What's your business, and who are your customers?

Victoria's Quit Smoking Clinic is a well-established clinical hypnotherapy centre that continues to remain on the leading edge, incorporating the integration of several techniques into each program. The clinic is located in Canada's beautiful Victoria, B.C., and is board-certified, registered, and licensed. We are active members of some professional organizations like the American Hypnosis Association. Victoria's Quit Smoking Clinic is particularly proud to be British Columbia's 'Smoking Cessation Specialist.' We have helped thousands of people become non-smokers with our unique 'One Session Program.'

Our enormous success has, and is, determined by the quality, integrity, and commitment of our service. We are fast, efficient, liberating, and guaranteed in writing. We also specialize in Anxiety, Depression, Panic Attacks, Weight Loss & Relationship Issues.

Tell us about yourself

Currently, I am the Director and Owner of SeaSideHypnosis.com and administrator of Vancouver Island's first Victoria's Quit Smoking Clinic. I began my career in 1989, and I am currently licensed as a Professional Certified Counsellor, a Certified Smoking Cessation Specialist, a Clinical Hypnotherapist, and a Time Line Regression Therapist. In recent years my focus has been the development of "Victoria's Quit Smoking Clinic," a project in which I have found great success in helping hundreds of smokers become non-smokers forever.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

My most rewarding moment in Counselling & Hypnotherapy is to observe a client who has been in psychoanalysis for many years go through six to eight hypnotic sessions and have the movement and accomplishment they desire.

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

Balancing the ups and downs - times when you are extremely busy to a lack of clients and developing marketing programs that are beneficial.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

  1. Be flexible.
  2. Be patient.
  3. Pay attention to your client's feedback.

Is there anything else you'd like to share?

Imagine being able to quit smoking in one session. Imagine walking into our office, an avid smoker, sitting down and relaxing…then getting up and walking out a non-smoker for life. NO URGE, NO CRAVING, and NO DESIRE TO EVER SMOKE AGAIN. The easiest, simplest thing you will ever do!
