Dan Candell introduces virtual weight loss band hypnosis to Northborough
Northborough – When was the last time you felt fantastic? Well, it is time to feel that way again. Dan Candell and his associate, Deidre McKeating-Eck, will be bringing a new methodology to weight loss. As certified virtual lapband specialists, they will be hypnotizing people over the course of six to eight sessions into “thinking” that they have undergone the gastric lapband procedure. Unlike the surgery, there are no risks involved. This is an extremely effective way to lose large amounts of weight. This is not a diet, but a new way to feel full with very small quantities of food. Visit www.dancandellhypnosis.com or call 508-393-8690 and set up a free consultation.
