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!!!

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
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
Guest director Peter Anthony created a revision of this Shakespearean masterpiece that allowed the author’s revision and passion to emerge through the original eloquent dialogue…one change that made this production so enjoyable for the audience was the continual stage presence of the three witches who open the play. Sheila San Nicholas, Nancy Hopps, and Gwyneth Moss Bregdon wowed the audience with dynamic weirdness and aerobic dances throughout the performance, often with mime, sometimes with mi… Read more

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?

…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 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.

Dear Nancy, Once again, you have made my life so much better!!! I have been listening to your CD’s/tapes for many years, regularly, especially at night. Recently my husband had a motorcycle accident and broke both legs. Needless to say, I have been his main caregiver and it has been quite a task. We recently went camping and somehow I injured my eye and have a badly scratched cornea. SO, in addition to assisting my dear husband, I must take good care of myself. My first thought was YOU!!!!

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 gave your Relax-Quick! CD as a gift to each of our professional facilitators at the recent Annual Company Meeting. We then used the CD for an extended relaxation exercise during the meeting. People enjoyed the first exercise so much, that we decided to do the entire Section 2! ‘Rainbow’ and ‘Back-Pack’ were our favorites. One man never made it past the middle of ‘Rainbow,’ and just snored softly through the rest of the exercises! Now that’s relaxation! Our business client lea… Read more

Before my 3 day scan, I was really scared, and I listened to your Healing Affirmations & Harp CD the whole time, and it was so perfect – so beautiful and so soothing.

Thank-you, Nancy, for sharing your healing gifts with us.

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.

The most mature play [of the festival] is “Mind Your Own Abyssness” by Nancy Hopps. Here, surrealistic metaphor becomes actual as a man grapples with powerful emotions. At one point he shouts at his fellow actor to, “Quit f**king with my internal landscape!” Take that Edward Albee.

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.

Keep up the healing work, spreading light and awareness.

I have a lot of patients who’re using your CDs during their chemo treatments. 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!…

I heard your [Relaxation/Affirmation Techniques] tape at a stress-management training offered by the New York City chapter of the MS society. Of six tapes used, I found yours to be the most useful.

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,

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,

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.

One year ago, after 30 years of marriage, I lost my husband to suicide after making the decision to divorce him. I was left with a lot of unresolved guilt and sadness, which had not progressed very far in the healing process, despite months of traditional “talk therapy”. My life had become something to be endured rather than enjoyed. I could not shake the guilt or sadness. I began to have neurological symptoms, and the neurologist said that I should seek emotional healing for the symptoms. (Symp… Read more

Reader's DigestHOT PICKS - JULY 2006
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
