Working with Sandie – Quit Smoking

As a lifelong smoker I was going through 25-30 cigarettes a day for nearly
thirty years. Eventually I reached a point where enough was enough.

When I decided to try hypnotherapy I wasn’t entirely sold on it. Curious,
but sceptical.

I booked a discovery call, and that was an eye opener. Chatting with Sandie
was easy, and fun. I’d expected things to be quite serious. What impressed
me most was that it wasn’t a sales call. Just facts and advice. Even when I
said I wanted to book in, she said no, not yet – she set me a task and asked
me to sleep on it, and to tell her the following day if I was really ready.

I was. So I did the task, messaged her, and booked in.

Over the next few days she sent me more tasks. I found them easy, and fun.
By the time my appointment came I was so ready.

One of my most liberating moments came on a six hour flight when, for the
first time, I wasn’t in a panic about when or where I could have that next
smoke.

After 53 years as a smoker I wasn’t sure if the hypnotherapy would work for
me. I’m surprised myself at how this has changed things.

Sandie is the ideal person for the job. As well as the session on the day, I
was given tasks to do both before and after.

I’ve felt on the odd occasion that I could truly light up a cigarette,
particularly at certain social events, but that is changing. I used to get a
great deal of pleasure out of smoking, and I’m missing it less and less — to
the point that I can be in the company of other smokers and it doesn’t
bother me.

I feel so much better for having quit. Thank you.

I do not know the ins and outs of hypnosis, nor do I really understand just
how it works. But I had read about it – my mother had done it years ago with
a friend of hers – so I looked at the few places and people in the area who
provide it, and after that reading and research I found Sandie.

In the first week I drank a lot of “cold, clear and crisp water,” Sandie’s
substitute for the physical action of smoking. Going out to my balcony had
always been a trigger. She made it so that going to the balcony was just
going to the balcony.

I cannot recommend Sandie enough to anyone who has the desire to quit but
needs that extra nudge. Knowing she is there if I ever need a booster is of
great comfort. She has your back even after you leave.

I had smoked for over twenty years, and with three children and getting
older I decided I’d had enough and wanted to stop — for my kids and for
myself.

I wasn’t sure what to expect, but Sandie was very easy to talk with and
explained the process clearly.

Thank you, Sandie, for helping me find within myself what I needed.
