Shelley Murphy, Food & Body Image Hypnotherapist
Hypnotherapist, BASc, Former RD
Unwanted body focused repetitive behaviours often originate in the subconscious mind as coping mechanisms for stress, boredom, or emotional discomfort. Hypnosis works by accessing that subconscious space and helping to reframe the mind’s association with the habit, release the need for it, and create new mental pathways that support calm, awareness, and control.

Marjan Emami
Counsellor/Therapist, MD, RTC #3608, MPCC-Provisional #4797, ACTA #3122
I approach body-focused repetitive behaviors—such as skin picking, hair pulling, or nail biting—as meaningful responses, often serving as ways the body regulates tension or unmet emotional needs. Together, we explore what these behaviors are expressing and the patterns behind them. Through increased awareness and a more compassionate relationship with oneself, change can emerge in a way that is both sustainable and respectful.

Paighe Rojas
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
If you pick, pull, bite, or repeat body-focused habits that feel soothing in the moment but distressing afterward, you’re not broken—your system is self-regulating. We’ll identify triggers, strengthen alternative regulation strategies, and reduce shame so you can interrupt the cycle with more choice. Progress is possible, and it doesn’t require willpower alone.
