Dr. Nancy Irwin transformed herself from an entertainer to a healer.
Originally from Atlanta, Dr. Nancy Irwin was trained as an opera singer.
She received her bachelor's and master's degrees in opera performance from West Georgia
University and Georgia State University, respectively. In 1985, Irwin moved to New York City
to pursue a career as a singer and actress, but ended up with a career as a stand-up comedian.
She moved to Los Angeles in 1994 when she heard Hollywood was looking for more blondes . . .
As a comic, she only worked about 30 minutes a day, and soon took up
volunteer work in the community to give back. Nancy had an epiphany while working with the
sexually-abused adolescents at Children of the Night. This prompted her to leave the world of
entertainment and pursue a doctorate in psychology.
Dr. Irwin currently is in private practice as a therapeutic hypnotist with
offices in West Los Angeles and Tarzana, Calif., where she enjoys working with adults,
adolescents and children. She treats more than 100 issues, but it is her mission to heal the
sexually abused, as well as abusers. A popular public speaker, she is available for corporate
seminars, keynote speeches, and workshops on a variety of topics, and remains a dedicated
volunteer for Children of the Night, as well as for Planned Parenthood.
She is a member of the California Psychological Association, the American Hypnosis Association, the American Academy for Experts in Traumatic Stress, and serves on the Education Committee for the California Coalition for Sexual Offending.
