Hi Julie,
Hope you are well. looking forward to catching up with you at your next appointment.
I'd be more than happy to provide you with a testimonial.
Female/Age 39/Northampton
My therapy sessions with Julie Leatherland have helped me personally to move forward with my life. Julie is person with whom I felt instantly at ease. She always acts in a highly professional manner whilst also being down to earth & understanding. Julie showed great empathy towards me & each time I went for therapy it helped to increase my confidence in myself. I have since gone on to embark on a challenging teaching role, something which I would not have had the confidence to do prior to meeting Julie.
I would be happy to recommend Julie Leatherland to all future & potential clients. She is someone who cares about each client individually & this shows through her individual tailor made therapy sessions. Thank you Julie.

"Hi Julie
I am so sorry I haven't replied sooner. I keep remembering I need to email you at times when I can't...like when I'm driving or when I'm going to bed.
Anyway, feedback on what you have done for me;
You have done so much, you have given me myself back again.
When I came to you, with what I thought was depression but you soon explained was anxiety, I was a mess. I was having 2-3 anxiety attacks a week where I would end up hyperventilating on the floor, and these were over little things like dropping a plate or picking something to wear. I was avoiding my friends because I had convinced myself they didn't like me and I was pushing my boyfriend away.
After I think only 6 sessions with you I am better than I ever thought I could be. I am not back to my old self, I am much more confident and self assured than ever before. I am happy and I look for the good and fun in everything.
The thing you did in our last session where you turned the negative voice in my head into a "cheerleader" is amazing. I don't beat myself up and spiral into negative thoughts any more. If I feel bad about stuff that voice builds me back up - it's awesome!
I'm so amazed by the difference seeing you has made Julie - you'll probably remember I was a sceptic! I'm happy again, I'm enrolled on my accountancy course & start that soon, I've not given up on myself any more!
So, thank you for your help. I am sorry it has taken me a while to say all this but I hope it doesn't detract from my gratitude. You have made a bigger difference to my life than I can really explain, thank you.
All the best, and I hope these comments might help someone else come to you for help.

Written email with help to overcome drinking too much alcohol
"Dear Julie
Apologies for the lateness in getting back to you.
I am so pleased with our Therapy sessions and most importantly, that I have cut down considerably on the amount of wine I know I used to drink.
My own doc is also very pleased on what I have achieved, my complexion is looking much brighter, I am sleeping much, much better and not feeling so drained.
I know I have a long way to go, but the most important thing to me is that you gave me belief in myself, acceptance that I did have a problem, BUT is now dealing with it,.
The most funny thing is that you really didn't raise an eyebrow when I told you how much I USED to drink, and to me that was what made me believe in you and your help!
May I wish you ever continuing success. People need people like you Julie for whatever reasons.
Yours faithfully

Thank you for all your help over this very difficult period in my life.
My Consultant is ecstatic that I have got rid of 5lbs of excess weight, despite being on a well known
anti-cancer drug renowned for putting on weight and my thyroid condition.
I know that I have a long way to go, but I keep on thinking about your words - if you lose 1lb of excess weight every week, this time next year you could be 52lbs (3st 7lbs) lighter!
I know that I will achieve it, and that makes me so happy.
Wishing you all the very best for the future.

Testimonial
Julie Leatherland – Hynocolour
I can’t even begin to describe the difference a couple of hours with Julie has had on my life! 25 years of comfort/binge eating and food was the biggest negative issue in my life. As a result I was overweight when I became pregnant, gained 4.5 stone during my pregnancy and remained nearly 5.5 stone over my target weight after my daughter was born.
As Julie will tell you there are no surprises with hypnotherapy, your unconscious mind knows where and why your issues exist, they always start for a reason. If you’re ready to let go of them, if you no longer need to feel negatively about your weight or want to find a coping strategy to stop you comfort eating then I beg you to contact Julie. If you are truly ready to change your life then I know Julie will help you. 4 weeks after meeting Julie I am nearly a stone lighter and have no doubt at all my issues with food are gone forever and my target weight is now a very achievable goal.
I wish you every success and thank Julie from the bottom of my heart, she has genuinely helped me to change my life for the better.

