Testimonials
When I went in for my first chemo, I wasn’t at all afraid and I know it was because of your CD and guidance. I feel so grateful to have been led to you. Thank-you, Nancy.
Lorelei Kyllonen
It was wonderful to have been led to your doorstep as I faced the process of surgery and recovery. Your voice and guidance are so gentle and reassuring. They create such a loving atmosphere for facing the fears, the pain, and the grieving connected with surgery. And I know the recovery process was greatly speeded by your gently healing ways. Thank you, Nancy, for making this healing CD available to so many.
Bonnie Lamont
My oral surgeon was very impressed that my heart rate never went over 60 beats/minute. I was so relaxed during the whole extraction and grafting procedure. Your Surgery CD is why!
Ken NiehausEugene, OR
Can you talk about some of the healing work you’ve done with Nancy? We started with bodywork and… it’s kind of opened some things up and I began to really understand that what was happening here was beyond simple body work, and that I carry within my body a lot of my past [abuse] experience. And that, working with Nancy had really started to open that up in a way that it hadn’t been before. I had been aware of things, and I had been aware of my body as an athlete, as a martial artist, b… Read more

I need to order several more complete sets of your CDs. I can’t keep them in our lending library – they’re always checked out. Patients love them! Your voice, the music, your choice of words…it’s all wonderful. Your CDs create such a feeling of peace. How can something so gentle and soothing be so powerful?!! Thank-you, Nancy, for sharing your healing gifts with us.
Lynda Godell, MSWDirector, Patient Support Services, Willamette Valley Cancer Care Center

As a Massage Therapist [LMT], how do you use Nancy’s work? She’s been a resource for me, so anytime that I have a client that needs to really ground and center, I send them to her. Or, if I have clients who are undergoing chemotherapy or surgery, I always have them go get her CDs. How have Nancy’s CDs helped your clients? Well, one really cool thing about the Surgery one is that surgeons let their patients take the CDs into the operating room. And a friend of mine had knee surgery, and … Read more

On Tamoxifen, I experience severe muscle cramps during the night, and recently also began listening to your Pain CD at bedtime…. [I’ve also benefited greatly from your Chemo CD]. Thank you for your words of solace and support in your CDs. You have helped so many of us on the road to recovery from cancer.

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

Let me say that your voice is most enjoyable and helpful…The affirmations are great – I say this because so much material from the “New Age” movement is unsuitable to Christians…but I believe your affirmations are general enough to be of benefit and healing to all who use them.Every blessing for success with your work.
S.R.Catholic PriestAustralia
Taking yoga with Nancy is challenging, sweat inducing and fun. She brings a wealth of experience, training, understanding and patience to her classes. Nancy is a wonderful teacher for the novice or the long time practitioner. Whether you are just getting off the couch or looking to get even stronger and more balanced in heart and soul, I recommend Nancy without reservation to be your guide. She is a rare treasure.
Rebecca Nachision
Simple, straightforward, and very effective… easy to see why it’s rapidly becoming a best-seller!

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

Nancy has given her time, passion and purpose to the members of Eugene Family YMCA for nearly 20 years. Most of that time she has been a volunteer leading EDGU, and bringing this gift to the people of our community because she cares so deeply about EDGU’s impact. Her ability to lead so many forms of group exercise led her to eventually become a paid Y Staff Instructor as well. (She also taught step and dance aerobics in years past, as well as CoreYoga/Pilates and EDGU now.) Taking classe… Read more
Kari PorterDirector of Health & WellnessEugene Family YMCA
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. The imagery on these relaxation tapes is very powerful.
Scott ClutheWisdom Radio Network
Nancy Hopps’ work is a treasure, as is she! Her meditations, relaxation exercises, and most of all – her beautiful heart – are a gift to everyone who struggles to stay centered and joyful in the midst of life in the ‘Modern Age.’ I highly recommend Nancy’s work to anyone who is working with stress, physical illness, or just a desire to feel more alive, more loving, more connected, and happier.
John E. WelshonsSpeaker and author, Awakening from Grief and When Prayers Aren't Answered
I knew I was capable of ‘going inside’ of me (I have at times), but I never really knew how. You gave me the “how-to”…it reinforced the Self that we all have and somehow forget about through our daily lives. Thank-you, Nancy.
L.D.Portland, OR
Ms. Hopps has produced one of the best relaxation tapes available for use with patients suffering from PTSD symptomatology [anger, anxiety, depression, insomnia]. Her rich voice, the timing of her suggestions, and the minimal use of music make Relaxation/Affirmation Techniques a classic among stress-management materials.
Wm. D. Booth, Ph.D.Veteran's Administration Medical CenterTuskegee, AL
You have been playing in my head and heart for 2 days. Chemo yesterday. Your healing words have helped so much.
Marcia CrimArlington, TX
I still use your [Relaxation/Affirmation Techniques] tape frequently as a way to relax mentally as well as physically – to stop the barrage of thoughts that always crowd in when I stop long enough to try and relax…

