Much Easier

Much Easier Quitting This Time

I chose hypnosis to assist in my goal of becoming a non-smoker. I have smoked for over thirty years, quit for 10 years and for 8 years. This time I am making a conscious decision to do this for good. The two things I have found of most value in working with John are my anchor and self-hypnosis. Both of these tools have made a real difference for me. And while I’m not sure why, this time quitting was much easier. Was it the hypnosis? Maybe. All I know is that it was the right path for me.

I encourage you to try it for yourself

for whatever reason you need support.

Brigette

Mom and Caregiver

Gets Smoke Free to Improve Her Recuperation from Surgery

My name is Brigette. I am 33 years old, a widowed mother of a 12-year-old boy. I take care of my mother and grandmother. I started smoking when I was 13 years old; a nasty habit, and I have smoked for 20 years. I was in a car accident 10 years ago and messed up my legs, feet, and right hip. I had many surgeries then, but now I need a hip replacement, and my doctor says I need to stop smoking first so I will heal correctly.

I met John on January 15, 2014, the day I had my last “smoke”!        I got help to become a healthier me—and family; not to mention a lot closer to a new hip that will allow me to care for the people I love. John explained the program and encouraged me. I felt relaxed and confident with his help. I was convinced I was finished with cigarettes.

It works!! Thank you, John!!

No Desire to Smoke

Two Months Later, No Desire to Smoke!

I went to see John in July to get help with my smoking problem. I had tried several times to quit on my own in the past. It has been two months, and I have had no desire for a cigarette! My friends cannot believe I am no longer a smoker.

My children are so proud of me.

During the first session, my emotional attachment to tobacco was removed, and that was reinforced through the CD’s and affirmations. This choice has created much more space in my mind for other things (besides addiction). I highly recommend John.       If you want to change a behavior you feel you have no control over, he will convince you otherwise. YOU CAN QUIT.

Works like magic, based on science.

Thanks so much for everything, John.

Doesn't Even Want to Smoke

Former Smoker “Amazed"

My doctor referred me to try a different approach to quitting smoking because medication (Chantix) would be dangerous for me. I was skeptical about hypnosis, but I was willing to try it.

I was amazed at how well it worked.

I never really considered having another smoke.

I spent that money, threw away my cigarettes, and I wanted the results. There was something in me that just wouldn’t let me light up again. Here I am ten days later, and when I smell the side stream from others’ smoking, I don’t even want to smoke.

My chest congestion is clearing up

and I’m glad to be free from that expensive habit.

Kicks the Habit Without Irritability

Decades-Long Smoker Kicks the Habit Without Irritability

I went to John for help to quit smoking. I've been a smoker on and off since I was 15, and for the last ten years, mostly on. I've quit multiple times only to fall back into the grasp of the horrible habit. After my first visit with John, I did not pick up another cigarette.

I can't explain it. I was free.

The irritability I felt in my previous attempts was not there. I no longer feel guilty because I no longer smoke. I am aware of a new type of control I have. I can use many tools I have been given at any time of the day. They are easy to use and prove to be my lifeboat in many aspects of my life. 

I am forever grateful.

Pleased to be Done

Pleased to be Easily Done with Smoking

I came to John to reinforce my decision to quit smoking. I had smoked for 15 years prior to quitting. 

With the techniques John taught me,

it made quitting much easier.

The most helpful was the anchor technique. Whenever I happened to think about smoking, I went to the anchor and quickly forgot about wanting to smoke.

I have been smoke free for four weeks and counting!

I've never felt better, and I will take what I have learned here and apply it to many other things for a lifetime!

I will be forever grateful for everything

and recommend John Hunckler to others.

 

35-Year-Old Female

Sales/Marketing Executive

I have truly been changed by my experience.I can now say, "I used to do that and I don't smoke anymore." This is a huge accomplishment as I have smoked since I was 15, and have quit (unsuccessfully) many times.

I came a little skeptical about how it would work. But now I believe in the power of these techniques completely, and I've recommended this to my husband and friends.

There are very few moments in our lives that we can say,

"That moment changed my life forever."

After Forty Years of Smoking

Teacher Frees Himself from Cigarettes

After 50 "pack-years" (according to the American Cancer Society), I'm off the butts.

I shouldn't have waited so long, but there it is.

Withdrawal was nothing, urges to smoke disappeared, and my sense of smell and taste are returning. I look forward to hiking and swimming without wheezing.

If you're ready to live the truth, a life without the lies of cigarettes, go, thou, and do likewise.

It smells good.

30-Year-Old Mom

Feels Like "New Parent" to Her 14-Year-Old Son

I came to John for help quitting smoking. Since my first session, I no longer smoke. My husband started the program shortly after I did and is also smoke free! 

Quitting smoking has brought us closer together by just wanting to be all-around healthier. We bike, cook, play tennis, and spend our time doing fun things—rather  than sitting on the porch smoking.

My son said he feels like he has new parents!

I would recommend John Hunckler to anyone who wants to quit smoking. The cost is a small investment for a longer lifetime of good health!

35-Year-Old Father & Mail Carrier

Completely Done

After 19 Years!

I have been a two-pack (sometimes three-pack) smoker for 19 years. I have tried gum, patches, even pills to stop. Nothing had worked until I walked out of my first session with John Hunckler.

No more cravings, no more breakdowns, 

no more "I will have just one."

I am completely done smoking. I have a new outlook on life now. I am feeling healthier every day. I love being able to smell wonderful things. I also enjoyed being able to do this (quitting smoking) with my wife. It has brought us closer in so many ways.

I would and have recommended John Hunckler to everyone.

