Dr Julie Kidd

Medical Hypnotherapist

Philosophy and types of treatment used

Hi, I'm Julie Kidd. I have been a doctor for over 30 years. In that time I have practised in teaching hospitals, as a country GP, city GP, wholistic GP and in heart disease prevention. Ten years ago I went to a training in Medical Hypnosis. The teaching doctor needed a subject to demonstrate on, so I brought along my then 10 year old son who had debilitating insomnia, to the class. The two sessions that he had made a tremendous difference to our lives. Finally, after 10 years of the misery of sleeplessness and exhaustion for parent and child, it was over. My boy could just go to bed and go to sleep and I could have evenings to wind down. I was amazed that this was possible, easy and life-changing. Ever since then I have been a hypnotherapist helping others who are suffering and need something to change.
