Fantastic Results!! 7/6/2010

I am so thrilled with the results I've had since beginning work with Nancy. I initially went to see her to deal with a fear of flying but in the process she was also able to relieve several other issues I had been dealing with as well. In one session my 10 years of jaw tension was completely absolved! I had been spending tons of money and hours going to acupuncturists and Nancy truly was able to relieve it almost instantly. I recently took my first flight since meeting her and was thrilled with how much more at ease I was during turbulence and take-off. I truly can't believe the pace and quality of results I've seen after each one of our sessions. I would recommend Nancy and her method to anyone who is looking for an relief of issues, especially those that have been unsolvable elsewhere. more

Best deal in town! 7/5/2010

If you want to get rid of anything from fears to smoking to whatever else, I highly recommend Nancy Donenfeld. She certainly taught me some amazing techniques to use and I was never so relaxed as during our session. I went to her because I was so claustrophobic before, everywhere. Before, for example, I absolutely could not ride in an elevator. Now I can thanks to Nancy. I had almost given up and moved. The recording she made me helped to reinforce everything she said, and it all took only one session! She is phenomenal and her style is unlike any other I?ve tried. I?ve been dealing with this problem for so many years now and I tried practiclly everything else. This is the only thing that worked and it worked great. Now, being in an enclosed space just doesn?t bother me at all anymore. Nancy was a lifesaver for me, as you can imagine, living in NYC. I can see how this system would work for about everything when she orients it specifically to you and your situation. more

Amazed! 6/29/2010

I have had Vertigo for 10 years and have been desperate to find a solution. It has been almost impossible to get out of bed in the morning for work on some days. I felt as if every object around me was moving and spinning. My doctor prescribed Meclizine and I have been taking it for 4 1/2 years. It's been working less and less well. I found out about Nancy through a friend of mine and made an appointment with her the following week. I was a bit skeptical about Hypnosis but after finding out about Nancy's method and how she helped my friend so easily to quit smoking, I was determined to give it a try. I am truly amazed! So far it has been phenomenal! I'm off the Meclizine entirely and haven't had a single episode of dizziness. Her technique turned my life around and it only took 3 sessions. I can actually get out of bed now without feeling as if I'm pulled toward the floor. I'm sure it's because of Nancy's method. This is a must try!! I'm a testament to her successfulness. She's so wise!! She works so fast!! more

Results were substantial and significant! 6/27/2010

I concur with the sentiment in all of the other reviews I've read about Nancy. I too had the same great results. Our session was the most interesting, one of the best, most advantageous hours I've spent in a very long time. I would recommend her to anyone. My life is definitely changed for the better. Go! I know you'll be glad you did. more

Amazing Woman! Amazing Changes! 5/25/2010

Nancy is the best! She's warm and professional. I felt comfortable right away. Her attitude is positive and she gets right down to the heart of the matter immediately. After being hypnotized the first time, I noticed I had a ton of energy and that has lasted! Ever since our first meeting, my attitude is positive and I feel like anything is possible. I feel so lucky to have found her. If you have any hesitation about trying hypnotherapy put your fears aside, call Nancy, and get ready for some amazing changes! more

Nancy was a Godsend for me 5/7/2010

Since I went to see Nancy Donenfeld, I've so far lost 36 of the 40 pounds I plan to lose, and it amazingly, easily, and naturally just seemed to drop off. I'm not eating between meals anymore and I'm also eating much less at each meal than I used to. I'm also into exercising now, something I was never into doing. Because of my work with Nancy, this has become my natural normal style. I definitely had some really big breakthroughs with this wise, teacher/magician. Now my thinking about food, my body and so on, is different and I know I'll never go back to the way I used to be, not even close. I know how to be thin and am loving the process and the results. Nancy was a Godsend for me. more

She's the Best!! 5/2/2010

Nancy's the Best (and also the most cost effective)! My work with her has been so effective. She made so much sense and worked so fast. I'm now exercising 3 times per week - happily and I'm also not afraid of heights anymore (I'm totally in awe!). My eating habits seemed to have shifted, and I find myself never ravenous, or feeling like I'm depriving myself anymore. I'm actually losing weight easily now, since I saw Nancy for only 3 sessions, and I can't imagine ever putting the weight back on. I'm so happy I went to see her. It was a great deal and easily worth every penny. I have tried "everything" to lose weight before I went to see this kind, insightful woman. Before her, I had seen another hypnotist and a nutritionist, and I had taken various supplements and drugs for weight loss, tried special foods, and did lots of dieting and struggling. Now I feel no more of the former struggle to lose weight as I felt before seeing Nancy. Also, now I can go into any bldg., and onto any floor and feel perfectly fine about the height. I just wish I would have seen Nancy years ago. If I had, I could have saved myself a lot of stress, control, failure and money. She's definitely the best. I'm so happy! Pros: Cost Saving, Long lasting, Timely more

