“Transforming Lives: Real Success Stories from My Stop Smoking Program”
As a hypnotherapist specialising in Stop Smoking Programs that combine Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Hypnosis, and Mindfulness, I’ve witnessed first-hand how challenging quitting can be…also, because I stopped with hypnosis, many lives ago.

Client factsheet: Hypno- Psychotherapy
This is a factsheet I usually share with my clients before the first session. There are often misunderstandings and questions about Hypnosis. I hope it helps clarify them. “The Register for Evidence-Based Hypnotherapy & Psychotherapy” in the UK has put these bullet points together: The more you understand hypnotherapy, the more effective it is likely to be. If there are any points below which you don’t agree with, or don’t understand, please discuss them with

How Hypnosis Helped Me Quit Smoking—And How You Can Quit, Too!
There’s nothing quite like the shock of realizing you’ve been a smoker for nearly two decades… After 18 years of lighting up, I’d tried everything. From reading Allen Carr’s famous book to obsessively drinking water to avoid weight gain—none of it worked. It felt impossible to quit until I found hypnosis. And finally—relief.

Drawing by Paloma Villela This year I had my first tooth implant (also yogis are getting old!). Ever since I had an extremely painful, unpleasant experience at the dentist around 20 years ago, I’m someone who breaks into a sweat the moment I sit down in the dentists’ chair. OK, you don’t feel anything because of the local anesthetic. But you can hear everything: the sound of high-pitched drilling, the dentist talking to the assistant.
