"I find I have little time to think about food, or whether it's healthy or not! I am constantly on the road, going from one gig to another, and despaired of ever getting my eating habits under control. After contacting Nikki, between us we came up with a practical and extremely satisfying menu plan that I knew I could stick to - and no mention of a diet in sight! I would not hesitate to recommend Nikki to anyone - she has certainly helped me!" Maya, March 2007

"I'm getting married in April this year, and like all brides I want to look my best. I felt that I wanted to shed a few pounds, but on previous diets success had eluded me. A friend suggested Nikki Ball, and I went along with some reservations - after all, it's just healthy eating isn't it? I was pleasantly surprised by Nikki's sensible plan of eating well for the rest of my life and astonished that I didn't need to deny myself the things I like. As my wedding draws nearer I can already see the difference, and my fiance can certainly feel it!" JS - Devon
