I saw Michelle in 2021 and I haven't picked up smoking ever since- I was a pack a day smoker, smoking from a young teenager, and the moment I walked out that office it's just never been on my mind - highly recommend! The investment makes itself back almost instantly

UPDATE! Cigarattes, Alcohol and Coffee! Michelle is amazing; she made it seem as sipmle as a flick of a switch.Over 4 years as a non-smoker and still going strong! Quitting smoking was a breeze initially, but the first three weeks of emotional withdrawals were a rollercoaster. My husband and I (we did a session each on the same day) had plenty of 'lively discussions'. Thankfully, we kept reminding each other why we were doing it. Now, we never think of smoking, don’t feel like we’re missing out, and can’t believe we ever smoked. We wish we had met Michelle a decade earlier. Best money ever spent!Fast forward to over 2 years ago, during a very stressful period at work (I’m an educator), I turned to wine for stress relief. A glass quickly morphed into a bottle a day. Realising this was a bad habit, I visited Michelle because I needed a break. Since then, I've seen so much research highlighting the negative effects of alcohol on our physiology and psychology. I’m never going back, and I'm better for it. It was tough at first, but with Michelle's help, my subconscious kept me on track, reminding me that I am no longer a slave to alcohol.Most recently, I returned to Michelle to help me bid farewell to my beloved coffee. I was having an immune reaction to it – not severe enough to force me quit using willpower alone, but enough to be effecting my health. I had serious side effects for about 10 days after stopping, but not once did I even think about going to the coffee shop.With my deepest gratitude, thankyou Michelle! You have helped me live a better and healtier life. The work you are doing is important. I hope you continue to make a difference for people who struggle with their vices, for many years to come. xxx

Michelle was extremely professional and reassuring of the process. From the initial consult, Michelle makes you feel at ease and does her best to understand all individual situations. At first I was skeptical and during the process thought this wouldn’t work as I felt I hadn’t entered a “state of hypnosis”. Again Michelle talked me through what I was feeling and explained everyone experience differs. I walked out of the session and haven’t picked up a vape again, it’s now been 4 months.Thank you so so much Michelle!

Giving up smoking was so easy with the assistance of Michelle. It is close to 4 months since my last cigarette and I am feeling so much better health and confidence wise. The process was so simple by just listening to Michelle for 1.5 hours in her controlled environment. Thanks once again.

Michelle was professional, respectful and easy to get along with. She made me feel at ease while asking me questions about my routines and triggers. I listened to her speak about my smoking habit and undergo a gentle hypnosis. After walking out of her office I never smoked again and am still nicotine free to this day. Thank you Michelle for breaking the habit that I never could on my own! I owe you so much! Would highly recommend her!! 😍

I was initially skeptical about the effectiveness of hypnotherapy to help with smoking addiction. Michelle was totally professional and her reasoning and explanations were clear. After my one and only session, I had no inclination to want to smoke. Nearly a year later, despite a few careless instances of 'falling off the wagon', my resolve remains.

I visited Michelle this year for help with an addiction issue I was facing (not smoking). I found her welcoming, attentive, professional and direct. Being hypnotised was a new experience for me. I was mentally perfectly alert but physically relaxed to the point where I didn't feel a need to move. The therapeutic benefits of the session were obvious straight after. I felt a new sense of optimism. Michelle is a calm and incisive councilor and I left better equipped to tackle the issues I was facing.

I had been a smoker of 16yrs and have tried many different methods of quitting smoking, none more successful and easy than hypnotherapy with Michelle. Michelle puts you at ease and makes the effort to get to know you, your reasons for smoking and reasons for wanting to quit to tailor the session personally to you. My partner and I have now been smoke free for 6 weeks and the thought of smoking doesn't even cross my mind, so happy we took this step. Thanks Michelle!

Michelle is amazing. I have tried many methods and this is the one that has provided me the best results.She is really there for you, and the information asked prior to the session shows she has a real vested interest in you as an individual.If you are thinking about quitting then I wholeheartedly recommend you get in touch with her and watch your life transform for the better.Thankyou Michelle

I was keen to stop smoking, 50 years seems long enough really! Never been a huge smoker but you've got to give it to me for persistence. Had heard about success with hypnotherapy and was really pleased with Michelle's approach and her advice prior to the appointment. It's worked really well for me and hasn't been as difficult as I thought and I feel more confident each day that I'm no longer a smoker. Thanks Michelle much appreciated!!

