I am Catherine Campaigne, the Treetop Coach. Using my Eight-Step Plan we can work together to help you achieve your goal to quit smoking (or other forms of nicotine)

I tried to quit smoking for so many years before I was finally able to, and now watch many others try to quit and fail over and over. Coaching people to recovery from smoking fills an unmet need for a one-on-one connection and accountability with someone who will be supportive and has a positive interest in her clients.

I smoked for over twenty years. I started after I left home at age 19 and finally was able
to quit in my late forties after watching my father die of cancer and my mother die shortly after of emphysema—both lifelong smokers. They couldn’t quit, even when they wanted to. I wish there had been recovery coaches when they were trying to quit.

Here are the eight steps I use when working with my clients:

1. EVALUATE. We coach about where you are now, and talk about your strengths and challenges
2. MOVE TOWARD BELIEF. You look at your belief structures: do you believe you can quit?
3. PREPARE A PLAN. Together we prepare a quit plan, looking at what has stopped you in the past and what challenges you might face after you quit.
4. SET A DATE. You pick a date that is not too far off, but gives you enough time to be ready to quit.
5. STOP SMOKING. You stop smoking, throw away your pack(s), and other smoking items.
6. FINE TUNE. We “fine-tune” your quit plan, taking into account new information that comes up during your post-quitting time.
7. MAINTAIN. We create a maintenance plan for you to help you stay on track and avoid the pitfalls of starting up again.
8. CHECK-IN. We arrange for periodic check-ins over a period of time
