“Nicki is a professional celebrant of extraordinary talent, solicitous, caring, unmindful of the time she spends gleaning facts  from muddled mourning minds fixedly focussed on their newly dead dearly beloved, and giving it the kiss of life as she weaves her Rumplestiltskin straw into a golden thread celebration putting that dearly beloved’s life in it’s rightful place, centre stage in it’s onward journey. She can soothe, comfort, seamlessly sew some sunshine faith hope and clarity back into the lives of her listeners, the congregation.” Su Stoodley (Stadhampton)

It was a comfort having her there, feeling supported through that part of the day, it didn’t feel like a stranger, it felt personal and you know she cares.” Marie Joynson (Oxford)
