Great American Smokeout

Today is the 35th Observance of the Great American Smokeout. Over the years the numbers of active smokers has reduced by millions of people. Peer pressure, looming health concerns, and the rising expense of a pack of cigarettes has turned many off to the once common habit. If you are considering quitting smoking--plan your work and work your plan. You will need to decide how you would like to quit. Maybe you will be successful going cold turkey, maybe you will opt for Wellbutrin or Nicotine patch support. Maybe you will decide to venture down the holistic method and use Hypnosis, Acupuncture, Reflexology, Reiki or other approaches to quitting. Whatever method or methods you decide to explore--learn as much about the treatment plan, the side effects if any, the level of commitment needed from you, and the cost. All plans can ultimately work--I am partial to Hypnosis and Reiki as they both are gentle, support you as entire being, are highly effective, and can work as a stand alone system or in compliment to other methods. I have found that the average smoker can successfully quit within 3-5 Hypnosis sessions and has lower levels of anxiety, fear, and weight gain. If you would like to explore your options--contact me to schedule a free consultation to discuss your concerns. Soul Centered Health is pleased to offer individual sessions tailored to your particular needs as well as group classes.
