Gatherer of Wild Things

“I found Kate scrolling on Instagram one day. I wasn’t looking for a business coach but I was intrigued by her free course and loved her imagery. Once I met her through a zoom call and heard her advice I knew instantly that I needed her and her wealth of experience to help me build my brand.

Kate and I worked alongside each other fortnightly to design my logo, branding, colour palette and website. She also photographed my whole jewellery collection, now featured on my website www.firedrose.co.uk

She was invaluable in turning my business dreams into reality and from ideas on paper into a running business!

Kate is a total delight to work with. She pushed me to achieve goals within realistic deadlines and always believed in me and my vision at times when I doubted myself. She’s caring, knowledgeable, utterly talented and a total pleasure to have shared the early stages of my business with.

I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Kate to anyone who is starting up in business or needs an overhaul of an existing business. ” - Sarah - Fired Rose Jewellery

“I just loved working with Kate – she provided me with outstanding business coaching for my established company, which has elevated my skills and how I run my business, to a new level. Throughout my coaching sessions, I was provided with clear direction, and constructive and amazing support. Kate has a way of knowing where each project needed to be focused and was able to introduce me to countless practices that have moved my business forward hugely.

I was lucky enough to also benefit from new company photography and the creation of a beautiful new website – working with Kate for all aspects, made it seamless and easy. Using her in-depth knowledge of my business and what I was aspiring to achieve, Kate was able to accomplish amazing results.

I wholeheartedly recommend Kate to any creative business that values being on top of projects and is looking for a highly competent business coach and/or web designer with a caring and calm approach.” - Cath - Emerald Frames & Gallery

“After a few years of trying to make money with my website I decided I needed help to put some good foundations in place. I had been following Kate on Instagram and loved her style and calm approach to life. Since starting coaching with Kate my site has gone from strength to strength and in just 6 months my email list has increased by 82%, I have three products launched and a fourth almost ready. I now have a clear pathway and focus which is achievable.

Prior to starting with Kate I had no goals or structure but through the ambitious goal setting Kate has encouraged me to complete I have seen the potential that I have. Kate works in a calm and friendly way where nothing is too much trouble or too stupid to ask and is the perfect coach for someone who wants to work without a constant hustle. ” - Suzanne, Meandering Wild

“What a wild and wonderful ride my time with Kate has been. She has helped me move my business forward, taught me things I did’t know existed and has set me on a productive path that feels exciting, sustainable and absolutely right for me. When I first met Kate I was at a crossroads, I move forward on my own or I invest in myself and move forward with confidence. I’m so pleased to say I chose to move forward with Kate. She’s helped me put practical systems in place to nurture my business, work with purpose and give me the all important time and space to do the thing I love, paint. Kate’s strategies have elevated my business and as long as you put in the time and dedication, that working with a coach deserves, I whole-heartedly recommend working with her. Her gentle approach, strong principles and friendly manner are a winning combination and I’ve left every session boosted with positive advice. The thing I love most is that even though we’ve reach a natural conclusion to our work together I know Kate will be there for me as my business continues to grow and develop.

You are a true wild heart Kate and my life and business are richer for knowing you.” - Ali, Ali Mackie Art

“I would absolutely recommend working with Kate. Her insight, support and encouragement have been instrumental in the creation and continued growth of my brand. Not only is she a skilled technician, she has also been sensitive to my relationship with my creativity and how that feeds into my business. She also understands a love of the countryside, which shines through in her photography which so captures some of those magic moments, especially the muddy dog walks!. I am extremely happy with my website and just want to show it to everyone! I also couldn't be more pleased with my brand images. I feel they have really captured the essence of my work, my approach and relationship to my landscape. They have enabled me to really move my business to the next level in terms of styling and promotional material. I also feel confident that my imagery now really represents me, my style and my passion for my work. Kate's style has a gorgeous nod to the romantic whilst still being able to capture our modern country lives. She has a deep understanding of our relationship to landscape and the role that plays in our creativity and ultimately our businesses. Her approach is gentle, supportive and good-humored which really helped me relax and be myself in the photoshoot. We were able to create some wonderful and fun images which perfectly capture my style and resonate with my approach to my life and work.” - Tara Macdonald, Botanical Dyer

“I was at the stage of having a dream, but no clue how to get started. Kate share's her extensive knowledge and experience so openly and warmly. Even though I am a complete beginner she always encouraged and supported me. She challenged me, but never overwhelmed me. I have certainly made much more progress in our time together than I ever expected. It has opened a world of opportunities for me and I really look forward to working with her again in future. Kate helped me launch my business on Instagram and now I am working on a website. She has helped me find my personal style and improve my photography skills. Kate's approach is open, honest, kind and supportive. I felt as though I was working with a friend I had known for years. She helped me by coaching rather than directing, supporting and challenging but always making sure I was comfortable. She went at my pace, which was really important for me, as a beginner. Kate is an absolute gem. True, honest, trustworthy and kind. She is happy to share mountains of knowledge, skills and ideas and really puts you and your business first. I recommend her completely.” - Diane B, Butterfly Road

“Over the last six months I've worked with Kate on various aspects of my business. First of all we worked on rebranding my existing business Judith Brown Jewellery and creating another brand to work alongside this for the bridal side of my work. Secondly Kate was my mentor and coach for setting up the new Judith Brown Bridal side of my business. We covered lots of aspects from planning the launch of the business and what that entailed from new photography, a new website and then onto a marketing plan covering social media and more. Kate is very knowledgeable and professional as well as being lovely to work with.” - Judith Brown Jewellery & Bridal
