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

Nancy Hopps is the perfect relaxation voice to lead you into what could be the best moments of your day. Nancy’s clear, comforting voice teaches how to relax through a variety of breathing, sensory, and imagery techniques, with positive affirmations. The music sets just the right tone to zone into relaxation mode.
NAPRA ReView
Although, as a health educator, I’ve been familiar with relaxation techniques, you added some refinements to my skills – particularly in the way you incorporate imagery. You impress me as having mastery of the material.
John HealyHealth Ed. Dept.Linn Benton Community College
The day I first heard one of your CDs was a revelation for me. I was well into the world of cancer, surgeries, and treatments, but still my favorite CD is Cancer: Embracing the Healing Journey. I now have seven of your CDs and have been in your loving, healing radiance for the past two months. You have become my special angel, and for that – and so much more – I am grateful. Pain has been my constant companion, so your Pain: Softening the Sensations has guided me along the way. I constantly us… Read more

Nancy is doing some incredibly powerful work with tonal vibrations elicited from a series of beauteous bowls which carried me to depths I had only experienced previously through sweat lodge ceremonies, of times spent with the rock elders. This is not work for anyone with preconceptions formed from other healing practices. As for the vocals that were present…some of the “rawness” that came out helped break down blocks and holds within me. Like claws strong enough to score stone. Those moments of … Read more

The healing hands, voice and other amazing offerings by Nancy Hopps are something I hope you get to experience in your lifetime. Whether it be through her Relax Into Healing CDs (in my case, the one for before, during and after Surgery), or at one of her crystal singing bowls events, or through massage and sound healing work at her beautiful Healing Sanctuary, you, like me, will be better for it. I have experienced all of the above and my body, mind and spirit have benefited in a way that I can … Read more

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.

I have been enjoying my “Go to sleep!” CD. I love both CD Resource Kits, allowing each of us, your students, to feel that personal side of you. I have learned to come into the program at different cuts for personalized effects. You do good work! Thank you. P.S. My friend (an RN) is getting good results with your healing CD (Relax Into Healing: Finding the Peaceful Place Within) as well, following her heart surgery.

…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!
Fred Crafts
I was talking to a friend last week, and she started raving about your crystal bowls event, that she thought I’d enjoy. She told me that it took her to a wonderful, spiritual altered state. Three days later, when we talked, she was still enjoying the spiritual high. Even cancelled a counseling session, because she was feeling so gooood.
Linda S.Eugene, OR
Nancy Hopps brings a heartfelt, soothing quality to her teaching and audio guidance. Her intention is clear and she stands on the power of her experience. Anyone who listens and applies these teachings will come closer to inner peace and healing, the gifts we all desire and deserve.

Your CDs are absolutely incredible! They are such a blessing to me. I just can’t say enough about them. They’re just so important for people to have! 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.

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 OncologistWillamette Valley Cancer Care Center
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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Her feminine, loving, warmhearted personality is a gift to this world.

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
