The Shift
From Habit to Freedom
The intensive moves through three gentle stages, from settling the nervous system to stepping forward with a new sense of freedom.
Settle
Relax deeply in a safe, comfortable environment, with no pressure to perform and nothing to force.
Reprogram
Work with the unconscious stories and associations that have kept the smoking or vaping pattern in place.
Step Forward
Leave the old pattern behind and anchor yourself into life as a breather of clean, fresh air.
Your session is private, confidential, and individually prepared. A free discovery chat comes first so Marilynne can make sure the intensive is right for you.

Changing Unwanted Habits
In Their Own Words
“Marilynne's steady and calm presence allowed me to release into the experience of hypnosis, and she thoughtfully invited me to reprogram the stories underpinning this particular unwanted behaviour. The effect of the treatment was immediate and unmistakable. I highly recommend Marilynne's practice, in particular as a therapy for addressing unwanted habits or anxieties.”
“I had a session with Marilynne because I wanted to stop biting my nails. I had this terrible habit since I was a very young woman, and I didn't know how to stop. I felt ashamed and embarrassed for all this time. With only one session and a beautiful, calming, and non judgemental presence, Marilynne took me on a trip inside myself, where I finally found the strength and the reasons to stop. I am very thankful to Marilynne for her skilful way to catalyse and assist my transformation.”
“I had a session today with Joyful Freedom Hypnosis to work on my gambling habit, and I'm genuinely feeling really positive afterwards. Marilynne created such a calm, safe, and easy-going environment, which made it much easier to relax and engage in the process. Her approach was professional, supportive, and reassuring the whole way through. I walked away feeling lighter, more in control, and hopeful about the changes ahead. Highly recommend to anyone looking to make a positive shift - 5 stars from me.”
“I was quite amazed. I have always bit my nails and hated myself for not having enough willpower to just stop! Nothing helped before, so I was not expecting to see any results from one session of hypnotherapy with Marilynne. The session was super soothing. I drifted away for a while and then when I was told to open my eyes after a gentle counting back exercise, had no desire whatsoever to return to my previous habit. There was nothing to fear, although I was a bit wary to be honest and didn't know what to expect. This kind of hypnotherapy is a very relaxing and effortless way to quit a bad habit.”
