Our Mission
Our mission is to support 1,000 women in stepping away from nicotine this year — and to help them rebuild their health for the years that follow.
​
We believe quitting nicotine is not an isolated act of willpower, but the beginning of a deeper process of restoration.
Through education, nutrition, nervous system support, and sustainable lifestyle practices, we walk alongside women as they reclaim stability, strength, and confidence in their bodies.
Meet LoisAnn
I know how complex nicotine use can be — and how much support is often missing once someone decides to quit.
​
I’ve been there myself. I started smoking young, quit when I became pregnant, and later found myself reaching for nicotine again during periods of extreme stress. Those experiences shaped my understanding of how deeply nicotine can become woven into a woman’s nervous system and daily life.
​
My background in functional nutrition and lifestyle-based care, combined with lived experience, informs the way I work with women today. I’ve seen how quitting without rebuilding leaves the nervous system dysregulated and the body under-supported.
​
My role is to help women move through quitting in a way that feels steady and informed — with attention to nervous system regulation, inflammation, breath, and daily practices that support long-term health.
​
Women Kicking Nicotine was built to be a place where quitting is not rushed or minimized, and where rebuilding is treated as essential, not optional.
​
This work is grounded in compassion, education, and the belief that lasting change happens when women are properly supported — not pressured.

Why This Exists
Why I Created Women Kicking Nicotine Women rarely turn to nicotine because they don’t care about their health. More often, it becomes a way to cope — a pause in the middle of full lives, a breath during stressful moments, a ritual that offers brief relief when the nervous system is carrying more than it was ever meant to hold.
I have seen what happens when women are told to quit but are never shown how to rebuild afterward. My mother, like many women of her generation, used smoking to manage stress and move through the demands of daily life. When she tried to quit, what was offered were prescriptions — not guidance on how to support her body, regulate her stress response, or restore her health.
What I witnessed shaped me profoundly. It became clear that the issue was never simply nicotine — it was the absence of real support once it was removed. Women deserve more than being told to quit and figure out the rest alone.
Women Kicking Nicotine was created to change that experience. Here, quitting is not treated as the finish line, but as the beginning of a deeper restoration. Through targeted nutrition, nervous system support, breathwork, and sustainable lifestyle practices, women learn not only how to step away from nicotine — but how to feel steady, resilient, and at home in their bodies again.
Because when a woman is properly supported, she doesn’t just quit. She rebuilds. She reclaims her health. And she moves forward with strength.
