40lbs lighter thanks to Nancy's system- 3/30/2011

I was such a compulsive eater and no one I went to could help me. I spent my money and energy on weight loss diets, diet plans and a personalized program designed by a dietitian. After reading an article on Nancy Donenfeld, I decided to give hypnosis a shot. I must say, she impressed me (very few people do). She definitely knew how to fight my ?dragons? (the ones who encouraged me that enough is not enough). I am down to 180 pounds from 220. If it weren?t for this woman, I would?ve probably ended up to be 50 pounds heavier, miserable and aggravated. I encourage anyone to see her. I think her system could work with most anything. more

I did it...Nancy's terrific! 3/9/2011

I never thought I could do it. Nancy helped me to stop smoking in one session and I gained no weight from stopping either. I own a designer clothing boutique and must wear and show off the clothes I sell. I also have to be gracious and nice with my customers. Since my session, I also lost 5 pounds which is what I wanted to do and I?m startled to see that now I?m being even more gracious, attentive and patient with people than I was even before I stopped smoking. This session is just what I needed. I feel great. Nancy?s terrific! more

Invaluable experience. 3/7/2011

My 2 sessions with Nancy Donenfeld were 2 of the most important hours of my life. Truly. Nancy certainly led me to the "water" and taught me and enabled me to "drink" it. She taught me about manifestation, attitude, intention. She gave me skill, motivation, desire, "where with all" and knowledge. She actually taught me to be, to remain, and to think of myself as a healthy, thin person. She even got me exercising 4 days a week. I'm now 37lbs lighter then I was prior and it's because of her. I would definitely call my work with Nancy invaluable and hence the cost actually miniscule. more

Lamed-Vovnik 2/16/2011

I truly believe that Nancy Donenfeld is one of the thirty-six Lamed-Vovniks in the world today. I've never been as impressed with anyone I've ever known in my entire life. And nothing Nancy did had anything to do with religiosity. She was completely ecumenical. I feel most honored to have had three sessions with this woman. She deeply affected my life. more

...off the meds thanks to Nancy 2/9/2011

I've been on sleeping pills for over 12 years and I finally decided enough is enough. No CD or anything else I had tried worked at all. ?I desperately wanted to make a change; to put an end to sleep meds and to seek an alternative route instead because I really need to sleep and was afraid to stop. ?I came across a few articles on Nancy and The Donenfeld Method of hypnosis and I decided that, ?this is definitely what I need? (and judging from the articles I?ve read, I felt that she was the person to see). ?I watched her video of lots of segments, tv interviews and listened to an NPR interview she did and these convinced me that I had nothing to fear, that she is honest, deeply cares about people, seems wise and does the sessions herself. ?Sometimes God works in mysterious ways?. It has now been two months since I?ve been off my meds and I feel fantastic.? I sleep way better and I don?t get up every 2 hours anymore like I used to and stress about not being able to go back to sleep.? Nancy?s compassion and positive attitude (and whatever else she did with me) worked a miracle for me.? I highly recommend her! more

Impressive. 2/9/2011

Nancy is nice, nonjudgemental, and sensitive.? She?s helped my mother too.? We are so impressed and so thankful that we found her.? I don?t feel safe with many people.? With Nancy, I felt safe, deeply listened to and fully accepted right from the start and this feeling got stronger and stronger as we spoke.? I feel she was speaking directly with me rather than laying a trip on me about fast food or eating like she does etc, etc. Instead she made a recording specifically for me and my needs.? I wholeheartedly recommend this wonderful woman!? more

Turned my life around for the better. 2/8/2011

The hour I just spent with you was one of the most interesting, important hours I may ever spend. I think you turned my life around for the better and with no struggle. I think I had an epiphany because of you and I can?t thank you enough for your kindness, your awareness and your full support. You?re great! Thank you Nancy!!! more

Amazed Truly 1/26/2011

I went to Nancy unsure of what to expect. I had years of tension built up in my neck and shoulders and had also gotten used to clenching all day all night. I decided to use the money I would have spent on massages on a session with Nancy. The morning after my session with Nancy, I woke up with a loose, relaxed neck and shoulders. I don't know how she did, but it's now been about a month since that session, and I'm still feeling great. I've also stopped clenching my jaw! I can't thank Nancy enough for her help. She is worth every penny. more

