“This is so much more than a stop smoking program. To be able to discover the reason we smoked is so much more valuable than I imagined. It has been life changing and empowering. To be able to be successful in such a short period of time is amazing. I am still digesting all of the material that has been presented and will continue to do so – as my life is forever changed. Thank you, Lela!”

Quit smoking a pack a day April, 13, 2007
Tacoma, WA USA
“I Used to chew 5 cans a week. This was taken on my son’s first birthday. I am excited to spend the rest of my life as a non-chewer. It doesn’t have a hold on me anymore.
—Mat Janik
Stopped chewing 5 cans a week November 30, 2006
Vancouver, WA
“These quit-smoking techniques are both effective and easy to put into practice. The minor changes required each week were focused on changing the smoking behavior and made the stopping almost a relief. Smoking became boring and a hassle, rather than enjoyable. Lela’s teaching style is caring and the program itself is fascinating. I recommend it (and her) highly.”
—Shannon Forbes

Quit smoking November 29, 2006
Tacoma, WA
“The program helped detach the little habits and I was glad that Lela was accessible and I liked that I could take the class from the comfort of my own home over the telephone. I was nervous about being able to stop smoking, because I am a native American, and I take part In Sundance in the passing of the pipe, but it has been many years now and I have been able to take part in the passing of the pipe but I am still a non-smoker”

Smoked 1 ½ packs a day for 50 years
Seattle, WA
“Lela’s class helped me quit smoking during an especially difficult time in my life. What made this program unique was the support and comradeship provided by the group even after the class had ended. We emailed constantly and shared our stories for months afterwards. Having a group of new friends going through the same experience provided a great safety net. There was always someone to commiserate with, as well as share the triumphs!”
—Marianne Pendleton
Quit smoking 2 packs a day June 2, 2003
New York, NY USA
“Lela, I thought that this was going to be another useless attempt at my quitting, especially when you said that we could keep using nicotine. However, as long as you are honest with yourself (some may not be) and you follow the instructions, people such as myself (a hopeless chewer of 24 years) can even do it. My family and I thank you for helping me quit chewing- hopefully I haven’t caused any permanent damage already. I am going to live life as if I haven’t!! Thank you, and peace. This is a picture of me and my little girl.”
—John Brunzell Jr.

“I attended Lela’s smoking cessation class ten years ago and I have been smoke free since then. The techniques that were taught, the methodology introduced, and the procedures for quitting the smoking habit were easily explained and understood. Lela is an excellent instructor and teacher and truly cares about the health and welfare of her students. I highly recommend her class to everyone.”
—David Garcia
“I smoked 2 packs a day and had exhausted every known method at the time to quit. I had tried the patch, gum, aversion therapy and Zyban. Zyban made me act angry and get road rage.”
—Tim Wedrosky

After trying virtually every product and treatment on the market, (patches, Champix, Zyban , hypnosis, acupuncture etc) we finally came across Nicotine Solutions, a course that can boast a 90% success rate.”

“It is nice to have the freedom from those coffin nails. It is amazing how life worked around cigarettes. I hope everyone pats themselves on the back. Quitting smoking is like getting rid of the biggest negative drain and doing the most positive thing of your life, all in one action. Have a safe Fourth of June, Freedom.”

—CJ Payne
“It is hard to believe how quickly we bonded like a reconnaissance group sent on a mission of life and death before disbanding. Lela I think you are a spirit missionary. My internal rhythms are changing. My emotional being is also being tested. We face the New Year as new individuals that have learned how to self-heal. That’s powerful.”
—Yvonne
“When I see people trying to stop for the New Year as per their New Years Resolutions I am sooooooo glad we have already DONE IT. I imagine you have all had rough times through the Holidays and Pray to God that everyone has come through in flying colors… I’m proud of all of us and I miss you guys and think of you often. Big hug to Everyone!”
—Judy Salas
“Lela, I am free. Thanks. You made a big difference. Tell your students that they can do this. It’s like a paper wall, appears strong & intimidating, but will yield to THEIR advances. I don’t even count the days, etc. It just doesn’t matter anymore. Smoking isn’t even worth the energy it takes to add up the days on a calendar.”
—Barry
“I wasn’t sure that a teleconference would be successful for me, but I really bonded with the group and felt very supported and I am still a non-smoker!”
—Linda Nelson
“I feel free! I am saving a lot of money, and hardly ever go to the corner grocery store any more. I am proud of myself. Now I can spend more money on my Harley!”
—Leo Maine
“When I signed up for the program, I was desperate. I needed to quit smoking or else my parents wouldn’t pay for my tuition. I was 20 years old and soon realized just how tired I was of smoking (since age 14). Fortunately, I now have not smoked for 3 years and I feel better than ever. Nothing’s worse than a bad habit, and nothing’s better than getting rid of one.”
—Hayley Ruhnka
“It has been 2 years on the 24th of January. I can’t believe I was ever a smoker. I’m so happy to have taken your class and quit smoking. Thank you again for helping me to accomplish that goal.”
