You can stop smoking for good!
Become one of the thousands of people who have quit smoking using hypnosis. We follow a protocol for smoking cessation designed to help you eliminate the habit in just a few sessions. Most people will either STOP smoking or cut back dramatically a day after the first session. Subsequent sessions are designed to be much more powerful and effective and will help to solidify these changes.
Whether you’ve smoked for just a few years or your entire adult life, hypnosis can help remove the habit and urges – quickly, safely and without additional medications.
Our hypnotists are highly skilled and can easily get you into a very relaxed mental state. In that state, our hypnotists bypass the critical mind. The relaxed mind is then more open to learning and accepting ‘new’ ideas. We’ll help you to reframe and change the belief that quitting is a difficult task, and replace it with the idea that it’s actually easy to stop smoking.

Hypnosis is the most effective way of giving up smoking, according to the largest ever scientific comparison of ways of breaking the habit. A meta-analysis, statistically combining results of more than 600 studies of 72,000 people from America and Europe to compare various methods of quitting. On average, hypnosis was over three times as effective as nicotine replacement methods and 15 times as effective as trying to quit alone.