Don't know how she does it 3/6/2010

I have been trying to lose weight pretty much most of my life but with no success, or with some success and then soon find out that I'm back in the same place. I saw Nancy and I am beginning to lose weight and have not been going back to my original weight which seems minor to some, but for someone who has been stuck for 15 years, this is amazing. It's really peculiar how she was able to get me to do this. I've noticed that before I saw Nancy, I used to have a food addiction that was hard to control. Even if I did try to control it, it would backfire on me some way or another. After seeing Nancy, I've noticed that I can stay away from foods that are not good for me much easier than before and can actually stop eating when I'm full as opposed to finishing the plate just for the sake of finishing the plate. Perhaps I've been able to be more aware of my body and what my stomach feels like or maybe she was able to change subconscious thoughts that were once engrained in my mind. It seems like magic even though she claims that it's not. Whatever it is, what she did worked very very well. If you want to lose weight, even if you're just beginning or you've been doing it for a long time, I doubt you will be disatissfied if you went to see Nancy. It isn't just about the weight now, it's also about a change in attitude and perspective where certain compulsions involving food is gone and cravings have been diminished for fatty foods and enhanced for healthy and less fatty foods. I feel like I am more in control with myself so I suggest her to anyone who is not happy with any sort of addiction or compulsion they may have. Pros: It works! Cons: It's not cheap more

I quit smoking with Nancy - best hour I have ever spent! 7/27/2009

Now it seems as though I should have more stress than ever before, but I feel it isn?t nearly as bad. I'm handling it SO much more easily now-definitly manageable. I totally know I'll never go back to smoking. I don't have any need to smoke at all! It evaporated, like magic! I'm having big money problems, but I'm doing what I can do now and the whole thing seems different. I was so stressed out before I saw Nancy that I didn't think I could stop smoking. My friend made an appointment with Nancy to stop smoking and it seemed so easy for him. I figured if he could stop smoking with her, I could too. Smoking was costing me way too much money, and I just didn?t have the wind to play basketball like I used to anymore. Well, I was in such a state twhen I saw her that the next day, after I left her office, she called me to support me and to follow up because I asker her to. I never had a doctor do that before! Now, because of Nancy, I?m so much more positive, and I can deal with each thing in a much more positive and present way. My days now, are like interesting opportunities, and I?m absolutely a non smoker?. See this lady, I know you?ll be really glad you did! more

The Donenfeld Method transformed my life as well as my body. 7/22/2009

The couple of sessions I had with Nancy Donenfeld, as well as the recordings she personally made for me that I could use for reinforcement if I wanted, have transformed my life as well as my body. Now that I have lost the 30 lbs, I?m back to my real self again, but a much more confident, happy and content self than I can ever remember being before I went to Nancy. My husband is amazed too about how happy I seemed and how easy it seemed to be to lose, while I was losing the weight and now how easy it seems to remain thin. I truly owe this to Nancy?s insight and the way she presented it and to what we did and how we did it in hypnosis though she prefers to call what she does, the Donenfeld Method. I do have to agree, it was like nothing I have ever read about or experienced before, and I?ve been around this type of area (New Age, alternative and complementary medicine, psychotherapy meditation...) for a good many years. more

I can't thank Nancy enough. 6/27/2009

I don't know about anyone else, but all I can say is that I'm a non smoker and I don't even try to figure out how Nancy did this to me. I now see why the below reviews I've read about Nancy from other patients with smoking problems sound so enthusiastic and thankful. It worked for me too-immediately. I've never even wanted one since I walked out of her office. Pros: Immediate, Remarkably easy, Natural Cons: No drawbacks, loved her style. more

Thank you Nancy Donenfeld 3/15/2009

I want to deeply thank you for sharing with me your style and technique. You?re a really caring and wise teacher. From speaking on the telephone just 2 times, I find myself cleaning everyday and organizing everything just as we talked about. My life is so much more organized now and I am so much more relaxed. I even find myself having the time now and inclination to finish my dissertation. I?m amazed at how easily I study now and focus. Thank you so much. I don?t think I could have gotten to this place without you., certainly not nearly as quickly-maybe never-my dissertation notes have been sitting here, unfinished for 2 years! Pros: Wise, relaxing, inspirational, caring Cons: None more

