Why did you choose to work with Nancy?
I had a felt a lump on my neck around New Years Eve, and I was diagnosed a few weeks later with…non-Hodgkins lymphoma. And, I had known, I knew Nancy from a stage production we were in together. And I knew that she did healing work with cancer patients.
So, we hadn’t spoken in a while, but I called her up and we had lunch and…I started seeing her regularly, weekly, after that.
What are some of the most important things you’ve learned in your work… Read more

I had a rather serious fall last October, dislocating and breaking my right shoulder, crushing the shoulder socket, and severing the rotator cuff. Just five days before major surgery, I happened to uncover your Relax Into Healing CD for Surgery – the demo CD that you brought to the Celebration last summer. So I began listening to it each evening and on the way to the hospital just before the surgery. It was very, very helpful, Nancy. Beautifully done, encouraging, soothing, uplifting. I felt dee… Read more

Nancy’s beautiful CDs [Surgery: Mindful Mending and Healing Affirmations & Harp] were a godsend for me during surgery and treatment.
Mary Buss, Professional Actor/Director, Oklahoma City, OK
I love my [PAIN: Softening the Sensations] CD. This was the first time in over 2 years that I had a few minutes of being pain free. Thank you! [in response to my email inquiry:] Yes you may quote me. What you do has become such a blessing in my life! I am learning to live a better life (with or without the pain) and I thank you for this! I am so happy that my pain counselor has your CDs available for purchase in her office. Blessings to you, you are a candle in my life.

We listened to your [Relaxation/Affirmation] CD in our [alternative high school] class yesterday, and…wow! It was really cool. I got really relaxed!
J.J.(age 17)Eugene, OR
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.

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

You have the MOST effective line of soothing tapes/CDs I’ve ever used, and I’ve tried a lot of ’em… The reason I wanted to order the Relaxation/Affirmation CD is because a friend of mine sent me the cassette tape quite a few years ago and it is almost worn out!! It is my favorite relaxation method of all. It always relaxes me into a restful sleep. Keep up the good work.
Ann W.Santa Barbara, CA
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.

I wanted to let you know that the patient that used your [Surgery] CD has done beautifully and had no post-operative nausea or vomiting, and minimal pain. This is remarkable, considering that the size of the tumor removed from her pelvis was so much more than she – or anyone – expected, and was completely embedded/attached to major organs. She has a clean bill of health, positive energy, and is quite active for someone so soon after a surgery like this. Bravo! I have yet to listen to the ent… Read more

Three days later, when we talked, she was still enjoying the spiritual high. Even cancelled a counseling session, because she was feeling so gooood.

Ask anyone who knows me to describe me and the word Zen would never be used. However, Zen is what I became prior to my surgery thanks to Nancy and her beautiful Surgery: Mindful Mending CD. I am not one to meditate but was given the gift of her cd a week before my hysterectomy. I didn’t know what a wonderful and needed gift it was going to turn out to be. I listened to it daily in preparation and had it playing on my iPod during pre-op. The anesthesiologist came by right before my surger… Read more

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
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.)

I have tried every kind of drug and herbal remedy on the market for my chronic insomnia, in addition to hypnosis, acupuncture, and solo meditation. None of these tools were able to remedy the root of the problem–my inability to relax and let go.

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.

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 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.

I found Nancy’s voice very appealing. The tape [Relaxation/Affirmation Techniques] is simple, but deep… not a lot of distractions like so many other tapes have. It’s sold well.

…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
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!
C.T.Eugene, OR
People come in with a lot of fear – fear of the unknown, fear of pain, just being afraid because they have cancer. Nancy does a fabulous job of preparing patients for what will happen here and of equipping them with relaxing images and coping skills. Tools like this absolutely make a difference in helping patients get the most from treatment.

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
For 15 years I’ve been in chronic pain. I choose not to take medication – that’s why your work is so important to me. I’ve been able to put on your [Pain] CD when I wake up in pain, and it helps tremendously. You have a real gift, Nancy. With profound gratitude,

I sure wish I’d had your beautiful CD when I was going through my radiation treatments. It would have made it so much easier! This is very valuable work.

I did a private crystal bowl sound healing session with Nancy and it was the most profound experience I’ve had in my life. Her gentle, flowing and intuitive approach helped me to relax and connect with the deepest parts of myself.

Her feminine, loving, warmhearted personality is a gift to this world.

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.
