Hi everyone! I used to be a two-pack-a-day smoker. I loved it—everything from the first morning puff to the calming ritual of an after-dinner cigarette. But deep down, I knew it wasn’t just a habit. It was a dependency I needed to break… and it wasn’t easy.
I tried quitting more than once. Cold turkey, cutting down, chewing gum—nothing lasted. Until I discovered the tools that finally made it stick: hypnotherapy and NLP coaching.
My name is Jayne Goldman, and today, I’m a Certified Hypnotherapist and NLP Coach. I help people quit smoking by working with the most powerful part of the mind: the subconscious. That’s where the habit lives, and it’s where the real shift happens.
When you change the internal story you’ve been telling yourself—about smoking, about stress, about identity—your behaviors naturally follow. Hypnotherapy and NLP give you the ability to do that quickly and effectively.
If you’re ready to finally break free, here are five powerful tips that begin to rewire your habits and prep your brain for lasting change:
Choosing a brand you don’t like breaks the comfort loop. It disrupts your brain’s expectations, making each cigarette a little less satisfying—and your subconscious starts to notice.
Changing which hand you use to smoke builds new neural pathways. That small shift makes your brain go, “Wait, this feels different.” The less automatic the habit, the more power you regain.
Literally. You still get that initial “hit” your brain craves, but with half the nicotine. Your subconscious feels satisfied—while your body begins to need it less.
Rituals reinforce habits. By changing your smoking environment, you’re telling your brain: we’re doing this differently now. The emotional triggers start to loosen their grip.
Keep a bottle of water with you and sip whenever you feel the urge to smoke. This not only flushes toxins from your body, it helps build a new, healthier association. Over time, your brain starts reaching for water instead of a cigarette.
These are just the beginning. When we work together in hypnotherapy, I help you visualize yourself as a non-smoker—calm, confident, and completely in control. In NLP coaching, we reframe the old beliefs that kept you stuck and install new, empowering patterns.
So many of my clients come to me saying, “I never thought I could actually quit. But now I feel free.” And that’s what I want for you, too.
If you’re ready to quit smoking for good, let’s talk. I offer a free 20–30 minute consultation where we’ll explore how hypnotherapy and NLP can help you take your next step—with confidence.
