Stop Smoking!

Stop smoking without hypnosis, gum or patches!

I specialise in treating people who want to stop smoking. EFT offers fast and effective treatment and has an 80%+ success rate.

We all know that smoking is expensive and bad for us and that on average, twice as many people are unsuccessful in quitting as those who succeed. 

"Quitting is easy, I've done it a thousand times!" - Mark Twain.

EFT is a valuable secret weapon in the battle to quit because it deals with and clears the cravings, hooks, triggers, fears and root causes of smoking - you are not just relying on willpower.

The technique is simple, pain-free and non-invasive. By the end of your first session you will know how to use EFT on yourself and have its support whenever you need it as you give up....and become an ex-smoker.

With the national smoking ban now in force in the UK there has never been a better time to quit!

Sounds good? Want to quit? Then read on!

Treatment is offered in two stages and deals with: 

your feelings about having the addiction
your doubts about succeeding
your fears and anxieties about giving up and managing without nicotine
your cravings, hooks and triggers - the things that make you smoke and prevent you from giving up
feeling deprived
losing an old friend
losing your identity as a smoker
how to stay stopped

The first stage (which usually takes one session) is used to: 

map out the problem of your smoking
identify what is preventing you from giving up
introduce EFT techniques so you know how to use them and work on the major causes 

By the end of this you will be able to use the techniques to support yourself in giving up smoking.

The second stage (normally your second session) will be after you have stopped smoking - how good does that sound?! 

We will:

review your progress
carry out further work if required
ensure that all aspects of the problem have been tackled and cleared - thereby ensuring that you stay stopped

Consultations

Are relaxed and friendly, private and confidential.

The Procedure

Is simple, non-invasive and pain-free. Whilst you sit comfortably, we tap the meridian points as you focus on the problem to be cleared.

Fees

Sessions are £50 per hour. 

After the initial 2 sessions, you will know if further sessions are required. You will also be able to use the techniques on yourself at home or work.

Why Quit?

Stopping smoking represents the single most important step that smokers can take to enhance the length and quality of their lives.

The scary facts:

Approximately half of all smokers who continue to smoke end up dying from a smoking-related illness
Smoking is a risk factor for cancer of the lungs, mouth, voice box, throat, esophagus, bladder, kidneys, pancreas, cervix, stomach and some forms of
Smokers are twice as likely to die from heart attacks as non-smokers
Smoking is a major risk factor in circulatory diseases and strokes
Smoking causes premature aging of the skin, bad breath, yellow finger nails and hair
Women over 35 who smoke and use the contraceptive pill are in a high risk group for heart attacks, strokes, and DVT (deep vein thrombosis)
Women who smoke are at higher risk of miscarriage or having a low weight baby
Babies born to mothers who smoked during pregnancy are born addicted to nicotine, have to undergo the side effects of withdrawal and are more likely to become addicted to nicotine in later life

No matter what your age or how long you have smoked for, quitting will help you live longer and improve the quality of your life.

The positive facts:

People who stop smoking before the age of 50 reduce their risk of dying in the next 15 years by 50% compared with those who continue to smoke
Ex-smokers enjoy a higher quality of life with fewer colds and flu viruses and reduced rates of Bronchitis and Pneumonia
Ex-smokers enjoy greater disposable income
Ex-smokers enjoy greater fitness and vitality
Ex-smokers feel empowered and exhilarated at having kicked their habit, no longer being subjected to cravings and

The benefits to be enjoyed immediately:

Giving up smoking offers benefits that you will notice and enjoy immediately

Food will taste better
Your sense of smell will improve
Your clothes, hands and breath will not smell of smoke
Day-to-day activities such as climbing stairs, housework, running for a bus will no longer leave you gasping for breath
Greater disposable income to enjoy

The benefits to be enjoyed over time:

20 minutes after quitting: Your heart rate and blood pressure drop
12 hours after quitting: The carbon monoxide level in your blood returns to normal
2 weeks to 3 months after quitting: Your circulation and lung function improves
1 to 9 months after quitting: Coughing and shortness of breath decreases, the cilia (tiny hair-like structures in the lungs which move mucous out of the lungs) regain their normal function thereby increasing the ability to expel mucous, clean the lungs and reducing the risk of lung infections
1 year after quitting: The excess risk of coronary heart disease is half that of a smoker's
5 years after quitting: The risk of having a stroke is reduced to that of a non-smoker 5-15 years after giving up smoking
10 years after quitting: the rate of death by lung cancer is approximately 50% less than that of a smoker. The risk of cancer of the mouth, throat, esophagus, bladder, cervix and pancreas also decrease
15 years after quitting: The risk of coronary disease is the same as that of a non-smoker

Can You Afford Not To Give Up?

As if the health risks were not a big enough reason to quit, smoking is expensive:

Multiply what you spend on cigarettes/tobacco every day, by 365
Multiply that figure by the number of years you have been smoking
Multiply the cost per year by 5 (to represent another 5 years of smoking)

What would you rather do with that money?!

This does not take into account the increased costs for health and life insurance as well as healthcare costs and possible lost income, due to smoking-related illnesses.

Remember - you have nothing to lose but your habit!
