Quit Smoking With Hypnosis

January 30th, 2009

Isn’t it about time you stopped smoking? You deserve to be healthy and free of that habit that has disgusted and enslaved you for too long. And in these troubling economic times, wouldn’t you like to save a bundle of money by not buying cigarettes any more?

My one-session program is very successful and very affordable. I keep my fee low so I can help as many people as possible. I have helped hundreds of people, just like you, quit smoking. I recently received an unsolicited email that said:

“Hi Loretta, I just wanted to touch base and let you know I am still smoke free.  I had one visit with you 3 years ago, and I never smoked again.  I had sent my good friend to see you , and the last time I spoke to him, he was still smoke free.  I just want to again thank you.  I am so glad I made that appointment.”

Emails like that make my day! I love helping people quit smoking. And yes, I know for sure that her good friend is still smoke-free, because he sent his son to me a few weeks ago. And now he is smoke-free, too!
Take just a moment and read my other post on my smoking cessation program. And then give me a call at 856-694-0377 (office in Philadelphia). Join the hundreds of people that are breathing easier, feeling more energetic and healthy and saving lots of money because they have left cigarettes behind. Just like my client who emailed me, you will be glad you made that appointment!

Gift Certificates for Smoking Cessation

November 3rd, 2006

Here’s a wonderful idea for a birthday, Christmas or other special occasion gift: a gift certificate for our smoking cessation program! What better way is there to say “I care about you” than to give the gift of good health?

Each gift certificate is good for one smoking cessation program, consisting of a single session (that’s all that the vast majority of our clients need to quit smoking permanently!). The session will be private and individually tailored to meet that person’s specific needs. Our smoking cessation program is our most popular and most successful program! We get many, many referrals from happy ex-smokers that we have helped “kick the habit.”

If someone you know wants to quit smoking but needs help doing so, you can be that person’s hero by giving him or her a gift certificate. Your recipient gets the gift of good health and an improved quality of life, and you get the great feeling that comes from making a positive difference in someone’s life.

The gift certificates have no expiration date, and they are transferable. However, they are not refundable.

All you need to do is call us at 856-694-0377 and either give us a credit card number or send a check. You will be mailed a gift certificate that you can present to that special person on that special day. Your recipient will then call us to make a smoking cessation appointment at a time that is convenient for him or her. It’s so easy for everyone! Do it today!

Call 856-694-0377 to order your gift certificate today!

Stop Smoking With Hypnosis

May 28th, 2005

You’re ready to give up the expensive, life-robbing habit of smoking. You’ve tried to go “cold turkey” by yourself, you’ve tried the patch, you’ve tried herbs, and nothing has worked. You NEED the power of hypnosis to help you quit! My methods work! Quit smoking permanently with hypnosis. Hundreds and hundreds of people have quit smoking successfully and PERMANENTLY with my ONE SESSION Stop Smoking program, and happily refer their family, friends and co-workers to me. Come to my Center City Philadelphia office in and find out what everyone’s talking about!

Just last week, a former client called me and said, “I smoked for 29 years, and yours is the only program that allowed me to quit smoking permanently, with no cravings! Thank you!”.

Why is hypnosis such a powerful tool for quitting smoking? Hypnosis is a relaxed, natural state between complete alertness and sleep. This state allows you to access and use the tremendous power of your subconscious mind. It is in the subconscious mind that powerful positive changes can be made: old, negative habits can be quickly gotten rid of, while new, positive habits and ways of thinking can replace them. The habit of cigarette smoking is perfectly suited to hypnosis. See our Frequently Asked Questions blog entry, which has more information about what hypnosis is and how it works. Or, you can listen to my What is Hypnosis? podcast (an audio file). I also highly recommend you listen to my podcast on the Conscious and Subconscious Minds, which will help you understand why hypnosis is especially helpful for quitting smoking.

Using my hypnosis techniques, you become a NONsmoker and REMAIN a NONsmoker. You will leave your Stop Smoking session feeling relaxed, happy and completely comfortable with the positive change you have made. You will be confident in your ability to stay smoke-free.

I approach smoking cessation from multiple angles:

(1) I reinforce your decision to quit, by working with YOUR reasons for quitting smoking. This is a private session, so I can focus on your issues, the reasons you’ve had trouble quitting, etc.

(2) I change your self-image from someone who smokes to someone who wouldn’t think of smoking.

(3) I give you the tools and techniques you need for any urges and cravings you MAY experience in the first few days or weeks after your session. (Remember, lots of my clients quit smoking with NO cravings. It’s as if someone simply turned off a switch! Do NOT assume you will have cravings or be irritable.)

