"I came to see Julie to stop smoking on the 29th November 2005.  She told me it would only take one session but I just didn't believe her.  I did believe hypnotherapy could help me stop otherwise I wouldn't have been there, but thought one session would never be enough to help me though the cravings and withdrawals I expected.  She told me I wouldn't need patches or nicotine replacements at al - then I really thought she was mad.  I'd given up before with patches before and even then I'd felt the withdrawal in the early stages.

Anyway I enjoyed the session, it was easy to follow and made me feel very relaxed.  I don't remember much about the actual words she used but felt comfortable and in control of everything.  When we had finished I was determined to give it a go and throw away my cigarettes for ever, but I was nervous about how I would feel if I wanted a cigarette, and how I would know if it had worked or not.  I shouldn't have been. From leaving her office until today (31st January) I have had absolutely no urge, no desire and no real memory about being a smoker, it’s as if I never was.  I can’t quite believe it myself.  I was on 20 a day and have been a smoker for about 30 years.  Now I'm a non-smoker and it was a truly effortless action.  Best of all I haven't put a pound on in weight which was my greatest fear. 

Thank you so much Julie, I’ll be telling everyone I know about this, it’s made me realise the power of suggestion and positive thought and there are lots of areas of my life Id like to apply this to.  Stopping smoking has been a pleasure, all my friends can't quite believe it, but they can’t deny the evidence of their own eyes . . . it’s true."
