Compassionate, Proven Help for Lasting Change
About Stop Smoking Today
Hi, I’m Steve Axtell. I’m a former smoker, and I understand the smoking habit from the inside. For over 30 years, I have been dedicated to helping individuals reclaim their lives from smoking, using a safe and proven hypnosis method that I developed over years of experience.
My passion for this mission is deeply personal. Joe Camel killed my Dad. I was with my Dad during the last 6 months of his life as he was dying horribly from cancer because he had been a lifelong smoker. And my Dad was my hero and my best friend.
After Dad passed, I promised to find a way to help people beat Joe Camel and every other brand of cigarettes that enslaves and kills and impoverishes.
Investing in extensive research and training, I developed the most powerful and effective techniques to help smokers quit. I have now used hypnosis for over 30 years to help thousands of people become happy, healthy non-smokers!
I graduated from Baylor University in 1970 with a degree in Social Work with an emphasis on Counseling. In 1974, I graduated from the U.S. Department of Defense Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation School, and in 1975, from the Rutgers University School of Alcohol Studies. I became certified in Neuro-Linguistic Programming in 1994, and did extensive training in Hypnotherapy which lead to Certification with the American Board of Hypnotherapy and the National Guild of Hypnotists in 1997.
I’m proud to offer a lifetime guarantee for my program, reflecting my confidence and commitment to your patient’s/client’s success. My services are available internationally, with flexible evening and weekend appointments to fit anyone’s schedule.
Healthcare professionals trust me to provide reliable, effective support for their patients. My referral program makes it easy for doctors, clinics, and wellness providers to connect clients with compassionate, expert care.
