Empower yourself by yo

Addiction and mental health isn ' t something we need to be shy about discussing . Thanks to social media and the efforts of those in the health sectors who are busy raising awareness and providing support , we are much more aware and equipped to ask for help and recognise when others are in need .
If you suffer from mild symptoms of addiction and anxiety and are exploring alternative options that don ’ t require prescribed medications or hours of therapy and medical treatments , you may find this new innovative treatment will work for you .
Introducing Chris Steedman , who takes us back 30 years to York , England where her story begins …
A heavy smoker at the time with a desperate desire to kick the habit , Chris sought the help of a health specialist who worked with tobacco addiction . Within an hour of leaving the clinic , Chris was astounded that she felt not one bit of temptation to light up a cigarette . Days followed with no withdrawal symptoms presenting themselves and to Chris ’ s relief , to this day she hasn ’ t felt the slightest longing for nicotine . For those that have been defeated during the ‘ I ’ m quitting ’ battle , it sounds almost unbelievable , but it happened !
Chris subsequently encouraged about 20 work colleagues who were smokers , to see the same specialist . Without exception and with no effort , all of them gave up smoking . The specialist also had a technique to ensure that patients did not put on additional weight that often accompanies breaking the nicotine habit .

Chris is totally driven by her desire to impact the lives of her clients by helping them take control and be empowered to change their bad habits for the better .
How it works
Chris ’ s approach covers four techniques using traditional and modern treatments that include hypnotherapy and needle-free acupuncture . Firstly , a custom-designed electro machine ( similar to a tens machine ) is connected to the appropriate trigger points , ensuring an electro frequency is pulsed to the addiction centre of the brain , allowing the mind to be rewired during the deeply relaxed state of hypnotherapy . Following the first step , an electrical stimulation tool is used on the ear , where addiction points are found . This is basically a technologically advanced way of performing acupuncture .
Finally , the patient is given a seed that is placed on a trigger point on the ear to deflect any further cravings or behaviours that require a little more time to be
