Dear Nancy – I am sending you this check… because a neighbor shared two of your CDs with me recently, as I am going through treatment for breast cancer. I have put them into my iPod, and realize that you won’t receive any income for this use, and so I wanted to reimburse you for your work. I listened to your Radiation CD before I began that treatment, and it allowed me to undertake this process with a much more positive attitude about it than I probably would have otherwise. I am very grateful … Read more

You are absolutely amazing and so are your CDs! I’ve got a LOT of them –– and I haven’t used my other ones since I discovered yours. I’m in chronic pain myself, and these CD’s are amoung the best I have personally tried. I would like to promote them through the [pain support] group and make them more readily available here.

How were you drawn to Nancy’s work?
About three years ago there was a lovely article in the Register Guard and it really told all about her. I had [breast] cancer at the time but it had not spread and I wasn’t really in need of, or didn’t think I was in need, of help at the time. But very shortly after that, Nancy had a CD signing over at Border’s bookstore and I was out of town…but I gave her a call because my cancer had spread and I was needing to start chemo. And, oh, I’ll tell you, … Read more

I’ve been listening to Track 5, Embracing All Emotions on the Cancer CD, over and over again, because I really need to hear that…it feels like you really know what I’m going through, and that it’s okay to feel everything I’m feeling. It’s helped so much. Thank you, Nancy…..I’ve also been using your Chemo CD during my treatments, and it’s wonderful…even when I drift off, it’s so nice to have your voice gently guiding me in the background

I gave your Relax-Quick! CD as a gift to each of our professional facilitators at the recent Annual Company Meeting. We then used the CD for an extended relaxation exercise during the meeting. People enjoyed the first exercise so much, that we decided to do the entire Section 2! ‘Rainbow’ and ‘Back-Pack’ were our favorites. One man never made it past the middle of ‘Rainbow,’ and just snored softly through the rest of the exercises! Now that’s relaxation! Our business client lea… Read more

It is my favorite relaxation method of all. It always relaxes me into a restful sleep. Keep up the good work.

One year ago, after 30 years of marriage, I lost my husband to suicide after making the decision to divorce him. I was left with a lot of unresolved guilt and sadness, which had not progressed very far in the healing process, despite months of traditional “talk therapy”. My life had become something to be endured rather than enjoyed. I could not shake the guilt or sadness. I began to have neurological symptoms, and the neurologist said that I should seek emotional healing for the symptoms. (Symp… Read more

I was talking to a friend last week, and she started raving about your crystal bowls event, that she thought I’d enjoy. She told me that it took her to a wonderful, spiritual altered state.

These are wonderful techniques… You’re giving information that’s been around and that’s been used by a lot of people, but you have a wonderful way of simplifying it, directing it, and taking the pretension out of it so it’s very accessible to the user.

Meeting Nancy Hopps for the first time was like seeing an old friend and soul sister. Her peaceful joy shines with her warm, welcoming smile. Never having heard Alchemical Crystal Healing Bowls before, I was curious about this new experience.

It’s not every festival that the Festival Director exercises his prerogative to select a play to go through to the Gala Final…But this year the quality has been remarkable, and I was so impressed with this one that I used my Festival Director’s choice to put it through. Nancy Hopps’ haunting “End of the Rope,” directed by Ben Harris and featuring the lovely Amelia Forsyth-Smith, will be onstage again twice tomorrow. Don’t miss it!

I purchased your CD Relax Into Healing: Deep, Healing Sleep in December 2003 as I lay night after night for over 2 years not being able to obtain the quality and quantity of sleep I needed in order to function in this busy world. Well, after 2 weeks of looking at the CD I decided, “Well, it can’t hurt to try”. I am writing to you today because I have been able to fall asleep ever since the first time I listened to this amazing CD. I never thought it would really work but I gave it a try. I am so… Read more

I was lying on my bed after abdominal surgery, in pain and feeling very blue, when I began listening to your cd Relax Into Healing: Pain, Softening the Sensations. After listening and participating in the meditation, I felt an incredible feeling of calm and relief come over me. My partner came into the room and I said to her, “I just went from despair and rage to hope and joy.” It really was a major turning point and one that lasted for the rest of my recovery. Thank you so much Nancy for of… Read more

I listened to the Surgery CD last night and it is amazing. You are truly a divine spark, Nancy. May your CDs spread near and far assisting millions in their healing process. I had tried 3 different pre-surgery CDs, and all of these pale in comparison to yours. Your voice is a salve for my fear. Really, yours is in a class of its own. I am so grateful, so fortunate that it came to me when it did.

Thank-you so much for the [Relaxation/Affirmation] tape…When I started experiencing theanxiety in class again, it was so easy to call to mind your helpful tape and your calming influence. The world needs more healing influences like you!

Nancy,
Your CDs are absolutely life changing. Thank you!!! I have finished chemo and radiation…I can’t begin to tell you how helpful your [Cancer, Chemo, Radiation, Pain, Healing Affirmations] recordings were. I listened to them every day during treatment and for a while afterwards. I feel like I need a Nancy fix after not hearing them for awhile! We are getting ready to start up our [cancer treatment] program here. I’ll stay in touch. Blessings are with you!!!

Guest director Peter Anthony created a revision of this Shakespearean masterpiece that allowed the author’s revision and passion to emerge through the original eloquent dialogue…one change that made this production so enjoyable for the audience was the continual stage presence of the three witches who open the play. Sheila San Nicholas, Nancy Hopps, and Gwyneth Moss Bregdon wowed the audience with dynamic weirdness and aerobic dances throughout the performance, often with mime, sometimes with mi… Read more

I take EDGU with Nancy for many wonderful reasons. The exercise is simple to understand and follow, and is a complete physical, mental, emotional engagement. Having the option of taking the form to a more challenging level, by taking a deeper stance, and rotating more fully and quickly, rather than more slowly and gently, creates an invigorating as well as nourishingly fluid class. The movement aligns and opens my spine, hips, shoulders and neck like no other exercise I have done.