"Sealed the Deal"

Hypnosis “Sealed the Deal” for Me

I did my first session with John when I was about five days clean of tobacco, and it totally “sealed the deal” for me. John met me where I was, and has coached me through staying clean through two additional sessions. What I’ve enjoyed most about working with John is his wisdom and understanding of my story. He really listens to me and is respectful of my desires, and he wants me to reach my goal of staying smoke free.

Since the first session, a few weeks ago, I remain tobacco free and have never felt healthier or more confident in my ability to quit. John has equipped me with some tools/strategies that I’ll continue to use for self-healing as other obstacles are thrown in my way down the road.

I’d highly recommend John

to anyone who is committed to quitting smoking.

Kicked the Habit with No Hesitation

Sleeping Better, Too!

I came to John to quit smoking after 15 years. Soon after leaving my first session, I threw away all my cigarettes with no hesitation . . . even my "emergency" smokes I kept in a separate place! I truly believed I was done. I'm now two weeks smoke free. I haven't had a cigarette since before my first session.

The desire to smoke is still present, but the urges aren't as strong as in the past when I've "tried" to quit. I faithfully use the tools John gave me, and they get me through when nothing else ever has.

I'm also sleeping better and I'm able to fall asleep faster.

I was skeptical about this. Open your mind and give this a chance. Use these tools. They will work for you if you want them to (too)!

Fear, Anxiety, and Reaching Worthy Goals

Columbian Lawyer Finds Help with Anxiety

I came to see John because I had a great crisis of anxiety and lack of confidence. We started with my fears, and then started treating a problem that I did not know I had. A big part of your achievement will belong to you as you follow John's guidance and counsel. The techniques he taught me will be useful for the rest of my life, and that is invaluable knowledge.

I offer more than a recommendation—

visiting John is a must if you want to know yourself better.

Finds Stress Relief

18-Year-Old Finds Stress Relief

When I started seeing John, I was feeling stressed and overwhelmed almost every day. He has taught me to cope with the stress, but more importantly how NOT to stress over things outside of my control. I have learned how to let go of things from the past that only hurt me by holding onto them. In this time, I have lost a job that I loved, but I traded it for a job with better pay where I also get to work with friends. I also have moved out to live with my two good friends. I would definitely recommend this to others.

(It has even helped me stop biting my nails when I am nervous or stressed.)

I don’t know the extent of my own personal problems or hold-ups, but working with John has helped me become aware that I can make it through any problematic situation.

Many Prayers Answered to Get Unstuck

Relationship Issues Resolved

I sought out Mr. Hunckler because I was looking for a hypnotherapist to resolve some relationship issues. I had not been able to move beyond a certain point and finally sought help to do so. After several sessions, my life in general lightened up and I felt and still feel I am on a stretch of good karma. In other words, many prayers have been answered, including my original intent, and I feel as though I am well on my way to getting past where I had been stuck for so long.

I would, and often do, recommend Mr. Hunckler

to anyone who would like to reach out for some major help.

"Working with John has helped me."

Hypnosis has given me a greater sense of self mastery, and this relaxed state has helped me explore my intuition and tap into my own creative processes.

Self-hypnosis helps me shape the climate of my mind, proving to be a tool to help me change myself. It has helped me study, sleep, and build confidence. In this relaxed state, my mind has more resources available to create vivid imaginative scenes and work out problems I would not be able to solve as easily in my usual waking state.

After working with John, I feel confident that I have had behavioral change and improved self-mastery and creativity.

More Positive Mindset

This Professional Shifted to a More Positive Mindset

I initially came to see John to shut off the subconscious negativity that has plagued me for years. The negativity especially affected me in my professional life. I asked John for help in stopping the negativity that plagued me. After our first session, almost all of my subconscious negativity was gone!

I could not believe how quickly the process worked for me.

My “symptoms” had improved by 60 - 70% after one session!!       

I would definitely recommend John to people as the benefits of your small investment will pay you dividends for a lifetime!

Gets Help Controlling TMJ Discomfort

I came to John Hunckler in the hopes of dealing with my TMJD—Temporal-Mandibular Joint Disorder. I have to say that I had no expectations but was open to trying something new.

I have been very pleased with my progress.

I have learned things about myself that have helped me better with stress, which helps me with the TMJD.

The process has been very introspective, which I am very pleased about. I feel I have grown as a person in many ways and deal with my stresses in a calmer more productive way.

My TMJD will not go away, but having a way to deal with it that gives me control is very empowering.

I would highly recommend John Hunckler to anyone for help in reaching a life fitness goal.

Sluggish, Sore, and Stressed No More

I came to John Hunckler with the sole goal of losing weight, but I have discovered much more.

I am losing weight, slowly, without fanfare.

Eight pounds in two months wouldn't make much of a TV commercial, but my pants are loose and I feel better than I have in years.

But more importantly, I'm learning to slow down and pay attention.

I'm learning to identify old habits and the manner in which I ineffectively responded to stress. Without mindful attention, my body and mind were sluggish, sore, and stressed, caught in an ineffective cycle.

Now I have tools to make adjustments throughout the day.

Retiree

Achieving Real Power in Her Life

I originally began working with John Hunckler for weight loss. I found I had many blocks from things in my life which probably aided in the weight gain. (I think I knew that all along.)

However, I have been learning how to deal with those things—those blockages—and that has made a huge difference in my life. Through the use of self-hypnosis and other tools, I feel I have no really bad or hard feelings toward anyone past or present.

This year, my husband and I retired.

This was an entirely new experience for us and a time when I might have become anxious and depressed, as I have difficulty with change. I experienced none of that.

I actually feel free, liberated—free from excess mental baggage.

Thank you, John, for your care and patience.
