Katie's Biography
Katie Dean is a writer, award-winning artist and energy coach who specialises in supporting people to reconnect to their true self and empowering them to live with self-love, peace and joy. She holds a Bachelor’s, Master’s, and PhD in history, all from Cambridge University.
Katie worked as a Business Strategy Consultant in London before becoming ill and being diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in 2003. Her illness ended that career, and opened the door to starting her own business as a beadwork artist, designer, and tutor. Her beading designs reached the finals and won numerous international competitions. She has published more than thirty beading books.
In 2022, during the final stages of her recovery from illness, Katie pivoted her career once more, training as a Bioenergetic Health Coach and a Colour Therapist whilst studying NLP, life-coaching and trauma therapy. She combined all of these skills to create the Kolorlan System, a Blueprint for Wholeness and Metamorphosis.
Katie lives just outside of London, in the UK, and enjoys walking in nature, watching the Royal Ballet Company, spending time with her family, and indulging in just about anything creative.
