  • “Katie Thomas has the energy like no other. Runs her own business, teaches at university and does her own courses too. She helped improved my skills, believing I’d just use for myself and here we are dipping my toes further into the interior world. As the analogy goes, ‘A rising tide lifting all boats.’ A great inspiration for young women and one of those rare people you come across with a wonderful aura and energy.”
