… 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.

…The story of Inanna and her sister is a story distilled through five millennia of retelling into intense images which link the common human experience of countless cultures. This exceptional production condenses timeless human tales of jealously, rejection and acclaim, exclusion and inclusion, power, romance, and sensuality. Inanna, played by Nancy Hopps, is radiant, sensual, and powerful. She moves gracefully through the world of light in flowing gossamer garments, representing status, marriag… Read more

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 checked several of your CDs out of the library, including your Surgery one. I sunk into it 150%! It helped SO much! Thank you for these great recordings!

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
Lisa Rosen
At our invitation, Nancy has led a number of workshops at our store. Nancy’s presentations have been resounding successes,. She has a terrific knack for putting people at ease and getting them involved in the easy, enjoyable exercises she leads. Nancy has great expertise, and expresses it in a user-friendly, down-to-earth style that feels welcoming to people from all walks of life. Her warmth and sense of humor add to the value of the information she imparts.

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

I ALWAYS recommended your progressive muscle relaxation tape (w/colors on the reverse side) [Relaxation/Affirmation Techniques] when working with clients/patients who had difficulty recognizing/moving muscle tension through the body. Do you still have that? Is it available in CD? Now that I’m working in a physical therapy practice, I really need an imagery specific to muscles. Many thanks for your wonderful and healing voice and creative imagery! Nothing like it!!!
Renata MarsalNewberg, OR
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
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
“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.
Clarissa Gonzales, Visual Artist
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!
Aaron Smart, President, SPA Association, LCC
I decided to try EDGU as it was one of the few things offered at the YMCA at a time I could attend before going to work. That was well over a year ago and it is now one of the bright points in my week. Combining exercise and visualization I find it stimulating and relaxing at the same time. I particularly love that I can do it with eyes closed while Nancy’s supportive voice guides the way. I enjoy just following along to the visualization as Nancy speaks it in class and have not committed it to … Read more

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.

We LOVE “Mind Your Own Abyssness.” Ten minutes of terrific. Thanks again for your thought-provoking work.
Festival Producers, Majestic Eight Festival
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

Your very professionally-done CDs have helped so many of our patients – specifically I’m thinking of one of our head and neck cancer patients – your Radiation CD really helped him get through a series of rigorous radiation treatments. He was claustrophobic and worked diligently with your CDs every day to manage his anxieties on the treatment table. Thanks for all you do!

Hi Nancy,Been having a little stress in my life and wanted you to know that I always turn to your relaxation tapes[CDs] and receive such a gift of restorative peace of mind. Thank you for all you do. Love,
AnnSanta Barbara
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
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.

Also a lot of random thoughts and I am… Read more

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.
Melanie Oomen, associate pastor, First Congregational Church
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.

Nancy Hopps’ recordings are a must if you’re serious about relaxing, healing, and affirming your inner being. They are unique and beautifully done.

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

Please share our deepest gratitude with all of the actors and speakers who came!!

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
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.
George BeekmanAuthor and Multi-media Educator
I had a pinched nerve in my foot the other day, and your guidance was the only thing that got me through it…..it was excruciating, but the breathing, relaxation, imagery and especially the non-resistance I’ve practiced with your [Pain] CD for my other chronic health challenges helped keep me sane for the few hours til it eased up. THANK-you, Nancy!!!
N. Niehaus
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. A good one is Relaxation/Affirmation Techniques, by Nancy Hopps

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.

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

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

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

Thank you so much for the CDs for Surgery and Healing Affirmations & Harp. Phil and I sent them to his sister in PA. She was able to play them before surgery, during surgery and after! We talk to her often and she mentions her love of the CDs every time. The fact that she has gained so much from them gives us joy. It is difficult to be far away and support loved ones through a healing process. Warmly,

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

Your Chemotherapy CD has helped so much, offering me sanity in the face of overwhelm. Your guidance truly helps me cope with my feelings, helps me shift from fear into acceptance, from fragmentation into wholeness. This CD is my most essential supply when I go for treatment. I settle into the total safety and comfort of your voice, the gift of your wisdom, and open to the positive aspects of my chemotherapy. It’s equally worthwhile even when I drift off—it’s so nice to have your voice gently gui… Read more

Thank you, Nancy! You didn’t over-sell the merits of your Deep, Healing Sleep CD.

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!

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.

…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!

The breathing techniques, the guided imagery, the progressive physical relaxation…..these are very well-designed, beautifully presented programs that are having obvious, positive results.

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?
