Massage Therapy Boosts Your Immune System Body, Mind & Spirit Smoking Cessation Program with Thea Litsios
Research strongly suggests that massage therapy boosts your immune system by increasing white blood cell count, an added bonus to a relaxing or pain-relieving massage session. Your health and safety is of great importance to Abundant Health Massage Therapy & Wellness. They are complying with CT state mandates in regards to safety protocols. In addition, they are surpassing those protocols with the following: • New air purifier with HEPA filter and UVC light remains on before, during, and after all massage sessions. • New UVC germicidal light is being used in between client sessions to sterilize every surface inside the massage room. • Massage appointments are spaced out, so there is plenty of time for thorough disinfection. This also eliminates the chance of clients encountering other clients entering/exiting the office, and there is no waiting in the waiting room. • Temperature checks and COVID questionnaires for every client.

The Body, Mind & Spirit Smoking Cessation Program is a 4-week program using the powerful tool of hypnosis to assist you to quit smoking. We will explore how awareness of each aspect play an important role in eliminating the powerful habit of smoking. At the end of the 4-week period, with your full commitment and participation, you will be a non-smoker.
Thea Litsios, Certified Life Coach and Hypnotist, has successfully assisted individuals to quit smoking. In her previous class, a smoker for 40 years was able to finally quit smoking. To assist you on this journey you will get the support of a community of other participants in the program, so you will not be walking this road alone. Included in this program will be one 30-minute individual hypnosis session where you will get 1:1 attention and an individualized hypnotic recording in the final week of the program.
Are you ready for a change in your life but you feel as if there is just this one habit that is holding you back? If you could just master this one aspect of your life, then all the other things would seem doable? If that’s how you are feeling then this program is for you.
Conducted via Zoom starting Thursday, January 7th, 7 - 8 pm ET for 4 consecutive weeks (1/14, 1/21, & 1/28) plus one 30-minute personal hypnosis session.
