Testimonials
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
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.
France Robinson
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
I have received nothing but positive comments from our patients. Many have asked for [a CD] of their own…patients appear to respond quickly to the format of your relaxation techniques.

I love that Nancy’s CoreYoga+ class is refreshingly real. I come away with a sense of peace and a sense of community that comes from having fun with others. It’s about balancing physical exertion, breath, laughter and relaxation. Nancy makes that all come together magically.
Jennifer Rice
The participants (post-menopausal women w/ Type 2 diabetes) in our MLP 2-yr grant research project have benefited greatly from their use of Nancy’s wonderful recordings. The breathing techniques, the guided imagery, the progressive physical relaxation…..these are very well-designed, beautifully presented programs that are having obvious, positive results.

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!

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? Expe… Read more

Nancy’s tapes and CDs have been perennial bestsellers at our store, in part because we feel great confidence in recommending them: everyone likes them, and often customers come back to get another as a gift.

Thank you so much, Nancy. What a prompt & very helpful reply! Your [PAIN: Softening the Sensations] CD has helped me immensely — I’ve even had two afternoon naps which is not usually possible as I find it difficult to give myself permission to ‘turn off’ for awhile. I’m workin’ on it! Warmly,
Sue NickelsDelta, BC, CANADA
Thank you so much for the session yesterday, Nancy. I am noticing shifts in my consciousness and ability to face some of my fears….. I noticed that you take donations for your work. I really value your work and I would like to contribute. Should I send you a check? Or follow a link online? Love to you.

Nancy’s CDs are well-done self-help tools for relaxation, affirmation and healing. (…keep on inspiring life!”)
Bernie Siegel, M.D.Author, Love, Medicine & Miracles Founder, ECaP (Exceptional Cancer Patients) Center
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.
Julie Gemmel, M.D.Radiation Oncologist, Willamette Valley Cancer Care Center
Your kindness, heart, and healing spirit made the most difficult time for me actually positive, even a little joyous. Your self-less, undying friendship with my mom and our family [before and during her passing] was immeasurable and a gift beyond words. Please know I will always consider you a friend and mentor. Thank you, Nancy.
Sherrie Warthen
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 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,’ a one-woman piece, is brought to life by canny and adept actress Nancy Hopps. Her insightful, energetic and multi-faceted performance guides us through flashbacks and stream of consciousness delivery….Deeply emotional…Good theater!”
Mary Conley, Siuslaw News
[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.

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

Hi Nancy! I just want to say thank you for sharing your sound healing last night. It was very beautiful indeed. I loved your rendition of Over the Rainbow – that just blasted my heart and crown open and I felt such radiant joy in that moment. I am definitely feeling the effects. Last night my body was just buzzing for hours, I couldn’t sleep! Today, I feel as if I am releasing a lot and have had several deep insights into the patterns I asked to release!!! Also a lot of random thoughts and I am… Read more

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. After a lifetime with no stress-reduction techniques, my body and mind had forgotten how to release tension, and the buildup was ruining the quality of my life, even though I exercised regularly. (I am probably going to get the Relax-Quick! disc as well,… Read more

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 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

When I got my diagnosis, I felt like I was in a free-fall without a safety net. To have this kind of wonderful, loving energy and support [on Relax Into Healing – Cancer: Embracing the Healing Journey] was literally life-saving. I was able to move from fear to love, and I really learned I AM not alone. THANK-you.

I took about three minutes of this hectic Saturday morning where all sorts of family will be coming over in five hours, to relax a bit. I found your voice to be just right – ‘grounded’. So if you do make an appearance in Chicago I would like to know about it. Thanks.

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.

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.

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 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.

The healing hands, voice and other amazing offerings by Nancy Hopps are something I hope you get to experience in your lifetime.

This exceptional production condenses timeless human tales of jealously, rejection and acclaim, exclusion and inclusion, power, romance, and sensuality.

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 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

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!

…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!

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.

I’ve read so many books about meditation, yoga, etc., and I’ve been in India studying meditation from Indian yogis and Tibetan lamas. Of all I learned, I still prefer color meditation to anything else…As you know, each color has a specific beneficial “quality” (there is a better word in Danish, but I can’t find the equivalent in English)…still, I can’t visualize colors clearly.

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

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.

It eases so much of the tension and lowers the pain decibels so that I can always fall asleep, even if just for a little while. The reprieve I get is such a huge relief.

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

Keep up your wonderful work!

Nancy has given her time, passion and purpose to the members of Eugene Family YMCA for nearly 20 years.

Experiencing your crystal bowls was one of the most powerful, emotional, beautiful (I could go on and on!) soul pleasing [series of] moments of our lives. We can’t thank you enough for sharing your precious gift….

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.
