    The cherry on the cake

    Dear Kim, thank you for the excellent training that you offer. I was absolutely delighted with your approach to colour psychology and also how easily explained is your colour training. I'm a (ambivert) NFP, love mingling with people but also very happy geeking for hours on my own. What I do at the moment to pay the bills, night shifts with very sick children, proves the second. For me everything is related and complements. The fact that you also do it for the individual and its characteristics and not because of the rules or what is in fashion is the cherry on the cake.

    Find myself analysing everyone

    Hi Kim, Thank you for the great introduction on Colour Analysis. I am finding myself analysing everyone as they walk past me. It’s driving me crazy! I am a Hair Colourist/Makeup Artist so have a great understanding and will be starting this as part of my business. What drapes should I start with? [recommended draping kit] Also i really need one of those turning drape stands. Can you buy them online? [drape stand]

    Enthusiasm and knowledge inspiring

    Thanks so much for the [colour analysis] course last week. I thoroughly enjoyed the time with you. Your enthusiasm and knowledge is inspiring. My brain has been on overload for the last few days. I got the file out this morning and went over the notes. It's starting to slot into place. Whilst watching TV over the weekend it was impossible to not try to guess which season people were! Celebs are rather confusing because they change their hair colour! I would love to do additional training with you. Please keep me informed of future courses. I have to thank you again. Your method of teaching and your flexibility in attitude already has left me feeling so much more confident in my abilities.

    Sincere support and encouragement

    I recently purchased your online course Fabulous Colour and have learned so much after just the first day. I'm gearing up to put myself out there as a color consultant. I'm 50 years old and I'm having a 'do-over' in my life. Your no-nonsense attitude and sincere support are not only encouraging, but also inspiring.

    Most comprehensive program

    Hello there Kim! I have just finished your wonderful Color Analysis in a Box and Tonal Taster training and would like to request my Diploma. I have been immersed in the wonderful world of learning all about your color system and have to say this is by far the best experience abroad that I have ever had and feel very blessed to have you as my teacher! I found it to be the most comprehensive program I could find and the one that makes total sense to me.

    You help in every which way

    Thank you so much, thank you. I am so very glad to have received my Colour Analysis training under your guidance. It’s amazing how you help in every which way. Thank you for giving out real life examples to help me with my doubt. It really explains well that we can’t and should not have any fixed rules in colour analysis unless a colour gives confidence and looks fabulous near the face of a person. And I completely agree that we cannot convince our clients to wear only the colours that appear in the swatch wallet. In fact, I did tell her to go ahead and wear black as it suits her a lot. Thank you so much again, the idea of no fixed rules really helps in clearing my confusion. As you always keep repeating, colour is subjective.

    The queen of colour

    I spoke to Kim for the first time earlier having completed my online training. I'd described my 'call' to friends as a 'test' but it couldn't have been more relaxed. Kim was full of great ideas and advice, I could have carried on talking forever. Thank you Kim. Great to talk to you, the queen of colour!

    Colour psychology in action

    Having just watched the Colour Psychology Course has been helpful to get a bit more from it all, see it [colour psychology] in action and the potential that is there, not only with the quiz, but in various other forms of psychology too as ideas to think about to add in later. I still need to go thru all the resources, so I'm sure I'll get some more direction after that too.

    Square eyed and spaced out

    Just a quickie to say I have the Colour Analysis Explained course and I popped it on to see if it worked and six training sessions later I was square eyed and a bit spaced out. Enjoyable to watch for the footnotes (for me). I also enjoyed Pennie and her being Bright. I bet she felt so much better after that!

    Thank you for all your help so far. I can't tell you how much I'm enjoying colour and each client has been over the moon. They've been telling everyone they know which has lead to more and more clients.  Your idea of the costs has been great - I have already earned back half the [fabulous colour analysis] course fee!  I’ve also booked the Advanced Training which I'm really looking forward to.