It Worked! Fast! 1/25/2011

The two sessions I had with Nancy (one was to quit smoking and the other was to get over my intense horror to speak in front of a group of people) worked! ?Being so afraid of "the unknown", I was totally hesitant about hypnosis, but I decided to give it a shot. In my entire experience with her, from our first phone conversation, I felt good and positive about everything she said. I felt totally safe and in good hands. I'm extremely happy with the results I got. I am living proof that her system is effective! more

Warmest, most genuine, and personable...Nancy is a gem... 1/25/2011

Nancy is one of the warmest and most genuine people I have come across. Right from the moment she picked up the phone she gave me an inordinate amount of her time and energy to answer all of my questions. My friends have been raving about how personable and concerned she is, without being sickeningly sweet or huckstering about the whole thing to get money. This woman really put me at ease and spent a ton of time with me, for free yet! I could tell she cared. That?s the feeling I got from her website too. Her office is beautiful with lots of plants and a lovely little dog. She?s a total nurturer. I?m so glad I met this woman. I'm learning to love myself and be content and confident. Nancy is a gem and she couldn?t have been nicer, more personable and helpful. She certainly helped to restore my faith in people. more

Absolutely most pleasant and positive right from the start 1/24/2011

I honestly don?t understand what this lady (below) is talking about. Before I saw Nancy,I had called a few people and Nancy was definitely the most caring and attentive. I made my appointment to see Nancy two months ago for anxiety. My experience with her could not have been more pleasant and positive. I had absolutely no problem with anything she said or how she said it (neither did anyone I ever recommended to her). Actually, I can?t thank Nancy enough for helping me get through some issues. The sessions we had and the recordings she made for me were OUTSTANDING! I am so much more relaxed, capable, happy and positive... now! Nancy definitely changed my life much for the better, without a doubt. more

Three sessions with Nancy changed my life 1/3/2011

Recently I was having my second child and I literally blew up like a balloon and then I couldn't seem to lose the excess after my son was born. I went on Weight Watchers for quite some time including having an exercise regimen but all I could think about was food and eating and I ate far too much, so that didn?t help either. I ?couldn?t? seem to stop eating and I gained even more weight. Finally I figured that something had to change and I found Nancy. The three sessions we had were amazing. My program was directly specific to me and my specific likes and needs. It was as though she read right into me. She gave me tools and awareness and she shed light into my blind spots. It has now been 6 months since our last session and I?ve lost a total of 23 pounds. Exercise is now a part of my regular routine and I?m not obsessing about food and I?m eating like a thin person ... as she taught me in trance. I feel great and I?m so grateful for all that Nancy has done for me. I deeply, sincerely thank her. more

A nail biter no more! 12/13/2010

So I went to your office as a nail biter for my whole life and I walked out one hour later and never bit them again. I just passed my one year anniversary. I recommend you to everybody. Thank you very very very very very much! more

I'm now a thin, non smoker! 11/25/2010

Even tho I tried to stop so many times, I never seemed to be able to stay away for more than 3 weeks at a time. Each time, stress got the better of me. I smoked 2 packs a day and enjoyed every minute of it, except for the guilt (I have 2 young kids). Smoking was also how I kept my weight down. With Nancy?s help I completely stopped smoking from 1 session and didn?t gain any weight. In fact, with her help I?m losing the 15 pounds I needed to. Since I quit smoking, I've had no cravings to smoke at all (except one when my son broke his front tooth but I got over my old usual smoking and eating response almost immediately with this method.) I can't explain it but I'm now a ?thin, non smoker?. I love it. I also love that I don'r have to keep going back over and over and over again. She?s great. I just wish my husband would go to see her now. more

INCREDIBLE! 10/1/2010

I went in to stop smoking and with pain in my right knee from a torn medial meniscus and left 1 hour later with no pain at all and a non smoker (not an "ex smoker" as Nancy explained). ?I saw her 4 times and neither the smoking, nor the pain has never ever returned. ?My knee hasn't locked up once, and it used to allot. ? I'm totally a non smoker too. ?It's been exactly 1 year so far. ?She addressed everything in a most compassionate way and kept everything in the positive. ?She made no wild claims and seemed like a normal, nice person but the results were amazing. ?I am absolutely thankful and in awe. Incredible. Absolutely incredible! more

