Nancy is so kind, professional, and she has made a world of difference in my day to day life! I am thrilled at how successful and easy this change has been for me. Everything has changed for the better, and from only one hypnosis treatment! It's been three weeks since my hypnosis appointment with Nancy, and I continue to just feel great! If you're stuck and needing help, I highly recommend Nancy! Plus, she's now in beautiful Newport, OR, which is a pretty drive from Portland. I drove to my appointment from Lake Oswego just for the day, but you can always spend the night, or weekend, and enjoy all that Newport has to offer! I am so very grateful to Nancy! read more

Nancy's calm voice and great listening skills make the guided relaxation experience effective and easy! She helped both my husband and me have more tools to manage our sleep and anxiety issues. And the visit to Newport was fun, too. read more

I am so happy that I found Nancy at A Balanced Life Hypnotherapy in Newport! She took so much time listening to me, and taking the most thorough "history" I have ever experienced. The issue I deal with (dysphagia, which is trouble swallowing) was not one she had worked a lot with before; she did a lot of research, which I was very impressed with. I also have had anxiety and panic attacks for years; the anxiety definitely exacerbates the dysphagia. I really like her approach in that she personalized the hypnotherapy session, so that it contains details that are specific to me and my personal situation. I was very impressed with her kindness, empathy, and professionalism -- not to mention her not being "money hungry." By providing a CD and USB drive of the hypnosis session, I can do the sessions at home. It has not been very long, and I'm already noticing positive results. I highly recommend Nancy! read more

One of the worst things about chronic anxiety is the feeling that no one understands what you are going through, not even your doctor. A short conversation with Nancy and I finally felt understood. More than that, I knew that she cared about me and about helping me get better. One hypnotherapy session and I am feeling better than I have in years. And now I have the tools to continue to improve on my own. I even have a recording of our session so I can listen to it as often as I like. I highly recommend Nancy Wheeler. She has helped me and will help you. read more

I waited a little over a month before giving my review just so I can give a thorough one.. as these things could take time.. here it goes! I can't say enough positive things about Nancy.. I have been contemplating hypnosis for a long time. While traditional therapy is very helpful (as long as you find the perfect match), this type of therapy digs so much deeper, it digs into a place you can't reach in your waking life.. One of my struggles is sugar dependency, in the past year (2022) I have gained a significant amount of weight, which has caused me to feel dissatisfied and sluggish.. knowing that I can lose weight and go back to my ideal weight, (I've done that before), I knew it was time to tackle the root of the issue.. so that's when I found Nancy. We first connected over the phone (she was kind, patient and listened attentively), after that (and because Nancy's practice is at the coast and I live in Portland) we had our first session over the phone, it was mainly us talking about what I'm looking for in my weight loss journey and her giving me helpful information that is tailored to my needs. It was great, right after we hung up I immediately had a shift (later on she told me I was probably in hypnosis without realizing it). We met in person the following week for my in-person hypnotherapy session. It was so relaxing and soothing.. The session was recorded and given to me so I may listen to it on a daily basis for a month.. I was able to upload the recording to my cellphone so I have it handy. I did this religiously every day. It sounds like I'm exaggerating but believe me when I tell you that I no longer have these obsessive cravings (from the day of our phone session!), I do enjoy a little bit of sweets but do NOT obsess over that or think about it like I used to. Dessert was more important to me than an actual meal... I'm sure there are lots of people out there that can relate to that. This has been a 100% success story. All I can say is thank you, Nancy for your gift! You have been a blessing and I do hope this review helps others in their healing journey.. If you had any doubts about pursuing hypnotherapy to cure an issue that you've been struggling with for a long or short time, I would highly recommend connecting with Nancy. Even if you don't live at the coast it's worth the trip up there, plus you get to enjoy the beauty of the ocean! read more

