My i-Breathe Free Programme

Your Path to a Healthier, Smoke-Free Life

At i-hypnosis, I’m Pam Hewstone, a clinical hypnotherapist with over 16 years experience helping people reclaim control over their lives by breaking free from smoking and vaping. My passion and mission is simple: to support you in achieving lasting freedom from nicotine addiction. That’s why I created the i-Breathe Free programme - a personalised, effective solution to help you quit smoking and vaping for good.

Why Hypnotherapy for Smoking and Vaping?

Smoking and vaping aren't just physical habits - they’re deeply rooted psychological patterns that often stem from stress, emotional triggers, or even boredom. That’s why willpower alone isn’t always enough to quit. My i-Breathe Free programme uses hypnotherapy to address both the mental and emotional aspects of nicotine addiction, making it easier to let go of these habits once and for all.

Through hypnotherapy, you’ll enter a state of deep relaxation, where we can access the unconscious mind - the part of you that controls habits and automatic behaviours. This allows me to help you reprogramme your thoughts and associations with smoking or vaping, so you no longer feel the urge to reach for that cigarette or vape pen, enabling you to unlock the chains of addiction. Just imagine being able to unclock the chains of addiction, leading you to a bright, liberated future.

How i-Breathe Free Works

In my i-Breathe Free programme, I focus on creating a safe, supportive environment tailored to your individual needs. Whether you’re a heavy smoker or someone who has recently taken up vaping, my goal is to help you quit in a way that feels natural and sustainable. Here’s how we’ll work together to make that happen:

1. Breaking the Habit Loop: hypnotherapy is powerful because it helps to break the automatic patterns that keep you smoking or vaping. By targeting the root causes - whether it’s stress, boredom, or social triggers - I’ll guide you through a process that rewires your mind to see these habits for what they are: harmful, unnecessary, and replaceable with healthier choices.

2. Craving Control: one of the toughest parts of quitting is managing the cravings. Through hypnotherapy, we’ll work on reducing the intensity of these cravings by reframing your relationship with nicotine. You’ll find it easier to resist the urge as you develop new, healthier coping strategies.

3. Rebuilding Confidence: quitting smoking or vaping is a big step, and for many, the fear of failure can be overwhelming. I’m here to remind you that you have the strength to succeed. Together, we’ll work to boost your self-confidence, helping you see yourself as a non-smoker or non-vaper. Visualising success is a powerful motivator, and I’ll help you build a positive mindset to make your goal a reality.

4. Stress Management: many people turn to nicotine as a way to handle stress, but it’s not the only way. Hypnotherapy helps you develop new, more effective ways to manage stress and anxiety, so you won’t feel the need to reach for a cigarette or vape. You’ll be able to tackle life’s challenges with a clearer, healthier mind.

5. Creating Lasting Change: the i-Breathe Free programme is not a quick fix - it’s a lasting solution. My approach is designed to help you make permanent changes in your life, by replacing harmful habits with positive ones that support your well-being.

Self-Hypnosis - Empowering You for Long -Term Success

An essential part of the i-Breathe Free program is teaching you self-hypnosis, a powerful tool that ensures the positive changes we make during therapy are maintained long after our sessions end. Self-hypnosis is a vital aspect of your journey to a smoke-free lifestyle, as it allows you to reinforce the suggestions and visualisations provided during therapy on a daily basis.

When you're in a hypnotic trance state, your mind becomes highly receptive and suggestible, making it the perfect time to implement positive suggestions about your health, confidence, and ability to remain free from smoking or vaping. During our sessions, I’ll guide you through this process, and you’ll be equipped to practise self-hypnosis at home for just a few minutes each day.

By practising self-hypnosis regularly, you’ll strengthen the mental shifts we've made in therapy, helping you:

Increase Confidence: feel more empowered in your decision to remain smoke-free.

Maintain Healthy Habits: support positive changes like better eating habits and regular exercise.

Manage Stress: develop effective tools to handle stress and anxiety without turning to nicotine.

Self-hypnosis is your key to ensuring long-term success, giving you the confidence and tools to stay committed to a smoke-free lifestyle.

The Dangers of Smoking and Vaping

The health risks associated with smoking and vaping are significant and far-reaching.Studies have found that even e-cigarettes claiming to be nicotine free contain amounts of nicotine which negatively affects adolescent brain development, and when heated up more toxic chemicals are formed which can be found in antifreeze, paint solvent, weed killer and much more. Smoking is the leading cause of preventable diseases, including cancer, heart disease, and chronic respiratory illnesses. It drastically increases the risk of developing Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), which can cause life-threatening breathing problems. For those smoking 20 cigarettes a day, their heart works overtime - beating 20,000 times more per day compared to a non - smoker, putting immense strain on the cardiovascular system.

But the dangers don’t just stop with the smoker. Second hand smoke harms those around you, especially loved ones. Children exposed to smoke are at higher risk of sudden infant death syndrome (cot death), and they are more likely to pick up smoking themselves later in life. Choosing to quit smoking or vaping isn’t just about improving your health; it’s about protecting the people you care about as well.

The Benefits of Quitting Smoking and Vaping

The good news is that the body begins to heal itself almost immediately after quitting. Within just 24 hours, the risk of having a heart attack begins to decrease. By 48 hours, nerve endings start to regenerate, leading to improvements in your sense of smell and taste. In 72 hours, your bronchial tubes begin to relax, making it easier to breathe, and your lung capacity starts to increase, allowing you to be more active without feeling out of breath.

As you continue your journey, the benefits only grow. Within 2 - 3 weeks, your circulation improves, walking becomes easier, and lung function can increase by up to 30%. Over time, your life expectancy increases, your skin becomes healthier, and perhaps most satisfying of all, you’ll notice more money in your pocket - no more spending on cigarettes or vape supplies!
