Dearest Simone

I came to see you 3 years ago in a bid to give up smoking. I had been smoking 20+ a day since I was 15 (25 years!)

Even though I was disgusted with my habit I kept telling myself things like; it keeps my weight down (wrong) it calms me down (wrong) I enjoy a smoke (actually I did most of the time!) but really and truly I hated it as I could literally feel it sucking the life and the moisture right out of my body and my vital organs. I had low energy, poor skin, I stunk of smoke, my clothes and house stunk of smoke. I was out the back door puffing away in all weathers like a junkie. It was pathetic.

Even when I came for my session (I had been to other hypnotherapists before as you know) I remember thinking; "I hope this doesn’t take long because all I want is a cigarette and a cup of tea. I’ll tell my children I tried (again) and not to worry because I wont die of cancer" (God that sounds so ignorant!)

Anyway, I’m writing this 3 years down the line to thank you for saving my life (I’m not joking, because I actually do think it would have killed me) my life has changed in so many ways. I feel great, I look great (so I’m told) I am fitter than I’ve ever been in my life, I work out 3-4 times a week. My hair smells like shampoo my clothes smell of Lenor, I had my teeth bleached 3 years ago and they still look as white as snow, my house smells of the scented candles and pot pourri. I admit I did put on a couple of pounds but I lost that and more importantly I kept it off because of the healthy life style I now live.

It’s really strange because I can not believe I was ever that person. Thank you so much and I pray that other people will read this and come to you so that you can change them forever too.

Loads of love

Dear Simone

Hope you are well?.. And I hope you find my testimonial acceptable.. Otherwise let me know and I will do a shorter simple version. However below is how I feel about the whole smoking thing!!

Best regards

Andy Nunes – London

I have smoked for approximately 15 years. I used to be very active in sports and a pretty damn good footballer. Then I started to smoke and steadily over 15years have got slower, shortness of breath and lethargic. I am only 35 but I feel like 50! I felt pains in my chest, poor blood circulation and felt like I was dying. I need help as I have never manager to stop smoking before.

After walking in Simone’s office and having a brief conversation on where I am in my life and what I wanted to achieve. I realized I was at a crossroads in my life, I had to make a choice…it was a clear choice of whether my life would go uphill or downhill. I had to decide and quick! Did I want to live or die? At the end of the day that’s the difference between smoking and non smoking, life or death. (We all have to die sometime, but we have a little more choice over how it happens than we might think!)

Nothing else had worked, so this for me really was that juncture, where one has to make a choice. That’s the beauty of Simone’s hypnotherapy. It gives you a CHOICE. Lots of choices in fact….well I chose to look for a hypnotherapist and I chose to contact Simone and I chose to turn up at her office. (So far so good).

What happened between turning up at Simone’s office and leaving Simone’s office 90mins later?

It doesn’t matter what took place. I’m Not even sure if I know what happened…. All I know is I have not smoked a cigarette since leaving her office. I have no desire to smoke cigarettes….I don’t particularly like the smell of cigarette smoke. Seeing others smoke around me has no effect on me other than causing me to think of the dangers of 2nd hand smoking (all of a sudden!).  Don’t’ get me wrong…. I think about cigarettes a hell of a lot…. But not like before when I would think about smoking, then smoke…. Now I think about cigarettes and I think I have a choice to make and I choose not to smoke. It’s always a choice, but it’s my choice and I chose not to smoke; because I am a non smoker who enjoys the benefits of good health!  I’ve never felt so I empowered and in control in all my life!  It feels WOW!  Really good.

My Wife is overjoyed and says kissing me is so much more fun than before.  My Daughter still doesn’t like me kissing her, but then she’s 2 ½ and going through a phase.

Everybody is happy I don’t smell like a smoky pub anymore. I no longer feel like my days are numbered!

Overall I am the happiest and words are all I have to show my appreciation to Simone 

Simone,  Thank you.
