Aleck
I’m Aleck Syms. I believe that beneath every fear, anxiety, limiting belief, and painful life experience is a part of us that we’ve lost touch with over time. My passion is helping people reconnect with that part of themselves by resolving the emotional patterns that have gradually shaped their lives. Through hypnotherapy, NLP, Time Line Therapy®, and practical psychological coaching, I’ve had the privilege of helping clients strengthen their sense of self, make impactful shifts in their lives, and bring greater alignment to how they think, feel, and live.
Julia
Julia Balto is a certified clinical hypnotherapist and trauma-informed performance specialist. She helps physicians, founders, athletes, and high performers move from survival mode to sustainable excellence. Through a blend of somatic healing, integrative hypnotherapy, and coaching, she specializes in supporting clients experiencing anxiety, burnout, trauma, chronic stress, and ADHD reprogram their subconscious and nervous system at the root for rapid transformation that lasts. Clients have said working together feels like ‘some kind of witchy brain magic’ with powerful shifts occurring in just one session.
Olga
I have been a Certified Hypnotist and Neurolinguistic Programming Master Coach Practitioner for over 12 years, as well as a practitioner of Energy Psychology, a Certified Compassion Key® Practitioner, and a Certified Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement® Teacher. I’m also a Physician Associate with over 12 years of clinical experience, with most of my work in neurosurgery and helping people manage their pain.
My personal experience with clinical burnout led me to learn more about the subconscious mind and the mind-body connection. Since the pandemic, when burnout became more prevalent, I have been helping caregivers prevent and cope with it by reconnecting with their inner power, resourcefulness, and healing abilities. I’m excited to work with HeartWise Hypnotherapy and offer my expertise to its clients.

Her work blends hypnosis, regression, and transpersonal approaches to support deep, lasting transformation. She is currently a doctoral candidate at Pacifica Graduate Institute. Elisabeth works with clients in English and French.
Lucia
Lucía Shuhaibar is a certified hypnotherapist and coach who helps clients release what’s holding them back, whether it’s fear, anxiety, insecurity, emotional overwhelm, addictions, eating patterns, or sleepless nights. Her approach works at the level where lasting change actually happens, addressing the root, not just the symptom. With a background in the performing arts, Lucía also brings a unique understanding of confidence, presence, and how to help clients step fully into themselves and show up as who they truly are. Sessions are available virtually, just as powerful as in person, or in office. If you’re ready to feel lighter, clearer, and more like yourself again, this is where that shift begins.
These sessions are an opportunity for you to experience the depth of healing that HeartWise Hypnotherapy is known for.
People are tired of surface-level talk therapies.
Our mission is to serve that need. Deep down, people want to change.
You want to change.
The HeartWise Method™ helps you by unwinding your subconscious patterns that have a hold on you. Whether it's anxiety, feeling stuck, lack of motivation, self-doubt, addictions, bad habits, or just a general yearning that something needs to change, we'll guide you through it.
You can feel so much relief even after one session.
Clearer. In control. Motivated. Empowered.
