Katia is driven by the belief that people deserve to live their life to its fullest potential. Ultimately, her passion is to help her clients reach emotional and spiritual balance, reclaim their identity and have the courage to lead by example. When she couldn’t find a firm that offered a service she was looking for, Katia founded Elyts, which offers unique services ranging from Image Consulting, Interior Design & Feng Shui all the way to Creative Coaching. She is helping people dress smart, live in style and make better decisions. In her non-existent spare time she likes to explore the right side of her brain, which led to the creation of Grabling – an innovative eco jewelry made out of corn. This endeavor is her proudest, most out-of-her-comfort-zone and rewarding work so far. Legend has it that Katia’s body has three hearts: one for her family, one for those in need and one for everything creative. And it’s this last creative piece that we focused on in Katia’s interview. She shares with us how our Creative listeners can stay motivated, be empowered and connect to others like you to fulfill your own potential!

The fear goes away, but inspiration never does.