Dear Julie
I am writing to you as it has been a while since my Hypnoband sessions have finished, and I would like to give you an update on my progress.
Since the end of the sessions I have now been able to control my eating habits much better than before. I have managed to get away from the emotional eating and can now make a choice of when to eat. This has really helped me during the day time.
I am a lorry driver and driving instructor sitting in a car or lorry all day. I have to use service stations when I need to take a comfort break. In the past I would always use this opportunity to purchase crisps and chocolate to nibble on. This was particularly an issue when I was lorry driving just to kill the boredom of going on a long drive sometimes lasting up to 4 ½ hours.
Now I am able to go into a service station and come back out again without making and purchases.
In I am now able to control my evening snacking from every night to just one treat night a week.
Now I can go all day without having any extra treats between meals and just sticking to three meals a day.
So far I have been able to lose just over a stone without thinking that I have been on a diet!
In addition to the weight loss I am feeling much happier about life , being able to deal with stress much better than before thanks to the hypnosis session that we had before starting on hypnoband.
I do believe that I am now well on the way to changing my life including my fitness due to your excellent guidance and work.
Indeed since finishing my Hypnoband course with you I have decided to start up my own business. Something that I would have not considered doing before.
I would strongly recommend you and Hypnotherapy/Hypnoband. Thank you for helping in changing my life.
Kind regards
Mark Dyson

Hi Julie
I thought it was time to update you on my progress since we finished the hypnoband sessions last November.
So far I have lost just over 2 stone and dropped a dress size! I can't thank you enough for the help and confidence you've given me, I feel fantastic!!
Everybody has started to comment on my weight loss, which boosts the confidence even more and can't wait to reach my goal weight, which I know will be some point this year.
Hope things are still going well for you.

Dear Dr Smart,
You may not be able to cast your mind back too far, but during an appointment with yourself, I mentioned that I had asked for your opinion regarding the use of hypnotherapy for the assistance with IBS. You advised me that this was a possibility and if I found a good hypnotherapist, you asked if I could pass on the details to yourself.
Since that appointment, I have been to a local hypnotherapist who has worked wonders in not fully resolving my IBS but has helped to spot trigger points but also helped me to find a process that helps me to alleviate the symptoms through certain control methods. The particular hypnotherapist’s name is Julie Leatherland and she is currently based at two private practices at Kingsthorpe and Kingsley. She can be contacted on either 01604 712809 or 07776031332. She also has the following web page: www. hypnocolour.com. I could not recommend her highly enough not just for her specialism within IBS but also other areas that are on her website. I have since recommended her to two of my work colleagues for various other issues and they have also given excellent feedback.
Please do not hesitate in contacting me if you would like any further feedback on Julie’s services.
Yours sincerely

"Thank You. I came to see you 3 weeks ago as I was having very bad panic attacks about anything and everything, and this had gone on for 2 months practically non stop, it was so bad that at times I was hysterical! After 1 hrs hypnotherapy with you, I feel like a different person, I don`t panic over anything and if I find myself getting at all anxious I listen to the CD you gave me and that calms me right down.
I don`t hesitate to recommend you to anyone, and I do know a friend of mine is making an appointment to see you.
Many thanks for your help and understanding.

“ Hi Julie,
I hope all is well with you.
When I saw your leaflet on the desk whilst waiting to see Bernie, I was sceptical as to if you could help me with my irrational fear of the Dentist. I just could not believe that you were not going to say that I was being irrational, stupid or that I was a baby! You see that was usually the response from people who could not understand.
My first meeting with you was so scary for me because I felt the same kind of fear as I did when having to see Dr. Bhundia! I came out feeling as though I had accomplished something and I knew that this was right for me. I let my dentist know what was going on and he was really interested in helping me to relax when coming to see him.
Julie, I thought you were going to keep things going in order to gain more funds but you did not. Someone once said, to me, that hypnotherapy was for weak minded people. Well I can tell them it is for those who want to see beyond their fear or habit or whatever. It is for those who want to take charge of those things and not let fear, habits or whatever, rule their lives. That takes an inner strength that Julie taps into.
You were quick, efficient, professional and funny and talking with you made me feel as though I have known you for years!
Thank you for your hard work and for giving me another tool in which to deal with my stress! I wish you well for your expanding business.
Yours truly,
