“Ester Nicholson, wow, I was blown away. As the Oncology Resource Coordinator for Blessing Cancer Center, I attended the afternoon session celebrating Breast Cancer Awareness in October of 2008. I went to this event with some enthusiasm, but little expectation, and then Ester came on stage. She is lovely, down to earth and an amazing artist. She weaved her life story so beautifully and with heartfelt emotion during the hour of her keynote and performance. Looking around the audience, it was very apparent that they were as captivated as I was. I highly recommend her as a motivational speaker and artist for your event.” - Cheryl Hintz, RN BSN OCN Oncology Resource Coordinator Blessing Hospital, Quincy, IL

Ester was extremely easy to work with in preparing for the event and made it a priority to make sure that her message was one that would resonate with the audience to whom she was speaking. Her beautiful voice and heartfelt message through her song was a wonderful gift to those in attendance and a rare addition that most event goers donʼt expect.” - Ann Buchanan, President/CEO United Way of Nashville, TN

"In the summer of 2009, Ester Nicholson, was our featured guest performing artist at the Jaywalker Lodge annual, Fourth of July Celebration. Ester was terrific as a workshop leader, performer and inspirational speaker. Clients at our treatment center who are now alumni living in the community often remind me of the morning talk where she shared her experience, strength and hope with clients struggling with addiction issues. Ester Nicholson is spiritual authenticity. Those who have met her, to a person, comment on her honesty and the all-embracing love she carries with her for the world and others. We cannot wait until she returns to grace our community with her presence again." - Kim Nuzzo Director, Solutions Program Jaywalker Lodge Carbondale, Colorado

Esterʼs message and performance fulfilled our expectations and more. She did a beautiful job of combining stories of her personal journey with songs of hope and healing. She literally had the crowd on its feet as she concluded her performance." - Jude White, Executive Director Renewal House, Nashville, TN

"The first time I heard Ester Nicholson sing, I cried like a baby. The term Angelic is thrown around so easily, but when it comes to Ester, she truly does have the voice of an angel. This new CD of hers is so much fun to listen to, and has a healing quality rarely found in today's music. I'm also thrilled that she recorded a song I wrote called "What Would Love Do Now". I recommend this beautiful CD to anyone who loves good, soulful music and a powerful, moving vocalist combined." - Brenda Russell, Grammy Nominated Recording Artist & Songwriter
