One Small Shift Can Change Everything

Hi, I’m Julia

I know what it’s like to want to stop something and find that willpower alone just isn’t enough. Nail-biting was something I thought I’d have to take to the grave. It wasn’t until 2010 that I was able to stop with the help of hypnosis. I still wish I had a before and after picture but to be honest, I was skeptical. Imagine how happily surprised I was to find out that it worked.

That experience is why I do this work. I’ve been helping people let go of habits, fears and patterns they’d been carrying for years, sometimes decades, often in just a few sessions.

You don’t need to be “fixed.” You simply learned a pattern, and the part of your mind that learned it can learn something new. My job is to help that happen gently, comfortably, and at your own pace.

If you’re ready to make a change, I’m ready to help you. I work online to reduce overhead to help keep your investment low.

Where Would You Like Your Shift to Begin?

Most people come to me with one thing in mind. Many leave noticing changes they didn’t expect.

Nail biting

Stop the habit and enjoy hands you’re proud to show.

Hair pulling and skin picking

Find calmer ways to respond to stress and urges.

Quit smoking

Become a non-smoker and leave cravings behind.

Healthy eating and weight goals

Reach for better choices naturally, without feeling deprived.

Fears

Heights, needles, flying and more, so they no longer hold you back.

Letting go

Release old feelings that keep weighing you down.

What Makes My Approach Different

Many hypnotists use direct suggestion: you relax, and the hypnotist tells your subconscious what to change, such as “You no longer want to bite your nails.” It can work, but it’s a bit like being handed someone else’s script.

I work differently. As a certified Simpson Protocol practitioner, I work with your superconscious mind, sometimes called the higher mind. It’s the wise part of you that knows you better than anyone, including what’s really behind a habit or feeling and what you need to let it go.

There’s a clear, proven process to every session, but no two sessions are the same, because no two people are the same. Your conscious mind simply gets to take a break and relax. You don’t need to explain or relive every detail, and the change comes from within you, in a way that fits you.

For clients interested in spiritual sessions, I also use the Utopia FOG Protocol, a similar approach that works with the superconscious in a deeper, more exploratory way.

Nail biting

Julia helped me quit a long-standing nail-biting habit!

I have been a nail biter for over 30 years. I had moments where I would let my nails grow for a special occasion but I would always bounce back. I’ve always been embarrassed by my nails and kept hiding them from everyone.

I came across Julia’s website, read great reviews and decided to give hypnosis a try as my last resort. The only regret I have — I wish I had done it sooner!! I had two sessions with Julia and I haven’t touched my nails since.

Today I got my very first manicure in over 30 years and I couldn’t be more happy!!!

I highly recommend Julia, she’s a wonderful person to talk to and work with. Thank you again, Julia!!!

Nail biting

I was a nail biter for 50 years!

So difficult (impossible) to stop the habit, however after only one hypnosis session… I have not had the urge. Amazing!!!!

I highly recommend this method if you have the same habit — such a great experience… gentle and relaxing. Julia is very accommodating with regard to appointment days/times.

I had tried EVERY option available to try to quit but nothing worked until now. It’s been several weeks and the urge is completely gone and my nails are growing beautifully!

Thank you, Julia!

Nail biting & grief

Two issues, lasting results: seven years and counting

I’ve had hypnosis with Julia, twice – on two separate issues – and without a doubt, I can say that I achieved the results that I had hoped for and more.

First nail-biting – an embarrassing habit for a businesswoman. I am delighted to say that since my session with Julia 7 years ago, I have never fallen back into the habit of nail-biting.

More recently, I came to Julia with another issue – less definable. Hypnosis with her helped to free me from unresolved grief.

Thank you, Julia!

Beautiful nails, and a boost in confidence too

As an almost life-long nail-biter, I needed help…

Since my session with Julia, my nails are beautiful and I am no longer self-conscious about my hands. Extra bonus – it’s helped with my confidence.

Quit smoking

Like waking up from a bad dream

Your techniques work well. You successfully hypnotized me into quitting smoking on November 17 and reinforced the idea a week later at a second session.

I haven’t had any cravings, desire to buy cigarettes or anything of that kind. It’s like waking up from a bad dream and happy to go on without smoking at all.