I love your crystal singing bowls…they brought joy to the hardest time of my life… Very healing.
Sherrie Allison WarthenSpringfield, OR
Nancy brings her gift for sharing deep love and acceptance of who you are to the practice of EDGU. My time spent with Nancy in EDGU has been deeply healing and inspiring to my life in many ways from working through depression and anxiety to learning to love and accept myself as I am. I also began to grow and develop my sense of connection to a higher purpose and to my higher self as student of Nancy’s EDGU class. This was not an overnight process but I do know that my years of EDGU practice wi… Read more

The day I first heard one of your CDs was a revelation for me…I now have seven of your CDs and have been in your loving, healing radiance for the past two months. You have become my special angel, and for that – and so much more – I am grateful. Pain has been my constant companion, so your has guided me along the way. I constantly use Pain: Softening the SensationsDeep, Healing Sleep and Healing Affirmations & Harp and my most recent purchase, Finding the Peaceful Place Within. I cannot express… Read more

I just wanted to thank you so much for your CD Relaxing into Healing [PAIN: Softening the Sensations] which is so beautiful and has been so helpful to me. I have a chronic illness and have been struggling for a long time, but I am so much better now. I have been working a lot with meditation and relaxation techniques. With your CD I could for the first time follow any breathing instructions, which has been an obstacle to me previously, I have felt uncomfortable and slightly panicky but with your… Read more

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

My 11-year old son has been restless at night and having trouble sleeping, maybe because of the adolescent melatonin imbalance thing. He asked if he could use my relaxation and sleep CDs (Relaxation/Affirmation Techniques and Relax Into Healing: Deep, Healing Sleep) …and he loves ’em! He’s been using them every night. He’s sleeping so much better and waking up feeling rested and happy. The good sleep is helping his concentration on school work, too. So thank you…your work is really making a diff… Read more

… at the Society of Technical Communicators meeting …the night’s topic was Stress Management for Stressed-Out Professionals…The speaker, Nancy Hopps, is a seasoned professional, having spent the last twenty years developing her techniques and guiding thousands of students, clients and workshop participants. Her presentation was simple, yet quite effective.
Erica CocoSociety for Technical Communication
Some time ago I bought the tape Relax-Quick! by Nancy Hopps and have found it extremely helpful…I am a relative newcomer to this whole area of self-help techniques for health and well-being, and find it all fascinating! …Thank-you.
Mrs. E.J.London, England
Thanks so much for the CD on surgery and mending. It was wonderful. I was really apprehensive about the surgery to the point where I was focusing mostly on all the things that could go wrong. Your guided meditations and the lovely harp music really allowed me to redirect all those negative thoughts. Don’t get me wrong – I didn’t exactly leap onto the surgery table. But on the other hand, I did show up at the hospital on my assigned date with a calm mind and a relaxed body, both of which I’m sure… Read more

I suffered from severe panic attacks for decades before discovering Nancy’s Relaxation/Affirmation Techniques. Nancy’s techniques have completely freed me. I no longer experience feelings or the fear that I might die [from anxiety], nor do I have to take the 12 medications I was once prescribed to take daily. The moment I discovered Nancy’s techniques, I began to dedicate an hour each day to listening to them — 6 months later, I was able to go from 12 to ONE prescription. I regained control of m… Read more

Nancy Hopps has an amazing voice. It’s no wonder, then, that the listener feels supported, comforted and helped in such amazing ways. I’ve listened to many audio healing programs over the years, but Nancy’s Relax Into Healing CDs truly stand out from the rest. They combine the best of professional content with an understanding of what is really involved in healing under difficult circumstances. I highly recommend these heartfelt relaxation and healing programs.
Meredith Young-Sowers, D.Div.Speaker and author, Spirit Heals Director, Stillpoint Foundation and School
Experiencing your crystal bowls was one of the most powerful, emotional, beautiful, (I could go on & on!) soul-pleasing moments of our lives. We can’t thank you enough for sharing your precious gifts.
Valerie and Doug, San Diego, CA
How were you first introduced to Nancy’s work? I was diagnosed with [liver] cancer almost two years ago. I had surgery about six weeks after I was diagnosed…Some friends brought me [Nancy’s] CD…to prepare for and heal during [and after] surgery….Then once I started healing from the surgery, I had some friends who collected a fund for me to come and work with [Nancy]…It was an unbelievable gift….and so I started coming to work with her… How has your life been impacted by your work with Nancy?… Read more

I gave your [RELAXATION/AFFIRMATION CD]to my 70-yr.old mom about a year ago, and she loves it! I’ve never seen her take to anything- any other tapes or books – like she has to yours. She has high blood pressure, stress, and a host of other health problems, and she listens to your tape religiously every afternoon. She actually wore it out! So I’d like to send her one of each of your relaxation CD’s for an anniversary gift.

