The Goal: Silence the "Adult Pacifier" habit and break the hand-to-mouth cycle.
The Issue: Vaping often delivers more nicotine than cigarettes, creating a tighter, faster addiction loop.
The Method: Hypnosis to break the dopamine-trigger cycle and reduce anxiety.
The Format: 90-Minute Intensive Online Session via Google Meet.
The Benefit: No more panic when you lose your device. No more sneaking puffs in the bathroom.
The Guarantee: A specialized approach that understands vaping is different from smoking.
Many of my clients started vaping to quit smoking, only to find themselves more addicted than ever. Because you can vape indoors, in the car, and in bed, the "hand-to-mouth" frequency skyrockets. You are no longer waiting for a smoke break; you are constantly grazing on nicotine.
The Financial Hit (The New Reality) The days of cheap vaping are over. The new E-Liquid Product Tax (effective from Nov 2025) has added €0.50 per ml to the cost of all liquids.
A standard disposable vape (Lost Mary/Elf Bar) has jumped to approx €10.00 - €12.00.
Monthly Cost: - €300 - €360
Yearly Cost: - €3,650 - €4,300
That is over €4,000 of your after-tax income vanishing into flavoured vapour.
Vapes are engineered to be hyper-palatable. The sweet flavours (fruit, dessert, mint) mask the harshness, while the high-strength nicotine salts hit your bloodstream almost instantly.
This creates a rapid "Dopamine Drip-Feed." Every time you feel a tiny bit of stress or boredom, you hit the vape. Your brain rewards you. Ten minutes later, the boredom returns, and you hit it again. This rewires your brain to believe you cannot handle any emotion—stress, joy, boredom, hunger—without the device in your hand.
The Hypnosis Solution: We work to break the specific Hand-to-Mouth association.
De-link "stress relief" from the vaping action.
Remove the "fear of missing out" on the dopamine hit.
Restore your ability to breathe deeply and handle life naturally.
Cost: €595.00 Designed for those who vape constantly (chain-vaping) or use high-strength salts.
If the vape is essentially glued to your hand, or you panic if you leave it in another room, this is for you.
Everything in the Breakthrough Session.
PLUS: A Second "Anchor Removal" Session: We use this to target specific, stubborn triggers (e.g., vaping while driving, vaping with coffee, vaping while gaming).
PLUS: Advanced Stress Management: Tools to regulate your nervous system so you don't need the "pacifier."
Outcome: Complete disconnection from the device and a return to natural breathing.
Cost: €395.00 Perfect for the daily user or "social vaper" ready to stop.
This session focuses heavily on the behavioral loop of vaping.
90-Minute Intensive Online Session: We disrupt the automatic "reach" for the device.
Pattern Interrupt Techniques: Learning how to stop the automatic hand-to-mouth signal.
Custom Audio Recording: To keep your hands still and your mind calm at home.
Outcome: You throw the device away immediately and don't look back.
Vaping is often a more frequent, ingrained habit than smoking, so it is natural to worry about how you will cope without that device in your hand. You might fear the anxiety of letting go or wonder if 'just one session' can really break such a constant cycle.
I address these specific concerns to reassure you that breaking the loop is not only possible but often easier than you think.
If you don’t see your question here, or if you simply want to talk things through, you are always welcome to reach out. You don’t have to figure this out alone—I am here to help you take the next step whenever you feel ready.

No. Patches and gum keep nicotine in your system, which prolongs the addiction. My method is drug-free. We use the power of your mind to manage the transition, so you don't need chemical crutches.
Immediately. The goal of the session is that you vape your last vape before the call starts. When we finish the session, you will toss the device in the bin. You become a non-vaper the moment the session ends.
You can, but it is torture. Reducing nicotine keeps the habit alive while keeping you in a state of constant mild withdrawal. Hypnosis is different—it cuts the cord completely. It is often easier to stop 100% than to try and moderate an addictive substance.
No. This is a common fear, but we address nicotine addiction as a whole. We program your mind to reject toxic smoke just as much as we program it to reject the vape. You will not trade one bad habit for another; you will become a non-smoker/non-vaper.
Yes. That panic is a subconscious withdrawal trigger. It’s a sign that your brain has linked the device to "survival." We remove the emotional charge so you no longer feel that "empty" panic when you don't have it. You will feel calm and indifferent to it.
It might be "cleaner" in terms of tar, but the addiction is often stronger. Vaping allows for a higher frequency of nicotine intake. You are still being controlled by a chemical, and you are still damaging your lungs with superheated vapour. Freedom means being free from all nicotine.
