WHERE HAS JANUARY GONE?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2012-01-30T07:20:00.000-08:00

Wow, what a busy month January has been for the Anne Penman team. We kicked off with an article in the Daily Record - Doing It for the Kids - featuring Danielle Hewitt and her two lovely children Courtney, 10 and Scott, 6 and dad of three Steve Watson telling their stories of how they stopped smoking with us. We were inundated with enquiries after their inspirational stories. Next reporter Tracey Bryce from the Sunday Post tried out our laser therapy for weight loss - and voted us top! While the Scottish Daily Mail ran a competition with us about our Stop Smoking Weekend Retreats which we are planning again for this spring. It's now countdown to No Smoking Day in March - watch this space!

ONE YEAR ON!

Happy New Year to Stella Hoey in Liverpool.
A year ago this month Stella drove from Liverpool to Bridge of Allan to attend our first ever Stop Smoking Weekend Retreat - and hasn't had a cigarette since!
Stella has also become our biggest fan south of the border and has now set up her own Anne Penman Laser Therapy business in the Wirrel.
'As a lifelong smoker I had tried everything to stop but had never managed to quit - until I met Anne,' says mum of 3 Stella.
'I put my meeting with Anne down to fate. I was sitting in my local doctor's surgery last January and read about her Stop Smoking weekends. I phoned the number at the end of the article, there was one on the next day so I jumped in my car and drove to Scotland. It's the best thing I've ever done!'
Now Stella is proud to be a year long non-smoker and have her own business spreading the word.
'Although I have a full time job I felt more people should know about this amazing treatment and be benefiting from it,' says Stella, who runs a William Hill betting shop in Chester.
Her new business is up and running now and she already has one success story, dad of two Chris Parker, who is smoke-free and has never felt better.
'Since giving up smoking my lifestyle has totally changed. I can play with my kids now without getting out of breath, I go to the gym, I eat better and can actually taste the food, my teeth always feel clean and best of all I don't smell like an ashtray!'
Last word goes to Stella, pictured below with Chris:
'I'm so passionate about this therapy. Every smoker should have the chance to try this amazing treatment.......it changes lives, it certainly did mine!'

HAPPY NEW YOU!

Happy New Year to everyone - Ron and I are certain it is going to be a positive, prosperous year for all of us.
We truly believe that with the right support we can achieve anything - and what better time of year to re-iterate this and wish you all a happy and healthy 2012.

The benefits of quitting are far better than the discomfort of recovery - and Marie Agnew is testiment to that.
Marie quit smoking with us 18 months ago - and can't believe how her life has changed.
She's featured in today's Scottish Daily Record - see her lovely picture below - and she couldn't be a better example of the success of our laser therapy treatment.
'I had tried everything from lozenges to patches and gum but none of them worked until I met Anne and discovered her amazing laser treatment,' says mum of two Marie.
'Since I quit I've done up my house, gone on three holidays and the best bit of all is I can now buy anything without worrying about having enough cash for cigarettes!'

Hope You've All Survived Christmas!

The Penman household is recovering - slowly - from overeating and generally having a wonderful Christmas. Thankfully our two dogs made us go out for walks but apart from that it's been a chilled out time.
We're gearing up for our busiest spell of the year when the New Year resolutions kick in and our phones start ringing. If you want to succeed set a QUIT date - within the next 2 weeks - and call us. The Anne Penman team is here to help........holding your hand as you make that first huge step to become smoke FREE!

We're BLOGGIN it..

2011-12-08T07:19:00.000-08:00

Last week, we set up @SeeOffTheCigs on Twitter and this week, we're bringing you blogging...
I'm Anne Penman and although I now live in Glasgow, I'm originally from Ballynahinch in Northern Ireland where my mum Helen owned The Primrose Bar.
I moved to Scotland 20 years ago but after having laser therapy in Northern Ireland to help me give up the 60-a-day habit I'd had for 19 years, I swopped my passion for smoking for a passion to help others give up.
I trained as a laser therapist and developed my own tailor made programme to help people stop smoking which combines laser therapy with personalised counselling as well as a 24-hour helpline. Anne Penman Laser Therapy now has 30 centres worldwide, from Belfast to Bogota.
I'll be blogging like nobody's business from now on! In the meantime, here's me and my mum Helen at our head office in Glasgow. Mum always knows best!