I’ve listened to a lot of relaxation tapes and CDs, but yours is the best – the most balanced – your voice is wonderful, the affirmations are…not too flowery!

I have had a real breakthrough the past two nights with the “Finding the Peaceful Place Within” CD. Thank you sooo much …. I’ve been wanting to find a good CD for a couple of years to help me and this is the first one that has really clicked for me. I feel so grateful. I’m wondering if I could order the sleep one as well?
Leah GreenFounder and Director of The Compassionate Listening ProjectSeattle, WA
I’m currently in an Outpatient Treatment Program for substance (in my case alcohol) abuse. On behalf of my mother and myself, we THANK YOU so much for the healing work you do. We listen to your cds daily and find them effective and comforting.
J.A.F.Everett, WA
Thank you, Nancy! You didn’t over-sell the merits of your Deep, Healing Sleep CD. I’ve listened to it many times and today have it running continually to float in the relaxing, positive energy you express. It eased the allergic tickle in my throat when I listened to it at the hospital’s Sleep Fair where we met, and now my “lost voice” is almost back! Thank you for being there in the exactly perfect place for me to get the help I desperately needed. You’ve given me my life back. Gratefully,… Read more

I have been wanting to write to you ever since your fall Napa concert. I had a most amazing thing happen during your concert...I was suddenly aware of a total change in the air quality. It was as if the windows had been thrown open and this incredible, divinely fresh purified air was available for a short time!! …Thank you for the amazing concert! Keep up the healing work, spreading light and awareness.
Rende LazureNapa, CA
The most mature play [of the festival] is “Mind Your Own Abyssness” by Nancy Hopps. Here, surrealistic metaphor becomes actual as a man grapples with powerful emotions. At one point he shouts at his fellow actor to, “Quit f**king with my internal landscape!” Take that Edward Albee.
Jonathan Siegle, Register-Guard reviewer
I especially liked the format of [Track 2 – Relaxation/Affirmation Techniques] – the deep relaxation induction followed by a series of well-designed affirmations. It gives the listener time to ingest each one on a deep, subjective level.
S.W.Institute for Bio-Acoustic ResearchEugene, OR
This is the first time that a crystal bowls presentation really “touched me” – I’ve been to many different events, and they just never really did anything for me. But this – your event – was extremely powerful….something about the way you play them, your voice…just even to watch you…..it was very sacred. It was an amazing experience…….I’m still vibrating from it – literally!

I was blessed with meeting Nancy in Kona on The Big Island in Hawaii in April of 2010 at a Cancer Retreat at Kokolulu Cancer Retreat Center, where she gifted us with her healing bowls and voice. In August, after flying to Portland to get a second opinion about my cancer situation, I visited her at her Healing Sanctuary. This beautiful place is only 15 minutes from downtown Eugene, yet I felt like I was in a wilderness area surround by beautiful trees and bushes. After a warm greeting fro… Read more

I first started working with Nancy in 2003. I had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder several years previously, and I was having a hell of a time figuring out how to go forward. Nancy was amazingly helpful, supportive, and incredibly patient during this period of our association. When we terminated the therapeutic relationship at an appropriate point, we parted on loving terms. I called Nancy again in 2010, after a terrifying PTSD flashback of a violent suicide attempt two years previously. … Read more

Once again, you have made my life so much better!!! I have been listening to your CD’s/tapes for many years, regularly, especially at night. Recently my husband had a motorcycle accident and broke both legs. Needless to say, I have been his main caregiver and it has been quite a task. We recently went camping and somehow I injured my eye and have a badly scratched cornea. SO, in addition to assisting my dear husband, I must take good care of myself. I first thought was YOU!!!!

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

…What is also in the play’s favor is seven terrific roles for four actors. First, there is Sylvia, a tour-de-force role played to the whiskers by Nancy Hopps. She is everything a winsome dog can be – cute, peppy, poutty, sexy, irritable, you name it. She throws herself headlong into the demanding role and carries the day. A stunning performance!
Fred Crafts
[The Taming of the Shrew] is blessed with a delightful cast, dominated by Richard Leebrick as Petruchio and Nancy Hopps as Kate. The two have worked together before, and their strengths are well-matched. Both are highly physical actors with excellent vocal skills and comic timing. We’re lucky to have them here in Eugene.
Dorothy Velasco
I just wanted to tell you how valuable your Surgery CD was for me before and after my knee replacement surgery. I used it for weeks and weeks and it helped tremendously. I had a lot of apprehension about the operation, and it really helped me change my attitude. Your voice is absolutely beautiful – it’s so soothing. You are doing very valuable work. Thank you so much.

