With 2012 just around the corner, we at Satori are excited to announce that 2012 is the best and easiest year yet to quit smoking.  Last year we added Laser Acupuncture to our existing successful smoking cessation treatment methods.  This year, we are supporting your efforts to quit smoking by combining three different approaches to giving you your best opportunity to quit smoking for good.

Dr. Berenstein (Laser Acupuncture), Dr. Ivanovics (Naturopathy), and Raymond Elias (Hypnotherapy) are combining their smoking cessation methods to create the ultimate natural approach to permanently quit smoking.  These practitioners will work together on your behalf to craft an individually tailored program that is suited to your lifestyle and needs.

Satori is excited to introduce the most comprehensive natural approach to smoking cessation with the:

SATORI SMOKING CESSATION PACKAGE

Quitting smoking is necessary for good health. However, quitting smoking, like other addictions, can be a difficult and daunting task. 90% of smokers who quit smoking relapse within six months, and for those who have tried to quit smoking in the past, you know that it involves more than just breaking old habits and toughening up your willpower. Once you decide to quit, there is still the hurdle of avoiding temptation and eventual relapse. Fortunately, there are a variety of different techniques and approaches to smoking cessation available to help smokers quit. A combination of different treatments is by far the most effective approach to smoking cessation.

Many individuals experience physical withdrawal symptoms when they attempt to quit, resulting in relapse. Some common and uncomfortable symptoms include increased appetite and weight gain, irritability, impatience, anxiety, fatigue, difficulty concentrating and restlessness. Having a professional support team on hand is critical during this transition period.

The team at Satori Urban Wellness uses several different smoking cessation methods to help you through this challenging transformation:

1. Laser acupuncture therapy: Break the addiction cycle and eliminate the cravings associated with addiction withdrawal with acu-laser therapy. Using the principles of ear acupuncture (auriculotherapy), laser acupuncture targets specific ear points to induce the brain to release neurotransmitters such as dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins – the pleasure chemicals of the brain).

2. Naturopathic medicine: Dr. Suzanna provides you with an individually tailored program to help you quit and to remain nicotine free. Botanical medicine, nutrition, and lifestyle counselling are employed to help reduce cravings, decrease symptoms of withdrawal, and prevent weight gain. Naturopathic doctors recognize people smoke for different reasons. Dr. Suzanna will support you to avoid trigger situations, encourage healthy alternatives, and address any underlying stressors, health concerns that trigger smoking or may have resulted from years of nicotine use.

3. Hypnotherapy works at the subconscious level, allowing you to discover the causes of the cravings and then shift your focus to positive feelings and associations to eliminate the desire to smoke.  This method provides you with a long-term approach to quitting smoking.
