My son Eric's ability to focus has improved dramatically since he last saw Nancy in February of 2017 for the third time. Her method helped him to the point where he no longer depends on a tutor for help, primarily in the areas of spelling and reading. She taught him how to hyper focus, to be much more relaxed and to have faith in himself, even in times of distress and he seems to be doing it so much more easily and naturally, incredibly enough. He now takes initiative when it comes to his homework without the need to depend ... read more

Well here's an update to my other review of my therapy/hypnosis with Nancy. I still haven't taken any pain meds and I'm still alive and my cancer is supposedly still in "remission". I did everything my oncologist told me to do except take the pain meds because I didn't need them (I feel because of Nancy) and the pain never returned since her either. My father died 3 weeks ago and let me tell you, I almost had a cigarette again. Nancy stopped me from smoking in 1 session. I went over in my head what Nancy taught me and I didn... read more

I think Nancy is truly one of the lamed vavniks, as someone else wrote about her in another review I read. She is certainly wise, nice, concerned and incredibly good at what she does. I'll never forget my 2 appts. with her. I can honestly say that I have lost 26 lbs. so far since I started seeing Nancy and I know I'm on the right track. I seemed to have deeply picked up what we did and I'm totally amazed at how relatively easy it's been to drop these pounds. I'm exercising too - because of her. I hope I don't regress to my o... read more

I'll never forget how inspired I was even from my very first session with Nancy, with her kindness, caring, professionalism and real wisdom. She's just what "the doctor ordered". Nancy's method is solid and truly special. It just "sticks". I was so stressed out when my cancer doctor told me I probably had only a few more months that I felt entirely hopeless and depressed and I all I could think about was when i could have my next cigarette. The work Nancy did with me worked so amazingly well that I had to share it with you, ... read more

I hit a low lower than I think I ever went. Somehow I came across Nancy's website, it appealed to me - very, straightforward and I called her. I had hardly ever left my apartment after I got home from work and on Saturdays and Sundays as well. Weight loss and weight gain and being overweight was a big part of my identity. With Dr. Donenfeld's kind and wise help and amazing system, so far, I have lost 40lbs in the past 7 months and I still am continuing to make progress. I'm never going back and I owe a tremendous debt of gra... read more

I saw Nancy at a time when my life was in shambles. I was unemployed for over a year and so in debt that I was behind 2 years on my loans and mortgage. It got to a point where I couldn’t afford to live normally anymore, at all. I was stuck in a huge hole. I was alone, I went from smoking 2 packs to 3 packs of cigarettes a day, I had bouts of nervousness - where I couldn’t sit still anymore (I looked like a crazy irritable person) and to top it off I became addicted to sleep meds - it got so bad that my body refused to respon... read more

I got over my fear of driving in just 1 session. I was able to drive out to Pennsylvania this past summer without any anxiety or panic that some car might hit me, as I always had before Nancy. Actually, I got nervous for a moment right at first but it seemed to disappear right away. Before her, I couldn't even picture myself in the passenger seat of a car and I'm now in the driver's seat without even any of that old overwhelming panicky feeling at all! A million thanks to the greatest and most favored hypnotist!

I was diagnosed with depression at the age of 17. The death of a very close friend of mine 5 years ago and stress at my job and my home accelerated my moroseness and depression. Lately I was always feeling tired and depressed. Waking up in the mornings for work was a total nightmare. My psychiatrist prescribed different drugs through the yrs. but none of them worked very well so then I went to Nancy who my psychiatrist advised. Within the first two sessions I saw considerable changes in my mental health and attitude. Her met... read more
