healthy alternatives. Hypnosis is like no other method for this reason. It's one of our most popular subjects and very effective!

The First Session is approximately one hour. The first half of the session, we will review your completed smoking cessation intake sheet of your personal situation, your triggers for smoking, as well as a discussion about how the the hypnosis will address your situation. I believe this aspect is very important to your success. The last half of the session will be the actual hypnosis and a brief follow-up at the end if you have any questions regarding the session. The fee includes a tape or CD recording of the hypnosis portion of the session to be listened to regularly for reinforcement. Most clients can comfortably quit smoking in 1 - 3 sessions.
