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.
Nancy’s resonance with their sounds and tone is evident, from her spoken introduction to the first sound of the bowls’ tones. She blends her vocal sound with them and sometimes I would open my eyes to see if she was toning or was it the bowls?

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. I experienced spatial sound and felt the vibrational frequencies beyond our physical reality. Nancy is a multitalented healer and her capacity to embody fully sound healing is exceptional. Her feminine, loving, warmhearted personality is a gift to this world.

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.

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!!!

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

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.

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.

Let it go. Since stress is a huge trigger for cravings, learning to deal with it could potentially
save you hundreds of calories a day. This will take some practice. You can try deep breathing or visualizing a serene scene on your own, or you can speed things up by buying one of the many CDs that teach progressive muscle relaxation.

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

’Raw Canvas’ was a perfect grand finale for the Florence Playhouse summer season….. [It] is a witty and sensitive one-woman play well-crafted by Diane Barratt-Walton expressly for the inimitable talents of Nancy Hopps, a consummate actor, singer and dancer.”

“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.

Hi Nancy!
Just wanted to let you know that I have been using your Deep Healing Sleep disc for a couple of weeks now, with astonishing results. I can’t tell you how lifesaving your techniques and presentation are. There are so few people who really understand the value of sleep and relaxation that I wanted to affirm your efforts to help people in those areas. I am probably going to get the Relax-Quick! CD as well, for use throughout the day. I work in a stressful office and live in a city.… Read more

I had an amazing, powerful healing dream after being at Nancy Hopps’ crystal bowl concert…After I woke up I could tell I felt inwardly refreshed. My optimism and light-heartedness had returned after a few weeks of feeling somewhat down, sad or angry. I e-mailed dear Nancy to thank her. Despite having been somewhat distracted during the bowls event with remnants of a cold, and thus unable to “sink in” as deeply as I would have liked, the dream suggests to me that “something was happening… Read more

I think you probably knew just how much I needed that time with you yesterday. I have not cried that long and hard with anyone but [my husband] in probably 25 years. So much release…so much insight and healing happened. I have been tired today … but so much calmer. So thank you for being such an amazing being, for offering such a safe space for me and for shining your loving heart and facilitating such deep healing. You are a wonder.

How did you come to use Nancy’s CDs?
I first heard about her CDs from a doctor, after I had had surgery…Then, I went to a [Cancer] support group… It was a group that I wasn’t “clicking with.” It wasn’t a spiritual, mind-body healing … anything like that. And I so wanted that! And then [Nancy] came in… and I just knew she was there for me!

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

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.

One woman comes in every time and listens to the first five minutes or so of your [Cancer: Embracing the Healing Journey] CD to relax and prepare herself, before she’ll even let me start her chemo preps. Another woman postponed her chemo treatment til the next day so she could listen to your whole [Chemotherapy] CD first!…

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.

I highly recommend Nancy’s work as an excellent foundation for bodymind health and healing. Her warm, soothing voice, the peaceful music and the skillful suggestions make her guided relaxation and imagery CDs and tapes among the very best.

Thanks for your beatific voice – so calming and reassuring. I’ll tell you, using this [Relaxation/Affirmation Techniques] tape (since 1989!) is probably one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself! Can you send me a catalogue of other titles?

I have used some of Nancy’s excellent relaxation tapes with both adults and teens with superb results. Her gentle, pleasing voice aids in transporting the listener through a rainbow of guided images. I highly recommend her tapes to anyone who is on the path less traveled.