I had been a smoker for 17 years, and was initially quasi-skeptical of hypnotherapy. However, after only one session with Michelle, I have not even felt any triggers or urges to smoke in almost 5 months. As soon as I walked out of her office, I really knew that I was a non-smoker. I was incredibly surprised at the effectiveness of the treatment and the way it moved me through a space where I don't need to inhale smoke anymore. Michele was an excellent communicator pre- and post-treatment, and was a definite motivating and sincere presence during the process. I appreciate her practice and would highly recommend her services if you are ready to cease smoking. 10/10 all the way.

Michelle is SO LOVELY! She makes you feel really comfortable and the things she says just make sense. She can relate to you as an ex smoker, but is also realistic about hypnosis not being some kind of magic.While quitting smoking was not easy for me personally, I really feel like my session Michelle helped to reinforce that I could do it. I haven't smoked since our session (around 3 months now) and I was a full on chain smoker prior. I loved cigarettes and smoking and could not imagine my life without them. If you're really ready to give up and are prepared to put in the effort for the first 4 weeks then I definitely recommend a session with Michelle to help. While it wasn't a 'magic cure' for me, something definitely switched in my mind and my willpower was enough to stop for once.You just need to get through the first 4 weeks and it gets much easier. Now I no longer think about smoking all day and am starting to feel the health benefits of being a non smoker.

quit smoking through hypnosis
“IT WORKS! Forty years of smoking and in 90 minutes I became a non-smoker. It has now been 6 months of clean living. I was a bit tentative about this idea but thought I had little to lose by trying. I did not have the will-power to do this on my own and hypnosis was my last option.
Michelle is such a wonderful person to work with. Meeting her and sharing with her was so comfortable from the start and right through the whole process. She listens carefully and truly understands. It was such an easy session, but such amazing results. Thank You Michelle.
For what this one session cost I recouped by not purchasing cigarettes. I feel great, have felt improved fitness, don’t smell of smoke and am not a social outcast. I also feel that I have so much more time – everything I do is not bookended by stopping for a smoke. There are a very few times that I have this whisper of a feeling to have a smoke, but it disappeared as quickly.
I am still astounded that a lifetime addiction can be stopped in 90 minutes! I actually enjoyed talking with Michelle and felt so comfortable throughout – warm, friendly and totally understanding. If you are at all thinking about trying hypnosis, and really do want to quit – GO FOR IT.
My only regret…why not many years ago. I am healthy, save money and totally in control. Great work Michelle – maybe a life saver”
Jo, Southbank
“Just a quick note to thank you for helping me stop smoking. After 39 years of abusing my body with cigarette smoke, I can finally say I am a non-smoker and loving it…. all thanks to YOU!
I really enjoyed my hypnotherapy session and walked out of your office more relaxed and confident to finally beat the habit for good; and my cravings were instantly gone!
I am really enjoying my freedom and I am so happy that I am no longer a smoker. I sincerely recommend you to anyone who wishes to give up smoking for life.”
Zed, St Kilda
“For 20 years I have tried many ways to stop smoking including hypnotherapy – twice. The first time it didn’t work at all; the second time I was smoking again within two months. I decided it had to be will power or nothing and last year I had cut my smoking down to 1-2 per day. But I still couldn’t stop altogether, so I started thinking about hypnotherapy again, and someone recommended Michelle.
Michelle was totally understanding and supportive. Before the session she asked me to fill out an e-mail form to provide personal information to help her tailor the session to my personal needs. This approach made a huge difference – I found it much easier to relax into a deep hypnotic state, to let go of my need to keep smoking and to start living as a non-smoker.
I recommend Michelle to anyone who wants to give up smoking; especially if you have been unsuccessful with hypnosis before. Michelle’s approach is unique – and it works!!!”
Carloyn, Footscray
“Hi Michelle, I am still a non-smoker and very happy about that. I am really grateful to you for your help as the session has been effective in quenching cravings and just basically making it something that doesn’t need to be in my life.
I am not complacent, knowing that it is an addiction that forms part of my past, but I am keen for a non-smoking future.
I am also up to 16km running which I couldn’t have done so I have focus and purpose.
Thank you again. You have 100% made a difference.”
Kerry, Edithvale
“I had been a smoker for over 20 years and towards the last 5 years of my smoking life, I would consume 30 cigarettes per day. Both my parents passed away from cancer related diseases and I felt it was time to drop this terrible addiction!
Although I knew this addiction was causing me harm, I had failed in my numerous attempts to quit until I met Michelle almost 2 years ago. Feb 23rd 2013 will be my 2 year anniversary as a non smoker.
Michelle made me feel comfortable and the entire process was extremely easy. I have and will continue recommending Michelle’s services to my friends and family. I found her to be personable, honest and passionate about helping people achieve their respective goals and outcomes.”