WOW! She's a miracle-worker 11/28/2008

I have worked with quite a few therapists during my residency and college years, but never did I come across anyone as amazing and gentle as Nancy Donenfeld. The results are immense and incredible. I went to see Nancy just 3 weeks ago, upon a friend's recommendation, for insomnia and anxiety because of all the stress I was having in school and in my private life. I couldn't really concentrate, my memory was terrible, and I couldn't sleep properly. I felt noone could help me including my own doctors. As a result of the Klonopin and other medications prescribed by my own doctor, I was unable to focus during my waking hours and I was gaining weight. After just 4 sessions with Nancy, I'm sleeping like a baby, I'm eating much better and more consciously now, my energy levels have shot up dramatically and my skin even looks noticeably better too. We've worked on all kinds of things. I'm really amazed at how fast Nancy works. The world needs more people like Nancy. She is a true healer - I highly recommend her! Pros: Miraculous, patient, extremely positive, results are immense, worth every penny more

Nancy works wonders... 11/12/2008

I became a non-smoker about 2 1/2 months ago thanks to Nancy Donenfeld. Six years ago after opening up my own business in Jersey, I began smoking about 2 packs of cigarettes a day. It became so bad, my husband and kids said I either quit soon or they can't live with me anymore. After just two sessions with Nancy, I quit smoking and it has been almost 3 months since I've had my last cigarette. I lost a remarkable amount of weight, over 20 lbs and overall have never ever felt this healthy before! Just two sessions with Nancy and I've regained lost health and vitality...thank you thank you thank you! Pros: Super fast, effective, willing more

God bless this woman! I quit smoking forever! Thank you Nancy!! 11/7/2008

My name is Adriana and I heard about Nancy Donenfeld through someone at work. All I have to say is that this woman changed my life completely. I smoked ever since I was 18 years old - before I moved here from Europe, and I was desperat to find a way to quit soon. I tried everything!!!!! My friend pushed me to go because she had been smoking for over 10 years too and Nancy help her quit after one appointment and seeing how stressed my life was, she wanted me to go see Nancy. She told me she would personally take me because she knew she would help me quit for good. Well that's exactly what happened. After 1 hour with Nancy, I quit smoking!! I sit here writing this to the world and I still can not believe that I have been smoke free for 6 months now and will be forever and ever. I don't even like the smell of it anymore. It makes me sick!! After 20 years I quit smoking for good. The most amazing thing is that it only took 1 hour with her. Nancy you are amazing woman!! Thank you so much!! You gave me my health back!!! I can not thank you enoughh! GOD BLESS YOU! If you want to quit smoking, you will quit if you go to Miss Donenfeld...so go!!!! Pros: INSPIRING, FAST, MONEY SAVING, WONDERFUL WOMAN! You will quit in 1 hour!! Cons: Nothing more

Nancy Donenfeld is one of the few most respected therapists 11/4/2008

There are a handful of people out there who wholeheartedly give up their time and self to healing others on the mental and emotional level. I feel that Nancy Donenfeld is one of these few most respected therapists/guides who works effectively (and so rapidly, I was totally amazed!) with patients to heal a wide-range of issues from weight-loss to fears, anxiety, self-confidence building and addiction (to name a few). My experiences with Nancy have helped me in ways I would have never imagined possible. Her great wisdom and skill opens the doorway to deeper experiences of yourself. I really feel everyone could learn from this wonderful, wise, caring woman and I would absolutely, recommend her to you. Pros: Loving, Miracle-worker, Fulfilling, Energetic, Warm-hearted & COST EFFECTIVE!!! Cons: 0 more

You CAN change 10/6/2008

I had a nervous habit of biting the inside of my mouth ever since I was a kid. My dentist told me that if I didn't stop, I could get mouth cancer. Right after that, I saw Nancy's add in a magazine an made an appointment. After the first session of hypnosis, I walked out of her office and have never bitten the inside of my mouth since. If she could do that, I asked myself, "what else can she do?" I had been putting on weight and so went back to have her program my mind to keep me from eating pastries especially during the holiday season. I lost 8 pounds in six weeks. Last year I had a total knee replacement and before the operation, I went to see Nancy once again. This time she made me unconsciously walk with a smooth gate, without a limp while going through the rehabilitation process. My new knee now works better than many of my friends who have had the operation. In fact it is better than when I was a kid. more
