ABOUT YULIA

The person behind the practice.

I'm a hypnotist, guide, and licensed mental health counselor in Pennsylvania and New York.

WHY I DO THIS WORK

Understanding ourselves is important. But at some point, we have to live what we know.

This idea — the space between understanding a pattern and actually living differently — is what shaped the work I do today.

MY APPROACH

My work grew out of something I kept seeing again and again: we can understand a pattern incredibly well and still find ourselves repeating it.

 

That's why my work goes beyond insight. I use clinical hypnosis alongside mindfulness, mind-body and embodied practices, and behavioral approaches to help people experience and practice a different response—not just understand why the old one exists.

In hypnosis, my role isn't to tell you what's true or what you should become. It's to create the conditions for you to discover that for yourself, in your body as much as your mind, and then bring what you discover into everyday life.

I work primarily with adults who have already done meaningful inner work and are ready to put that understanding into practice.​