“I had a hypnotherapy session with you two years ago for smoking……I haven’t had one since!! I have also recommended that a few people go to you, who also have not had another cigarette after seeing you.
I have just finished a hypnotherapy course at the Academy of Hypnotic Science (your hypnotherapy inspired my choice to study this modality) and I have studied a few other hypnotherapists that offer quit smoking therapy, but I think the way you conduct the therapy far out-weighs anything I have come across.
I just want to thank you for giving me my life back and for the inspiration!”
Julie, Winsor
“It was a great experience. It was not only effective but very relaxing as well. Have been cigarette free for 6 months now. I would highly recommend it.”
Alex, Park Orchards
“I was a smoker for nearly 20 years and with the upcoming birth of my first child I decided now was as good a time as any to try and quit for good this time. I’ve tried to quit lots of times before (willpower, patches, gum, vape) but always ended up having “one” and then quickly becoming addicted again.
I decided to pursue hypnosis as an option after hearing a few stories of success from friends and reading about it online. I decided to go with Michelle after finding her online with a google search.
The whole process was really simple. I was sceptical that hypnosis would work on me but in no time I was in a deep state of relaxation and Michelle began working on my subconscious mind. I really enjoyed it and found it incredibly relaxing. It was like a mediation session in a good way. Once we were done I immediately discarded my cigarettes and lighter and I haven’t touched one since the session.
It’s only been 2 and a half weeks but I still haven’t touched a cigarette. I still do find myself triggered in some situations, but Michelle has provided me with several tools and visual aids I can draw on whenever I get a craving and when using these they quickly pass. I’m feeling great so far and determined to quit for good this time. Michelle is excellent at what she does, and I would highly recommend her services. Will come back here and review in another 6 months I’m sure I’ll be a successful happy non-smoker.”

