STOP SMOKING! Train your mind to ‘kick the habit’!

“

smoking. Many people find that cravings, stressful situations and other ‘triggers’ stand in their way of ‘kicking the habit’ successfully; this is where Hypnotherapy can help. Hypnotherapy works by uncovering the root cause to your smoking habit and the reasons you continue to smoke, it helps you to break down your links and triggers, manage cravings and find new ways to deal with stressful situations. Whilst you are in hypnosis, your inner conflicts with regards to giving up smoking can be easily resolved, thus resulting in you changing your behaviours and becoming a non-smoker.

Just one session of hypnotherapy with Gemma King can free you from your need for cigarettes. Research published in ‘New Scientist’ magazine stated that “hypnosis is the most effective way of giving up smoking, according to the largest scientific comparison of ways of breaking the habit, willpower, it turns out, counts for very little” (New Scientist Magazine, vol 136 issue 1845).

There are alternative ways to stop smoking such as Nicotine Replacement Therapy which includes skin patches, nicotine gum, inhalers and nasal sprays, which release a decreased amount of nicotine into your body, replacing one nicotine for another. NRT is used over a period of weeks and can actually extend the amount of time it takes you to stop smoking. Studies show that “using NRT is no more effective in helping people stop smoking cigarettes in the long term than trying to quit on one’s own”, (Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) and the University of Massachusetts, Boston.).

Hypnotherapy is a safe and natural way to help you kick your smoking habit and replace it with a new, healthier behaviour. Studies have proven that hypnosis is three times more effective than nicotine replacement. If you believe it is time you stopped smoking and started enjoying a healthier lifestyle with extra cash in your pocket and a fresher, fitter outlook on life; then in one simple session, hypnotherapy can transform your life and help you become a healthy non-smoker.

Read how one very happy customer stopped smoking in just one session with Gemma King Hypnotherapy.

I would absolutely recommend Gemma if you, like me, have tried everything else to give up smoking and have failed. I was made to feel at ease from the moment I arrived. The treatment room was very calming. I have only needed one session and am pleased to say I am on week number 7 and have never felt so positive about becoming a non-smoker and staying that way. I was spending £200 per month and smoking 20 per day. I am looking at getting out of council accommodation with the savings I am making.

Thank you Gemma, you will never know what it means to have succeeded, finally and no I have no intention of ever smoking again.

ANNOUNCES NEW HEADMASTER

FOR SEPTEMBER 2013

The Council of Governors of Bloxham School is delighted to announce that it has appointed Paul Sanderson to be the School’s new Headmaster commencing on 1 September 2013. Mr Sanderson will succeed Mark Allbrook who will retire in the Summer after 11 years of outstanding service to the school.

Mr Sanderson (40) is currently a Deputy Headteacher with responsibility for the curriculum in and out of the classrooms at Gordonstoun School in Scotland. He is married to Helen and they have three young children. He was educated at Banbridge Academy in Northern Ireland followed by a BSc (Hons) degree in Biological Science at the University of St Andrews. As a post graduate student he got his PGCE at Keble College, Oxford followed by a MEd in Educational Research at Jesus College, Cambridge.

Speaking with obvious delight at his appointment Paul commented: ‘I am both thrilled and delighted to have been appointed the 13th Headmaster of Bloxham School. My wife, Helen and I, are very excited to be coming to a school that has students at the heart of its thinking. I admire that its roots are borne out of a Christian commitment to the community and that it has pupil well-being as its central focus. By affording young people the

LEAMINGTON SPA leamingtonchamberorchestra.org.uk

Afternoon Tea Concert Sunday 24th February 3:00pm Leamington Town Hall Poulenc: Sinfonietta Berlioz: Love Scene from Romeo and Juliet Ravel: Le Tombeau de Couperin Saint-Saens: Piano Concerto No.2 Piano: Samantha Ward Conductor: Richard Laing Tickets: under 18 / Students: £2. Full Price tickets: £11, concessionary tickets: £9.

Available from: * leamingtonchamberorchestra.org.uk * Presto Classical, 7 Park Street Leamington Spa 01926 317029 *On the door on concert day Samantha Ward returns to Leamington to provide once again, a spell binding performance in a programme with a distinctly French flavour. In the year which marks 50 years since his death, the concert begins with the light hearted dancing rhythms of the sinfonietta by Poulenc. Included is the opportunity to hear one of Berlioz’ finest works, the Love Scene from Romeo and Juliet. The Ravel piece is in 6 movements and, though a homage, is a light and beautifully reflective work.

The climax of this concert is Saint-Saens’ Piano Concerto No. 2. A wonderfully dramatic and absorbing piece, played by one of Britain’s leading musicians. .

Music Director is Richard Laing who has a reputation as one of the most exciting and inspiring conductors in Britain today.
