Through this time, she has displayed professionalism, commitment, and dedication to present Ananda as the world’s leading wellness retreat. Katherine has developed a complete understanding of the brand’s culture, values and objectives and upholds them with utmost sincerity.

“I love working with Katherine because she’s always on top of every email and request you send through. She’s incredibly responsive, doesn’t demand coverage, and truly understands how the industry works. Katherine is one of the most responsive PR people I’ve ever worked with, and as a journalist, that’s the most important thing. Responsive, professional, and patient. Katherine is fantastic to work with because she’s one of those rare PR people who understands how the pitching, commissioning, and publishing process works from start to finish. It makes working with her a breeze.”

“Your leadership of our overseas public relations efforts has been nothing short of remarkable. The recent series of features in prestigious international media is a direct testament to your strategic insight and tireless commitment. You have masterfully conveyed the unique spirit of the Imperial Hotel — our deep respect for tradition elegantly woven with a new sense of innovation for Kyoto — capturing the attention of a discerning global audience and reaching the very guests we hope to welcome travelers with a deep appreciation for culture and discovery. Your profound understanding of our brand’s legacy, combined with your keen expertise in the luxury hospitality market, has been invaluable. The foundation you are building is not merely about publicity; it is about crafting a narrative that will resonate for years to come. This narrative is essential and will undoubtedly be a cornerstone of our success.”