“Michelle, I just wanted to drop you a quick note to say that it’s almost 4 weeks after our hypnosis session and I am cigarette free and loving it!
I thought it would be difficult, but I haven’t had one craving since coming to see you and I haven’t gone through the binge eating stage of stacking on the kilos either.
I have been recommending you to other people and telling them that quitting with you makes it easy. I hope for their sake they book!”
Ben, Black Rock
“I just wanted to thank you for my session, and let you know that today marks 3 weeks smoke free! I won’t lie, I have had one while drinking last weekend, but apart from that it’s been so easy to just say no, and the cravings have completely diminished. Even after that one cigarette I had, I really regretted it and I think it helped me even more to realise how much I don’t miss it.
Thank you for your help!! I have recommended you to all my smoking friends for when they decide they are ready to give up like I have!”
Jayden, Caulfield
“Michelle was great to listen too. Very Professional approach and I would highly recommend. I feel so much better without smoking.”
Bart, Balaclava
“I was just tidying up some old emails and thought I’d let you know it’s been 57 days now. That’s just past the 8 week mark and still going strong. It’s officially the longest time I have ever been a non-smoker since I started the filthy habit 20 years ago.
I rarely think about cigarettes now, something I couldn’t ever imagine before! And I must say the midwives and my doula are mightily impressed. (As I’m sure is my growing little bump who thanks you profusely).
I am recommending you to all my smoking friends. Thank you!”
Danielle, Brunswick
“Michelle you bloody legend thank you so much for your help. 3 weeks on and no urge or craving for smoking. I am a 26 year old and I am around smokers all the time. And the weird thing is I don’t have a need or a want for a smoke. I (was) a pack and a half a day for 11 years so all jokes aside I loved my smoko breaks. Not anymore. Honesty I am very grateful I found Michelle.”
Luca, Endeavour Hills
“As promised, I am writing to you to update you on my progress. With a new year it’s always nice to reflect on your achievements from the previous year and my biggest one for 2014 is quitting smoking.
When I made the appointment with you, I was far from convinced that this will be my solution – the ‘quick fix’ I had been searching for. On my way into your office, I smoked 3 cigarettes in a row (just in case it worked). When I threw my cigarettes into your bin before the session, I still wasn’t convinced it would work. Then the hypnosis began. It was not what I was expecting. I heard everything you said. I listened carefully and understood the instructions but was still critical and unsure how your words could possibly change my life and help me quit smoking once and for all.
I am very pleased to report, thanks to you and your words, I have the ‘quick fix’ I needed. I have not only quit smoking but I am now motivating others to do the same.
What surprised me the most was not the health improvements, not the extra money I had in my wallet but it was the happiness that came with what I call my extra brain space. Now that I am not constantly thinking about my next cigarette or do I need to buy another packet or do I need to spray perfume to cover up the smell etc etc.. I have time to think about the things that are most important to me. What I need out of my day or my life. How I can be a better friend or family member. This year was the best Christmas in my adult memory as I wasn’t searching for excuses to run off and hide to have a cigarette. My relationships have improved because I am simply more present.
And for me, my creative side is flourishing and I am working on a number of new projects. I am seeking new job opportunities because I feel I am more confident than ever to be able to explore my interests and build on my career. I now have the motivation I have been searching for my entire adult life.
So Michelle, thank you. You have helped me change my life forever and for that, I am eternally grateful.”
Meg, Prahran
“I made an appointment as a decade long smoker who was a cynic of Hypnotism. Not only did I stop smoking immediately, I subconsciously forgot that I was ever a smoker even when surrounded by them. Michelle also used a technique in our session which aided me in other health interests as opposed to just smoking. Cynic no more & reaping the benefits.”
Tyson, Watsonia
“It still seems too good to be true that in only one session I had stopped smoking & haven’t in the almost two years looked back, especially considering I’m always around my friends who all smoke.
Since our session my health has improved & the money that I have saved is amazing. I’m so happy I was referred to you, you truly have changed my life for the better.
Thank you so much Michelle.”
Kelly, Melton
“After smoking for around 13 years and trying to kick the habbit for around 7, I contacted Michelle as she was located close to my office and after reviewing her website it sounded she had a logical approach to the therapy (in lieu of a ‘spiritual’ approach that I am fairly cynical of). Michelle helped me focus on the reasons I wanted to quit and the therapay was very relaxing, not what I was expecting but really easy. It has been 6 months now and I haven’t had any considerable cravings. Really happy with the therapy, thanks Michelle!!!”
Oli, Highett
“Being a smoker for 25 years I had attempted unsuccessfully to quit on a couple of occasion using patches. As much as i enjoyed smoking, I felt and knew it was time to quit for a multitude of reasons. I decided to pursue hypnosis as an option and found Michelle online and decided to call to make an appointment. I found Michelle professional and easy to talk to and clearly very knowledgeable about the process of quitting through hypnosis. The whole process, once providing Michelle with all the information she required was simple. I walked into the session with a packet of smokes and lighter in my pocket, upon leaving I found it simple to get rid of both. I have now been a non smoker for nearly 12 months and know that it’s a habit I wont return too.”
Cameron, Berwick
“It’s 12 months today since I had a smoke. I’m still spun out by how easy it was. I’m heaps fitter and a lot happier without them. Just thought I’d let you know. Thanks again mate.”
Simon, Collingwood
“I used to be a pack a day smoker. I had been smoking on and off since the age of 15. I tried patches and other pharmacy products to give up but they never really helped mentally.
After a cigarette I would hate the way my clothes smelt, my hair & my hands. Sometimes when I hadn’t had a cigarette in a while and someone would walk past me who had just had a cigarette, you could smell it & it did NOT smell good & I would think to myself “Wow, that’s how bad I smell just after a cigarette!!!”
Michelle was very easy to talk to and understood what challenges smokers have when trying to give up. I spent time on the phone with Michelle even before meeting her and could really sense that she cares. Michelle also discussed tips which helped me prepare for my appointment with her. It left me with such a good impression of what was to come during our session.
After our session I left her office and never touched another cigarette! I also recommended her to someone else I knew who was a heavy smoker and he has stopped as well.
The way I look at it and what I tell people…..You have absolutely nothing to lose by giving Michelle a go, well the only thing you will lose is the addiction to smoking!”