Since I have been seeing Dr Wheeler I feel more in control of my emotions, of my drinking habits and my life in general. She uses hypnotherapy to help the patient with any sort of issue one can have. I think the combination of hypnosis and therapeutic interventional techniques during her sessions. She is a great listener and really seems to care about the patient emerging from her sessions having positive change in their life! I myself have experienced positive change after the first session. I recommend her therapy for anyone wanting and ready for a change in their life, their career or their relationships. Only you can take the first step and Dr Nancy can help you start! Don't hesitate or procrastinate any longer. No excuses! Just give her a call and see for yourself the results you can get! Thank you Dr Wheeler and I'll be seeing you soon!! read more

Nancy B Wheeler Hypnosis - On the right Bridge to Success!!! - Counseling & Mental Health Near Me - Lake Oswego, Oregon

I went to Nancy to access a deeper part of my self, and to digest positive affirmations concerning my blood sugar and food choices. I am sensitive to suggestions and a visual learner. Nancy was very careful to choose wording and visualizations that worked for me. I felt safe and cared for by Nancy. She accessed my subconscious in a beautiful and loving way. I highly recommend her for setting an intention and getting clear, remembering that the patient is the one who must do the work ultimately. Nancy has also been there for me since our meeting to support me in clarification. read more

Amazing experience with Nancy who is so knowledgeable, kind and professional. She listens well and has many suggestions for your journey to succeed in the area you need help with. I cannot recommend her enough. She really cares!!! read more

My 13 year old son had not only been struggling with his confidence with his competitive sports, but also seemed to not be having fun playing anymore. Since he insisted he still wanted to play, I reached out to Nancy to see if she could help. After the first phone conversation, he was already speaking more positively about his sports experiences and not being as hard on himself. The 2nd phone conversation pushed him to continue to change his self talk and everyone, both coaches and us parents, were noticing the kid who believed in himself and had fun playing sports was on his way back. We made the trip to the beach for the hypnosis and it was wonderful to meet Nancy in person. Such a kind woman who had this ability to put my son at ease so he had no problem sharing and being honest with her during their sessions. The hypnosis session went great (he loved having Nancy's dog Tasha keep him company during the process) AND we got to enjoy a little overnight getaway to the coast! I would highly recommend Nancy for whatever personal challenges you may be going through. It has been amazing to see how she has helped my son. read more

I grew up with a belief that hypnosis isn't a credible intervention for solving issues so it was risky for me to initiate working with Nancy as a hypnotist. I checked out Nancy's background and saw her education (Yale), experience (in medicine), and leadership in the hypnosis community (board president) was impressive. Then I met Nancy in-person and was even more impressed. I have incredibly high standards for those I hire and she exceeded all of my expectations. She is fantastically astute and insightful. She helped me make some shifts that I wasn't able to do on my own. She is extraordinarily giving with her time, considering what she charges. Outside of our sessions, Nancy emailed me her advice and also reviewed my issues so she had additional insights the next time I saw her. I would recommend hiring her without hesitation. read more

I went to Nancy many years ago for fear of shots and blood tests. I had been always very upset and crying while waiting for a blood test. and would not go in alone. I decided I did not want to live all my life feeling so out of control. Lucky me a friend said she thought I might try hypnosis; Lucky me she recommended Nancy. I went to a number of sessions worked with my tape recording and tools : and voila I don't cry at all. I can go by myself with no one holding my arm down ! I recommend trying her help, you have only your problems to lose. One of my best choices. read more

My daughter was having severe issues at school, failing most of her classes. After only 2 sessions with Nancy, she made HUGE improvements. The behavior change after seeing Nancy made it evident there were some underlying issues that once dealt with, allowed my daughter to finally have success! In only 6 weeks, she turned everything around, she ended the school year with all A's and 1 B! She is in 7th grade. read more

Nancy helped my daughter with her confidence and fear of medical procedures. I highly recommend her if you are looking to make a positive change in your life. read more

