Rachel emailed this testimonial to Julie in August 2011:

 

I gave up smoking on 1 July 2007 with Julie's help. I had been an occasional smoker for twenty years although I smoked no more than five or six a day I just couldn't permanently break the habit. I thought I needed or enjoyed a cigarette too much.

 

One of the weird things is that whilst I am writing this is I still feel revulsion at the thought of a cigarette. It's a really strong feeling and a quite an unpleasant one. It also feels like I am talking about another person when referring to the fact I used to smoke. I am a non smoker now and really can't believe I was anything else! These strong feelings may be because Julie gave me a free "top up" session when I for some reason started smoking again for two days last summer. I rang her up and I was in her office again within 24 hours. Since this latest session I really haven't give cigarettes a thought!

 

After my first hypnosis session I can remember saying to my best friend that I thought it was a total waste of money. I thought I had flushed a lot of money down the drain. However I just didn't fancy a cigarette that day, or the day after or the day after that. It's now been four years and bar three cigarettes (that I didn't enjoy) I have been free from nicotine! Very clever stuff! I would recommend Julie to anyone.
