District Hypnosis

Rita is amazing and I highly recommend District Hypnosis. I have been a smoker for 20 years and trying to quit for at least half of that time. I tried quitting cold turkey, using nicorette, I read Allen Carr’s Stop Smoking book, I tried having a mantra, I tried just smoking while drinking, but no matter what, I always went back to smoking. I quit for over a year twice when I was pregnant, but went back to smoking after my children were born. I thought that smoking was a monkey that I would have on my back for the rest of my life because I had tried so many ways to quit smoking and nothing worked! Until now!
I am so grateful that I found Rita at District Hypnosis because I have finally finally finally been able to quit smoking and I owe it all to her! If I had realized it would be this easy, I would have done this years ago. If you are thinking about quitting, you need to call Rita. If you are really ready to quit smoking, don’t wait, just call her — you can do it with her help!
I was worried that hypnosis wouldn’t work, but it does! I don’t know how to describe it, but it seems like the part of my brain that used to think about smoking — I thought about it a lot, I felt guilty about it a lot, I looked forward to it a lot, I worried about it, etc etc — is gone. Whenever I think about smoking, I don’t feel anything. I thought that, even with hypnosis, not smoking would feel like a struggle or something I was resisting, but it’s not. I just feel apathetic toward it, which is AMAZING!!! It is such an overwhelming relief.
I was also worried that I wouldn’t be able to be hypnotized in the first place. My brain goes a mile a minute and I have a hard time calming it down. I’ve tried meditating and I either can’t stop thinking or I fall asleep, so I thought being hypnotized would be impossible. But Rita did it! I have faith that, if she can hypnotize me, she can hypnotize anyone. She also provides a CD to listen to once a day and I have started to look forward to falling asleep because that’s when I listen to the CD then and it’s so soothing.
The first step is having a free screening appointment. This is a great part of the process because it allows you and Rita to decide if you are a good fit for one another. And, if you decide to proceed, then you are already familiar with one another at your first session. At my first session, Rita and I spoke for an hour even before my hypnosis. I always thought I needed smoking to help me deal with stress or being upset, but Rita is like a therapist and we spoke about my dependency on cigarettes and she advised me how to navigate things in my life that usually make me want to smoke, including stressful situations. I also thought I needed cigarettes to unwind or to feel like I’m getting a «treat» after a long day. She suggested alternatives, which I thought didn’t seem up to par to smoking, but sure enough, I am enjoying these simple things now — a nice cup of tea, a piece of gum, a quick dance around the room. I am finding such joy in things that I previously thought weren’t nearly as cool as cigarettes!
It might seem expensive, but it’s totally worth it – especially if you think of it in terms of saving your life!!! Also, it’s so much less money than you would spend if you kept smoking or even if you were able to quit but kept using nicorette. Also, there is a coupon on Living Social — search under District Hypnosis.
She is willing to have sessions on Saturdays, which makes scheduling a lot easier!
Like the last reviewer, I was also hesitant at first about District Hypnosis because there weren’t any reviews, but I am so glad that I took the chance and went! And I encourage you to write a review if you go see Rita — it can help other people!

I have been a client of District Hypnosis for four months and I am most pleased with my experience and results. I am seeing Rita Leiphart for weight loss. Rita makes non-​obtrusive inquiries into my eating habits and the things going on in my life to tailor her suggestions to my situation. For example, before I left on a cruise, Rita worked with me to ensure I didn’t over-​indulge on the vacation.
Instead of simply encouraging me to drink more water and make healthier decisions on food choices and portions, Rita has designed my sessions to address the other aspects of my life (stress, relationships, family) that influence my weight. Her holistic approach and encouragement has allowed me to safely lose a significant amount of weight in four months.
I’m continuing to work on losing weight, and I know that I’ll be able to reach my goal with Rita’s suggestions and support. She’s allowed me to think differently about food and I’m confident I’ll be able to maintain my success.
I was a bit apprehensive when I first contacted District Hypnosis as there were no online reviews. I assure you that the business is professional and the results are real.