Nancy is a very warm, friendly professional who takes her time to know you and your desired outcomes. She explains everything in great detail so you know exactly what to expect. I saw Nancy twice and was very happy with the results. The tough part is that you must continue to follow her suggestions and process on your own after you leave the meeting with Nancy. It is worth a trip to the coast to see her or combine a business trip with a visit to Nancy. I highly recommend Nancy. read more

Nancy was so wonderful. I connected with her off the bat, she is so easy to be around. The sessions went very well and I have been listening to my CD for the last week and a half and already feel lighter. I am making better decisions without even thinking about it or battling with myself over what to eat. I highly recommend her to anyone who has been thinking about hypnosis. read more

I came to Nancy for help and hope. My physician recommended hypnosis for help in losing weight. I felt comfortable and relaxed talking with Nancy. She is professional and thorough in her explanation of her process. Since my hypnosis I feel in control and confident. Than you Nancy! read more

Nancy Wheeler is a caring and insightful individual. I researched different hypnotherapists to go to in the Portland area and chose her for several reasons: she had great reviews, she was a woman (I prefer women for certain things) and highly educated in her field. In our first phone call, she correctly guessed that I was calling her for help with weight loss. I have tried many fad diets and various things to lose weight and they would work for a while but ultimately would not work. After my first session with Nancy, I lost 10 pounds (in less than 3 weeks) and received a CD to listen to as much as I want to, to help me continue my journey. I have much more weight to lose before I start feeling like myself again, but I am on the right path. I know that the weight will come off and be gone forever. I highly recommend her for whatever your needs are: weight loss, smoking cessation, help with business (and removing mental blocks). I thought about doing this for years (hypnosis for weight loss) because I heard about it working for other people I know and am SO GLAD that I chose Nancy Wheeler! Highly recommended. A+++ read more

I had seen Nancy recently for various challenges that I am facing. She is very detailed oriented and very supportive in listening to her patients and very eager to help the individual as much as possible. She is very knowledgeable about different areas of life and shares her advice and communicates in a very positive manner. I felt she is affordable because I did my research to find others including Positive changes which I will not recommend. I am so grateful and glad to be under Nancy's care! I hope you find what you are looking for in Nancy's treatments. read more

Nancy was great ! Got right to the heart of my problems and helped me loss the weight I wanted and keep it off . I've never felt better about anything. Should of done this a long time ago read more

I saw Nancy recently for help with weight loss. My results are amazing. I tried several other methods, books, diets, etc. before seeing Nancy. I have been losing easily and steadily. I no longer struggle with cravings, emotional eating, etc. She is a miracle worker! Nancy is professional, thorough, caring and extremely helpful. She truly cares and it makes a difference. I think she is awesome and I would highly recommend her! The best money I have spent and worth every single penny! read more

A little over 10 years ago my sister sent me to Nancy, to get me to quit smoking cigarettes. I was a truck driver and smoking a little over two and a half to three packs of Marlboro Reds a day. I did not want to quit, I wanted everyone to quit bugging me about quitting and I didn't really think this would work. I have had exactly two puffs one from a cigarette, and and one from a vape machine and I have been tobacco-free ever since. This absolutely it's on Nancy's ability to tap into whatever in me wants to live and not my conscious desire to. I would recommend her for anything you think you need to address. She is absolutely the real deal. read more

I went to see Nancy to get help with ongoing anxiety issues. She was very welcoming and made me feel comfortable from the very first visit. She gave me several different exercises to try at home between our initial visit and our second visit (which included the hypnosis) and I really felt like my anxiety had decreased compared to before my visit. My anxiety attacks decreased from the exercises she'd given me, which was something I wasn't expecting (but it was very welcome). The hypnotherapy session was great and I could feel the effects almost immediately. I appreciate that Nancy gives you a CD of your session so that you can continue to work on your therapy so that it really sinks in. I appreciate that she made me feel so at ease with the process. I would highly recommend her! read more