Nancy’s yoga+ classes are the best thing I’ve done for my forty-year-old body. The fact that I can count on two evenings a week of motivational deep breathing and muscle stretching and toning is key to ensuring I have a productive work week. Getting old is way easier having Nancy Hopps in my life. We are very fortunate to have her in the neighborhood!

She has a terrific knack for putting people at ease and getting them involved in the easy, enjoyable exercises she leads.

Robert Fackelman, M.D.Seattle, WA
Nancy is doing some incredibly powerful work with tonal vibrations elicited from a series of beauteous bowls which carried me to depths I had only experienced previously through sweat lodge ceremonies, of times spent with the rock elders. This is not work for anyone with preconceptions formed from other healing practices. As for the vocals that were present…some of the “rawness” that came out helped break down blocks and holds within me. Like claws strong enough to score stone. Those moments of … Read more

Nancy Hopps warm and gentle voice, along with her wonderful message, has made an astonishing difference in the stage 4 lymphoma I have been diagnosed with. This week I had the third of the six chemo treatments in my protocol. Before listening to the CD’s, I had persistent pain in my stomach and back. Amazingly, after the first chemo session, and listening to Nancy’s CD’s at least two times a day, my oncologist said I am doing “fantastically well.” Prior to listening to the CD’s, … 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. The spiritu… Read more

Aloha Nancy – Just a quick note to thank you for your wonderful gift of Love and Healing. The Bowls really are healing! My neck has been so tight and sore for years. After being in the Army 20 years wearing a heavy helmet it is no wonder. While you were playing last night at some point my head felt as if it was floating off my neck.

Thank you so much for the CD. I’m enjoying it as I write. Your CD is so good, I’m going to download it onto my iPod. I want to take your energy everywhere I go. I think the whole world needs to listen to your CDs. An Ocean Of Calm [on Finding the Peaceful Place Within] is simply wonderful.

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.

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.

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

THANKS FOR THE FAST-TRACK HEALING! Well my rehab continues to sail on at an accelerated pace. I work hard at the physical therapy exercises, walk as far as I can, eat good nourishing food and relax and meditate in between. Yes, “relaxing into healing” works. Lets your energy (qi) go to work healing, unhindered by petty fears and insignificant daily hassles. I do hope your message continues to expand for the benefit of many. Love and Cheers,

One of the reasons our neighborhood is such a jewel, is the ongoing yoga+ classes Nancy offers at the Healing Sanctuary. What a luxury it is not having to get in a car! When Nancy works us hard, we find laughter a great way to persevere. Personally, the focus on abdominal/core work combined with gentle stretching has kept my mild scoliosis symptom-free.

“End of the Rope” is a startling, somewhat haunting portrayal of a woman’s journey in limbo. Endlessly intriguing, it pulls you into a different world, with the use of a simple rope as a beautiful and unforgettable symbol of emotional upheaval. Powerful and beautifully executed.

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!!!

Nancy is quite simply one of the most warm, joyous, and infectiously enthusiastic presenters to have come through our doors! She walks in her heart and shares her gifts, talent and knowledge as though she has but one moment left to bestow upon the universe as much love as possible.

The play [“We Are Neighbors”] was powerful, the actors were genuine and effective…and the discussion was also good. It was a very powerful and important offering to the congregation and we are very, very grateful.

This piece of existentialist theatre by playwright Nancy Hopps and directed by David Arnold is sure to inspire self-reflection on the part of the audience. “Mind Your Own Abyssness” is a unique play you will not want to miss!

Outstanding! “End of the Rope” has its own atmosphere….Fascinating.
Christian Galvez Cusi, Actor
Nancy Hopps fairly beams as she casts her inner glow over the Eugene Chamber Theatre’s “The Descent of Inanna,” a dark and complex modern telling of a 5,000 year old Sumarian myth. Hopps does it all – sings, dances, acts. But primarily she makes you believe in the joys, pains and magnitude of Inanna’s challenges. Her Inanna embodies all the elements of both a sprite and a stone. She is vague and ephemeral one moment, specific and sensual the next. It is her show, and she puts an enormous stamp o… Read more

I have moderately severe spinal stenosis at L4 and 5 that causes intense muscle spasms. I’ve been using your relaxation techniques for several months now, and they’re working…this is a serious back injury, and it’s really helping! Also, using these techniques in combination with exercise and diet, my blood pressure has dropped from 200/80 to 160/65!

[In the touring production of An Oregon Idyl] Nancy Hopps as Margaret is really the driving force of this show. Her presence always stirs up interest. She is both learned and lusty, an entertaining combination.

I’ve attended a number of seminars, and I’d say yours is one of the best, as far as coming away with really useful tools…I still use your CD frequently as a way to relax mentally as well as physically – to stop the barrage of thoughts that always crowd in when I stop long enough to try and relax. I would highly recommend your seminar to anyone. It was well worth the investment of time and money.
