"Dear Katherine Wong, as I started off smoking 50-60 cigarettes a day I'm very proud of only having smoked a few sticks a day. Yet I have to kick the habit completely and believe I can do it. Thank you so much for all your help."

"Thank you very much for all your help and support. Although I have not reached my goal yet of being smoke free, I have made progress vastly by cutting down to levels that I did not think were possible three weeks ago. With a final push I will reach there so thank you again."

"I came to Hypnae Center to give up smoking and found that the sessions have not only helped me to heavily decrease my intake, but have relieved a lot of my day to day anxiety and worry that used to prevent me from sleeping and put me on edge.
I'm confident these sessions have provided me with the mental strength to completely give up smoking- the rest is up to me.
More importantly, I'm learning to relax!"

"Before I met Dr Chua, I was on drugs. Drugs make my life difficult. I can't be with my family, I am always depressed, and I can't manage my money properly. I also smoked two packets of cigarettes a day and I was overweight. My life was out of track. And then suddenly, I met Dr Chua through my sister. She introduced him to me. We chatted for awhile and I've decided to go for therapy sessions with him. After 14 sessions with him, I feel very good. I quit drugs and cigarettes from day one. At first I was skeptical that I would have a cold turkey or any withdrawal symptoms. To my surprise, I wasn't having any of those throughout my sessions and up until now. I also managed to lose 4 kg in a week. Thank you Dr Chua, thank you very much for helping me to solve these problems and put my life back on the road again."

"Sebelum saya bertemu Dr Chua, saya menggunakan Narkoba. Narkoba membuat hidup saya menjadi susah. Saya tidak bisa bersama keluarga saya, saya selalu merasa tertekan, dan saya tidak bisa mengatur kevangan saya dengan baik. Saya juga merokok dua bungkus rokok sehari dan saya juga kelebihan berat badan. Hidup saya keluar jalur. Dan tiba-tiba saya dikenalkan Dr. Chua oleh kakak saya. Saat itu juga kita berbincang-bincang dan memutuskan untuk melakukan terapi dengannya. Setelah ki sesi dengannya saya merasa senang sekali. Saya berhenti Narkoba dan rokok sejak hati pertama. Pertamanya saya pesinis kalau saya nantinya tidak akan mengalamirasa sakit atau sakau karena berhenti menggunakan Narkoka. Tetapi saya terkejut ternyata saya tidak mengalaminyaselama sesi-sesi saya sampai dengan sekarang. Saya juga telah kehilangan 4kg dalam seminggu. Terima kasih Dr. Chua, terima kasih telah menolong saya dengan masalah-masalah saya, dan mengembalikan saya ke jalan yang benar lagi."

"An introduction into the art of relaxation. Intriguingly effective. Dr Casey's perspective eye drives to the root of the problem and after the first session I was no longer a smoker. After three sessions, I feel very comfortable that I will remain that way."

"I have been really happy to have 6 hypnosis sessions with Hypnae Center twice a week at lunch time because it was a good occasion for me to have a useful nap. You rest and she does the job. After 45 minutes you feel relax but in addition you do not need to smoke anymore! Since I tried hypnosis I do think that smoking is not addictive but simply a habit."

I also learnt recently, to re-learn the power of positive thought and relaxing methods that I have forgotten.
I have also managed to de-stress and manage moments of stress at work and on my personal life. Thank you very, very much."

"I sought help from Dr Casey Chua, to see if hypnosis can help me in term of learning to relax, stop smoking and sleep better. I also have issues with how self esteem and some personal problems that were adding to my stress.
Dr Chua took me through a series of six sessions which - to simply say that "It has helped" is such an understatement! I would say that it is the best thing I ever did! Even after the first session, I was able to stop smoking and had much better sleep in years! I found Dr Chua very professional and I really appreciated having been able to see him for all six sessions."

"I have tried again and again to give up smoking each time was painful and unsuccessful. With hypnotherapy, this time, it seemed so much easier. I'm not sure if it was all the therapy, perhaps mentally I was also in the right place to actually give up. Anyway, it worked, I achieved my goal and I no longer smoke!"

"I am now a believer in hypnotherapy after having successfully and relatively effortlessly quit smoking. My main aim in going for hypnotherapy was to stop smoking. I succeeded. What surprised me was how easy it was!
Since I started hypnotherapy, I have also been more drive and focused on my work, more even-tempered with my family and more concerned for my health. I firmly believe that this can be a powerful tool to improve many aspects of my life. I'm so glad I came!"

"Since I started hypnosis at the Hypnae Center in order to quit smoking, I must finally say that I have finally been smoke free which is an incredible feeling. I feel like after being able to quit smoking, I have more confidence within myself and feel that there is a new chapter beginning for me in my life with a more positive and healthy outlook."

"I think we didn't quite accomplish what we wanted to but we at least managed to bring the number of sticks down. Perhaps upon reflecting on the sessions down the road I'll eventually kick the habit."

"Dear Katherine, although I have not stopped smoking yet completely, I think I am only a short distance away. The hypnosis session have helped me to find peace and a quiet time for myself to reflect and distress. The understanding of the harmful effects of cigarettes is certainly there, and I really believe through the hypnosis it is manifested even more.
Maybe I haven't stopped yet, because I like come back each time? Who knows! I will start listening to my CD now and will let you know as my progress soon."

"This has been a very helpful course. In 14 years of working, I have never successfully managed to stay smoke-free. Right from the first hypnotherapy session, the desire to smoke reduced while I did smoke after the first session, I found I was unable to even have half of a cigarette. From the second session onward, I have not smoked - not even a single puff. Each day since has further reduced any lingering desire to smoke, and I find myself very present to such desires and therefore better able to successfully resist them. As each day has passed, my confidence in being able to stay away completely from smoking is increasing. The health benefits, from clearer lungs, lower acidity/heartburn, and better quality sleep are all immediately evident, and withdrawal symptoms are almost non-existent. This has overall been a very positive life affirming course. I will never smoke again. You have my deepest gratitude for helping me overcome this unhealthy dependence."

"What hypnosis did was to teach me to learn how to concentrate, relax and analyze why I should stop smoking. It's one step above meditation and a more controlled thinking environment."

"Since attending the sessions at the Center, I have beaten the urge to smoke cigarettes. This, I believe is due to Dr Chua's help on this issue.
I have attempted to stop smoking many times over twenty years and I today, leave this Center knowing that I am a non-smoker with no intention of ever returning to this habit."

"Smoking - I have been a smoker for about 10 years. The first five as a pack a day, the second five, I just could not kick the "social smoking".
I came to Dr Casey and after two sessions, I no longer craved them. I could go out and drink and not even think of having one.
Weight Loss - I have always been an emotional eater. When things happened good or bad I would eat. I found after seeing Dr Casey that the panic or focus was no longer there for me when I was around food. The way I eat has changed; I eat slower and eat less. I have been very happy with my results."

"I came to give up smoking. Although I am still smoking a few cigarettes a day, I smoke nowhere near as much as I did, and still believe I am on the road to quitting completely.
The hypnosis has helped me to gain the confidence and belief in myself to quit, and also has given me a vision of myself as a non smoker that I am striving towards being."