(4) I free you of the smoking habit and I help you build the right new habits to replace it.

(5) I unify your logical, conscious mind and your emotional, subconscious mind so that they are in agreement. No longer will your subconscious mind send you urges to smoke, because it will agree with your conscious decision that smoking is over and done with for you.

My smoking cessation program consists of a single session, approximately one-and-a-half to two hours long. During the session, you will participate in various “waking hypnosis” exercises designed to unite your conscious and subconscious minds so that all parts of you are in agreement: smoking is over and done with. At the end of the session, I also do a guided hypnosis, which will reinforce all the work done during the session and which will leave you feeling very relaxed and calm. The vast majority of people (over 98%!) find that the single session is all they need to quit smoking and remain free of the smoking habit. I also give you an extremely effective and simple way to reinforce your decision to quit smoking once you leave the session.

Join the many others who have quit smoking with my program. Give yourself the gift of a healthy, longer, smoke-free life!

Give me a call at 856.694.0377 today. You won’t find a friendlier, more caring or more understanding hypnotherapist anywhere!

And when you call, I’ll tell you exactly how much the program costs. There are no hidden costs, no add-ons. I keep my Stop Smoking fee LOW, so that I can help as many people as possible. No gimmicks! Other hypnotists may offer a “free” consultation that turns into a high-pressure sales presentation for a pricey “package”. But not with me! One low price — that’s it! And you’ll know the cost as soon as you call me at 856.694.0377.

Gift certificates are available for our smoking cessation program.

Lose Weight Easily With Hypnosis

May 2nd, 2005

Hypnosis is a powerful tool that allows you to lose weight easily and naturally. Most people go “on a diet” which provides some sort of plan or a list of “dos and don’ts”. They lose weight, only to gain it right back. Why? Because diets don’t change the root cause of their overeating! Diets don’t work!

Additionally, most diets force people into an unnatural eating pattern that leaves them feeling deprived. They continue to crave the foods they love. So once they go “off the diet,” the weight returns quickly as they fall back into old, comfortable eating habits. Does this sound familiar to you?

Hypnosis works with your mind as well as your body. It gets to the underlying cause of your overeating and works to gently and effectively reprogram your thinking so that you no longer want to overeat. Don’t fight your cravings - eliminate your cravings with hypnosis!

An article in the Journal of Clinical Psychology studied two groups of overweight people. Only one group used hypnosis. The article noted that at the 8-month and 2-year follow-ups, “the hypnosis clients showed significant additional weight loss, while those [who did not undergo hypnosis] exhibited little further change. More of the subjects who used hypnosis also achieved and maintained their personal weight goals.” Isn’t that what it’s all about - achieving and maintaining your personal weight goal?

Forget about going on and off diets! No more yo-yo dieting! No more guilt about “cheating” on your diet. You can still enjoy the foods you love.

You want to make the kinds of lifestyle changes that will keep you fit and trim for life!

That’s why working one-on-one with a certified hypnotherapist is extremely important. When you work individually with a hypnotherapist, he or she will custom tailor each session, allowing you to make permanent changes.

The most effective form of weight-loss hypnosis is one-on-one counseling. Maybe you’ve gone to a large group hypnosis session and left with your old habits and cravings still haunting you. With 50 people in a room, each one of them will have 50 different reasons why they overeat, 50 different irresistible “trigger foods,” 50 different life histories. One generic hypnosis session will never work for an entire group!

Even worse, many group hypnosis sessions are led by a salesman whose job is to sell you expensive vitamins, supplements or herbs.

The certified hypnotherapists at The Sernekos Group work with clients individually in comfortable, private sessions to determine their specific needs and what will work best for them. The hypnotherapist becomes the personal motivator, coach and cheerleader for each client, focusing on how to best achieve and maintain each client’s weight loss goal.

And the certified hypnotherapists at The Sernekos Group don’t need to sell you expensive vitamins, supplements or herbs! They understand how to unlock the unlimited power of your mind to reach your weight loss goal. It’s that simple!

Clients of The Sernekos Group typically return for their second session absolutely amazed at the changes they have already made. Junk foods that once seemed irresistible suddenly have no appeal. Bad habits like late-night eating disappear. Motivation to exercise becomes easy and natural. They feel healthier. They feel better about themselves. They feel good!

The best news is that by the time clients finish The Sernekos Group’s weight-loss hypnosis program, they have made permanent changes that keep them at their goal weight.

You deserve to be trim, fit and healthy. Reach your weight goal at last!
