Smoking Cessation
Hypnosis is a deep state of relaxation during which suggestions are made to create beneficial changes in thoughts or behaviors. In hypnosis the mind is open to new ideas which encourages a balanced receptive approach to solving problems. It provides tools to manage everyday stresses and habits while giving respite to the overworked mind. We all know taking care of our physical body is important, but few people stop to think about how our minds quite literally never stop working for us.
By appointment only. Please contact Marli by text, email or phone at 401-999-7876 or margaret@bothhandshypnosis.com to arrange a consultation. Please click HERE for her website.
