Nanci DuPlant



Hypnosis: The Deep Healing Within
2:05-2:35pm
Stone Cottage



As a professional of high standing, Nanci DuPlant is dedicated to helping the public become more informed about what Hypnosis means. She explains how the process deals with the two states of mind—conscious and subconscious. "The altered state of consciousness can guide you to more positive awakened life changes," she says. During hypnosis, the altered state of consciousness lets in relaxation and it begins to flow, allowing the subconscious mind to listen and observe new positive behaviors."


Bio: Nanci E. DuPlant, C.Ht. operated a very successful hypnotherapy clinic in Richardson, Texas since 1977. Her clients come from a wide spectrum of professions and a diversity of problems and issues on which she has assisted them to workable solutions. A hypnotherapist such as Nanci is highly trained and specialized in her profession. She recommends that people check out her reputation and credentials before deciding on a hypnotherapy session. Her belief is that the client is most important and the relationship should have a positive effect and have a good experience.
