Who Am I…Really?
…and why am I here, doing what I’m doing? I’d love to share a few thoughts on that. And, I’d love to share a few insights about YOU, during this pivotal time here on earth. Wanna connect for a moment? Just press play!
Nancy’s known for her ability to create an immediate sense of calm, safety, and trust, whether with one person or with large groups. Her genuine warmth, empathy, and inner wisdom, combined with a playful spark, generate a delightful and contagious vibe.
She’s taught through the University of Oregon and was a founding staff member at Concordia Health Resources, a mind/body healing center providing adjunctive health care for physician-referred patients. She developed and recorded the relaxation segments for the “Living with Breast Cancer” program funded by the National Cancer Institute, the “Coping with Depression” and “mPower Wellness Workshop” online programs funded by the National Institute of Mental Health, and the National YMCA “Livestrong” program, designed to help cancer survivors thrive.
Nancy was instrumental in the development and on-site implementation of the stress-management elements of several grant projects, including an acclaimed program by the National Institute of Health/Oregon Research Institute, which studied the effects of lifestyle changes on postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes. She has presented for innumerable companies and organizations in the US and beyond.
Her current passion is transforming individual and global consciousness via the power of sound healing.

I remember as a young child, maybe 5 or 6 years old, sitting in front of a full-length mirror in our vestibule, watching other beings, other “characters” emerge from my own reflected image. (I even remember some of their names!)
Though more spiritual than theatrical in nature, that experience exemplifies my longstanding fascination with who we really are. It was a precursor for my pursuing a philosophy major in college, and ultimately becoming a mind-body-spirit Healing Artist, as well as a Performing Artist and Playwright.
My compelling interest in the essential nature of our being prompted me to explore how we all come to create the character descriptions we then must play out on the grander stage of Life. (And how we can change those descriptions if they’re not serving us!)
That same fascination also prompted me to explore how to create characters on page and stage, as playwright and actor.

Over the years Nancy has been my guide and teacher…It was her guidance and loving meditations in her Relax Into Healing audio series that kept me going through some of my darkest times. And now this! I just finished reading her new book, All the Courage Love Takes. I couldn’t put it down!!! It is amazing!! What an outpouring of honesty and sharing of our human vulnerabilities. Nancy has taken me on yet another healing journey. This new book is a gift that should be widely shared. Thank you, Nancy, for once again helping me remember who I AM.

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.
