“When I work with Nancy, characters I'm working on spring to life; physicality takes shape; previously unseen possibilities emerge, and I'm challenged and nurtured to go as far as I can.  I leave our work feeling inspired and expanded.  My imagination sings!”

"Talented, smart and so kind"

“Nancy communicates and coaches with sensitivity and intelligence - I leave with confidence and the desire to do more.”

"Nancy has a knack for understanding who you are and what you need as a performer."

“I love how Nancy's coaching and support enables me to shape my own creative process as an actor.”
