  • "Thank you so much for such a beautiful concert Nancy at Royal Jubilee Hospital Pain Program in Victoria, in honour of National Pain Awareness Week. 30 people gathered and  were delighted at the  strength of the bowls to vibrate their bodies and induce profound sense of relaxation and healing.  Many people said it was the first time that they truly calmed in a relaxation exercise. Your presence was warm and inviting and our audience appreciated your stories of healing  and various directions and journeys the bowls had provided for you." Linda Cundiff, Occupational Therapy, RJH Pain Program​​, Nov. 2015
 
  • "Nancy facilitated a peaceful sound relaxation class for a group of 20+ patients at InspireHealth Victoria. The audience of both cancer patients and their support people deeply appreciated the music and healing environment Nancy created. For an hour she played the singing bowls and sang (as one member described) "beautifully". It was a memorable experience for all, and many people have eagerly asked "when is she coming back!?" Patients described feeling peaceful and deeply relaxed (some even fell fast asleep) after the session. I too enjoyed and appreciated Nancy's "luminous tones". We look forward to having her back again soon." Genevieve Stonebridge, MA,Clinical Counselor, InspireHealth, Victoria, BC, Oct. 2015

  •  "Loved being in the midst of the crystal bowl healing & chanting circle... I 'saw' energy and 'felt' pain being drawn out of my left knee (the knee had recently been 'stiff' and giving me difficulty when going down stairs). The release of pain was simultaneous with a crescendo of bowls and Nancy suddenly bursting into song... At that moment all the etheric energy around me (that had been moving longitudinally along my left side ) was suddenly 'pulled' into an arrow shape toward and above Nancy, thus facilitating the release of pain and blocked chi from my knee. In appreciation". (BH) Victoria

  • “ What a blissful day this has been, spent being pampered in the peaceful haven of the Sound Sanctuary! Nancy shares her vast knowledge and experience in sound healing with her customary warmth, compassion and insight. Her excellent introductory workshop provides a loving, safe space to experience the sublime, other-worldly sounds of the exquisite Alchemy crystal bowls. When Nancy plays the bowls and uses her lovely voice to tone and chant with them, one is transported on one’s own unique healing journey. There was a good balance between the technical aspects and many fun and practical applications of sound healing that had us all laughing. There is plenty of hands-on time to learn how to play the bowls as well. Truly, time spent at the Sound Sanctuary is a life-changing experience; once the bowls have sung to one, one knows that life will change for the better! ” (JDV) Victoria
