As someone who had already tried medication, talk therapy, EMDR, and several various diets and lifestyle changes, I was skeptical that hypnosis would work for my binge eating, but I felt like I had no other options left. I’d read so many books and tried so many of the methods that other people recommended, and I felt like a failure for seemingly having discipline in every area of my life but food. I decided to give hypnosis a try, and after my initial consultation with Julia I decided to go ahead, go all out and get the session package. I figured worst case scenario, I find one more thing that doesn’t work for me and I’m no worse off, and best case scenario I’m done with binging forever. I’m so glad I did. Julia was extremely compassionate, empathetic, intuitive, educational, and professional. She helped ease any of my concerns about the process and I followed her instructions and was open and honest over the couple of months I had sessions with her. I began to notice minor shifts immediately which was surprising to me, and the way that my thoughts and behaviors changed were not what I was expecting to get out of it. Rather than helping me “manage” my eating disorder I was simply starting to crave less and have less food noise, and I noticed increased happiness and freedom in other areas of my life. It has been about 2 months since I completed my last session, and I have not binged. It is the longest time I’ve gone without binging since I can remember. I still make unhealthy food choices sometimes when I’m sleep deprived or stressed (as many of us do) but overeating is no longer ruining my life and mental health, and I haven’t felt the urge to binge. I continue to listen to the audio recordings from our sessions, and as time goes on I find that even in stressful situations I’m now less likely to make unhealthy food choices as well. I’m so grateful to Julia for the work that she does, and I highly recommend her. - Pyangsi Spears, 5 stars

Julia is wonderful to work with. She truly listens, is very insightful and provides actionable tools and visualizations that have moved me forward in many directions. I recommend multiple sessions to help really work with the sessions and go more deeply with the work. I highly recommend working with Julia for hypnotherapy. I have received great benefit from my sessions with her. - Wendy and Alan Gorfain, 5 stars

I loved working with Julea, she was very professional and intuitive. I originally came to Julea bc I wanted help on improving my self-hypnosis work which I found to be a struggle. I have some experience with hypnotherapy and Julea took the time to understand what worked for me in the past so she could maximize the effectiveness of our sessions. Julea did a great job helping me, I couldn't be happier with the results! I also really appreciate the recording she gave me of our session which helped me solidify the work and practice effective self-hypnosis on my own. If you're thinking of giving hypnotherapy a try you will be in excellent hands! - Kevin, 5 stars

Julia Viola was incredibly helpful at putting me at ease. I previously had an experience with hypnosis that wasn’t as supportive and assured. With Black Cat Hypnosis things feel better and I am experiencing the effects after a month of using the recordings provided from her 3 session package. I feel that the shifts I was looking for in terms of my thought streams are arriving. I am behaving and engaging with life differently. If you are seeking change within your systems of operations and perspectives, I highly recommend Julia’s assistance! Thank you again! - Ariel Pennetti, 5 stars

I’ve recently got to experience a couple virtual guided hypnotherapy sessions with Black Cat Hypnosis and I must say that they have been truly wonderful. I’ve been experiencing a lot of heightened anxiety lately and having difficulty relaxing and accessing states of calm. Julea Viola has a very soothing cadence, and has led me on some beautiful journeys. They have helped me to quiet my mind, and be able to relax which has felt nearly impossible for me lately. The sessions have also brought up some emotional processing for me which is always welcome. The services are also accessible which is major! - Gina Ruggirello, 5 stars