I would recommend Julia to anyone who wants to quit smoking. Thanks a lot, I really appreciate all your work.

Hair pulling

Free from hair pulling, even through loss

I have had a lifelong hair-pulling disorder all my life. Many years ago, after many different attempts and methods of trying to stop, I was able to stop for a two year period using hypnosis. Unfortunately, I had a number of dear friends die within a short period of time and went back to hair-pulling. At that time the person I worked with using hypnosis had retired.

Fast forward 17 years and I was at a point of wanting to stop this behaviour once and for all. I went to Julia and stopped after the first treatment, and was supported with tapes to listen to, cards to use as visual touchpoints, and two follow-up hypnosis sessions.

I have had three people, dear to me, die since my first appointment with Julia and I have had no desire to use hair-pulling as a stress reliever. I have not added other negative behaviours into my life to cope with stress.

I believe the method Julia uses is effective and provides a person with positive alternatives to the behaviour I wanted to stop. She is professional from start to finish and is easy to work with. I highly recommend her services to anyone who has tried other methods to stop negative coping behaviours.

Weight loss

25 lbs down and feeling like a new person

I am 58 years old and because of my love for beer, fast foods, snacks and anything else I craved, I allowed myself to reach 273 lbs. body weight with a size 45-inch waist. I am only 5 feet 5 inches tall so I felt as round as I am tall.

I felt absolutely exhausted, terrible and disgusted with myself. I have high blood pressure, high cholesterol and there is a history of diabetes in my family. I had no energy or drive to do anything and would get winded drying off after a shower. My wife says I would wheeze watching TV. I was also starting to have mobility issues with my knees and hips and it was difficult to climb the stairs to bed.

I was always able to find the motivation to lose weight before and would successfully hit the 20-pound weight loss with diet and exercise only to put it back on and more after a few months. I knew I needed to make positive changes to my health but was unable to somehow get that drive in the right direction.

I decided to try something different to grasp that spark to get me going and underwent hypnosis with Julia at A Butterfly’s Touch Wellness one month ago for weight loss. My goal is to lose 100 lbs. within a year based on one to two lbs. per week.

I followed Julia’s expert direction with “easy homework” each week to implant the positive suggestions in my subconsciousness thought process as well as consciously being aware of the changes I had to make to reach my goals. Julia also provided me with a sensible diet book to follow to help with my plan.

Since the hypnosis sessions, my life has been turned 180 degrees as I now eat properly without even thinking about it, I naturally turn to healthy foods and snacks and have no desire for junk or fast foods. I am also working out four times a week at the gym I’ve joined as well as doing an hour a day on my treadmill.

Since starting the therapy I’ve lost twenty-five lbs., five inches off my waist and feel like a new person, I have tons of energy to burn now and no longer feel like a blimp. The doctor says at this rate I will be able to come off all medications as well.

Having the hypnotherapy was the best money I’ve ever spent! No looking back as I move on to reach my goals.

Sleep

After five years of trying everything, I was so wrong to doubt it

After suffering from sleep issues for more than 5 years, I tried a variety of solutions. I had discussed the issue with my doctor, had taken meditation courses, used yoga and spent lots of money on useless over-the-counter products. Nothing was effective and I had really lost hope.

I thought to give hypnosis a try but I was doubtful. I was so wrong!

I met with Julia and immediately felt she would be successful in addressing my issues. She is caring and friendly but very professional. She followed up with me to learn if my progress was stable.

I would recommend her and her services without hesitation. Thanks, Julia!

Fear of heights

At 64, I climbed past my fear of heights

I’m 64 yrs old, retired and have a hobby business of cutting trees down and trimming. I have an experienced climber (who is also a competitive climber) so seldom do my feet leave the ground. This partnership is great as I have a fear of heights and/or fear of falling.

Last April I was in Charlotte, N.C. at my partner’s competition when I was approached by a guy who organizes a competition outside Orlando, Florida every January which is geared for 40 yr+ climbers. I always wanted to be able to climb but was held back by my fears. With a little support from my partner and wife, I opted to go.

I sought out Julia to help me get past my fears. With her help, I did attend the competition and left with having accomplished my goals. This feat was a personal milestone and I’m looking forward to next Jan.!!