Absolutely pleased with the results 9/23/2010

Upon reading so many great reviews about Nancy and her being recommended to me by my best friend, I too saw her and want to sing my praises to her here as well. I concur fully with what everyone is saying. I don't know exactly how she does it but I sure am happy and pleased with the results I got too. And she's nice and the 2 sessions I had with her really taught me a lot. They were really enjoyable, relaxing and packed with insight that I'll always have and use and also, she wasn't scary at all. I thought the whole experience was terrific, cool too! more

COMPASSION AND EXPERTISE 9/21/2010

It must have been my lucky day! I was feeling so down and at a total loss in controlling my binge eating which had obviously contributed to great weight gain. I was truly desperate when a friend recommended hypnotherapy. I fought it and thought there was no way that this would work, but was truly at my wit's end. I had tried quiting smoking years ago with hypnosis only to smoke 5 minutes after the session. However, I had nothing to lose..I'd give it another try. Halfheartedly I looked for and found a hypnotist. After much research I decided that Nancy Donenfeld was my choice...and what a great choice. This woman has changed my life. I put myself in her very capable hands and sure enough no bingeing, losing weight and at peace. Nancy's compassion made me feel instantly at ease. She's simply a lovely person who gained my trust instantly...which is so important in hypnosis. Her expertise is unsurpassed and you know that you're in very capable hands and that "everything will be okay." What can I say? I'm a believer..I'm a follower..I'm sooo very grateful to this woman who is helping me change my life. more

Never could have done it without Nancy's help 9/15/2010

I was going through some really rough times and Nancy helped me so much faster than I could ever imagine.??I absolutely could never have succeeded without her.??She helped me grow and develop into the person I am today.??Her method and the suggestions she used were truly inspirational/insightful. She was empathetic, straightforward and seemed to truly listen.??I?ve learned to make good and honest decisions,??remembering to stay true to myself at all times or as best I can.??One of my biggest challenges that I had to face was learning to stand on my own two feet because my marriage ended just before I went to see Nancy.??Living in New York City alone was definitely a great challenge but with Nancy?s method, insight and support I do these things, and so much more comfortably and easily now.?I can?t thank Nancy enough for all that she?s done for me. I think she and her work are unique. You should try it. Thank you Nancy, thank you, thank you, thank you. more

VERY VERY GLAD MY DOCTOR RECOMENDED I SEE NANCY! 9/8/2010

I was desperate to find a solution to losing some weight quickly. My blood pressure was quite high and my knees and back were hurting by the end of just about every day. My doctor recomended I go see Nancy. Nancy?s method turned my life around. I went from a size 16 to a size 8 in just four months. I feel phenomenal. My energy levels have gone up dramatically and the pains in my knees and back have disappeared. Now, I walk, run, take dancing classes and do so many other activities I never imagined I could do ? like hikeing and kayaking (especially when you?re 67 like me!). Since Nancy, my blood pressure has been normal (I?m completely off those meds). She gave me a recording of the formal hypnosis part of our session and I still listen to it once in a while, especially when I?m particularly stressed (kind of resets my blood pressure levels and keeps me in my being thin mentallity!). I'm very very glad that my doctor recomended I go see Nancy! more

FAST, SIMPLE AND POWERFUL 7/7/2010

I had been smoking two packs of cigarettes a day for about 8 years. I got to a point where I was getting more and more out of breath and my voice was getting raspier. I had stopped many times before and always went back. I had tried all the usual techniques to stop smoking, even saw another hypnotist. Until I saw Nancy, nothing had stayed with me. I saw Nancy on Jan. 14, 2010, walked out of her office and never smoked again. I didn't gain any weight either like I thought I would. I am totally a non-smoker and haven?t had even the slightest urge to pick up another cigarette since that day and I know I never will. This woman and her system are truly remarkable. It?s fast, simple and powerful. more