Hi Nancy, Sorry this has taken me so long to write. I just wanted to thank you for your help sorting out the Men's issues I've been suffering from for the past few years. It's been a few weeks now since out last session and I am seeing results. You are very easy to talk to and your skills are a true gift. You have helped me a great deal with these sensitive issues. I am very grateful your time and encouragement. I am a true believer in hypnotherapy. Thank you so much. CW read more

I was greatly disappointed by Nancy Wheeler. First, her rates are by the hour and she ran over the hour and charged me for a second hour without prior consent. Second, she didn't hypnotize me. She talked about her ex-husband and other trauma. I could get a therapist if I wanted one. Third, she called me the day before my second appointment, told me that I wasn't ready to hold the appointment, and then proceeded to complain that I hadn't called her earlier. I had been ready to attend the appointment and give her a second chance after the first appointment went so badly, but that was my limit. If she wanted to reschedule, that was all she would have had to say. Don't blame it on the customer. Total failure to meet any of the objectives or expectations. read more

I am in awe of this incredibly talented hypnotherapist. Concerned, committed, thorough, caring and dedicated describes Nancy's approach in dealing with those with problems in a multitude of areas. I first met with Nancy about 13 years ago. At that time I had been a smoker since the age of 12 (I was 50 at the time). I consumed 2+ packs of cigarettes a day. I had tried counseling, group theray, nicotine patches and gum, support groups etc. to no avail. I went to Nancy desperate to try to quit.... In her gentle, non judgemental manner she explored my motivations, my resources, my potential pitfalls and incorporated these and much more into the hypnotherapy. On the way home I could not help but laugh I felt SO good. After all my prior attempts to stop, my friends and family were doubtful Nancy could help. I have not smoked a cigarette or used any tobacco substance since that evening. A few years ago, after suffering a rapid series of painful experiences, including the death of my life partner, I became very depressed and began using alcohol in excess, not eating well or taking care of myself in any way. This resulted in my coming very close to death and ending up in ICU for 15 days, a nursing home for 3 months and in an assisted living institution for 6 months. I was sober for 14 months but eventually slipped back into drinking daily again. This time, I recognized the path I was heading down and went to Nancy to see if she could help. I went to the first session without the hypnosis and was surprised to find that I already felt motivated to quit. I finished off the couple shots I had in the house and tossed the bottle away. I stayed away from alcohol for about 2 weeks, then had a short 2 day relapse which resulted in a horrible hangover and confusion. I went back for the second session which included the hypnosis...and the difference was amazing. I have lost the desire to drink, I am eating well, exercising, socializing and feeling great. You can find less expensive and less experienced hynotists on Groupon etc. or in mass hypnosis sessions in convention centers , and I have known people who have quit smoking for a period of time using these methods...but I know of no one who has refrained from smoking from these sources for more than a year. I do have one friend who has remained free of cigarettes using a less expensive form of hypnosis, but he admits he sometimes, even after years is 'white knuckling' it. A few weeks ago he asked me if I knew the world would end in a few days would I take up smoking and drinking again...he was surprised when I said absolutely not, I would want to enjoy the last days of my life. He on the other hand stated he would definitely smoke and drink. Hypnosis isn't magical...but I suspect Nancy may be. She has been doing this for almost 20 years and it is evident that she continues to enjoy what she does and strives to learn and become even better. I have absolutely no hesitancy in recommending her services to anyone in need of them for smoking, drinking, anxiety, grief, weight control and a multitude of other issues. With Nancy's help, my life has turned so much more positive than I ever would have expected. If you are truly motivated, I have no doubt she can help you also, more easily and effortlessly than you would have ever imagined. read more

Going to see Nancy was one of the best things I have done for myself! She is a very competent and caring person. I trusted her completely at every step of the process. She has filled my mind with nothing but positive thoughts which are resulting in very positive actions. I am glad I went to see her when I did! read more

I went to see Nancy to improve some personal characteristics. Nancy provided me with some great "tools" that I know will help me to improve. I would recommend Nancy to anyone who is looking to change some aspect of their life. read more