Thanks, Julia.

Fear of needles

Two needles since, without any issue

I have had a debilitating fear of needles for as long as I can remember. I have tried many times to get over it with no success. If anything it became worse as I got older.

Finally I decided to try hypnosis. If I’m completely honest I wasn’t sure if it was going to work. At first I had trouble letting go and allowing myself to fall into a hypnotic state. After a few tries I had a breakthrough. I couldn’t believe the emotions that came through after the session.

Since then I have had 2 needles without any issue. This for me is a huge improvement considering I have passed out quite a few times in the past due to needles.

One session unlocked talents I thought I’d lost

Two sessions, a lifetime worth of results

Julia is an absolute angel on earth sent to my life. With only two sessions, I’ve seen a lifetime worth of results. I never thought I could feel this way again, and I’ve learned so much about myself I never had perceived before.

For whoever reads this, I truly recommend to give yourself a second chance to believe that you can feel good again, because change CAN happen for the good!

Habits & feelings

Tools that last well beyond the session

Julia’s technique goes far beyond the immediate habit (while she certainly solves this issue as well). Her empathy, gentleness, and skill are readily apparent.

The tools she gives her clients go beyond the session, and have helped me handle negative feelings day-to-day. She grabs issues at the root to create lasting change.

She is also very professional and kind, and explains hypnosis in full detail before embarking on this journey to dispel any doubts. Highly recommend.

Change Is Easier Than You Think

1

Reach out

Book a session or send me a message. We’ll talk about what you want to change and what’s been getting in the way. Many people say they feel lighter just from that first conversation.

2

Relax into your session

I’ll explain everything before we begin, so you know exactly what to expect. Then you simply get comfortable and listen. You stay aware and in control the whole time, and most people find it deeply relaxing.

3

Notice the difference

Afterwards, you may find yourself responding differently without even trying. You’ll also have simple tools and recordings to support you between sessions, so the change keeps growing.

Questions People Ask

Can I be hypnotized?

If you can daydream, get lost in a good book, or drive somewhere familiar and arrive without remembering the journey, you’ve already experienced a natural trance. Hypnosis simply uses that state on purpose.

Will I lose control?

No. You hear everything, you can speak, and you can open your eyes at any time. Nothing happens that you don’t agree with. Hypnosis works with you, not on you.

How many sessions will I need?

It depends on you and your goal. Some people notice a change after one session; others prefer a few. We’ll decide together what makes sense for you.

Do sessions work online?

Yes. Online sessions are just as relaxing and effective, and you get to enjoy them from the comfort of your own home. All you need is a quiet space, a comfortable chair, and headphones.

What if I’ve tried everything already?

Many of my clients said exactly that. Hypnosis works with the part of the mind where habits live, which is often why it helps when willpower alone hasn’t.

My family wants me to change, but I’m not sure I do. Can you help?

Honestly, probably not yet, and that’s okay. Hypnosis works best when the change is something you truly want for yourself. If you’re doing it only to please someone else, part of you will hold on to the old habit. When you feel ready, for your own reasons, I’ll be here to help.

Professional Hypnosis,
Straightforward Pricing

$75 per session

$75 CAD for Canadian clients · $75 USD for U.S. clients

Choosing hypnosis is a personal decision. I want you to feel comfortable, supported and confident about taking that first step. My approach combines professional training with personal experience, and a genuine understanding of how hard it can be to change a long-standing habit. I’ll take the time to understand your goals, answer your questions and work with you at your own pace.

I keep my pricing simple and accessible because I believe real change shouldn’t require maxing out a credit card. Working online makes that possible. With 13 years of experience, I’ve helped many people make the changes they were hoping for, and you can read some of their stories above.

There’s no pressure to commit to a set number of sessions. Some people find the change they’re looking for in one session; others prefer a few more. You book one session at a time, and I trust you to know what you need.

I don’t offer free consultations, because I’d rather not turn a first conversation into a sales pitch. If you have questions, just give me a call at 519‑719‑2346. I’m happy to talk, with no pressure and no obligation. If I can’t take your call, leave a message and I promise I’ll get back to you.
