"Wow! What a week - I feel like a whole new world has opened up for me
(again!) where I had thought I had reached the threshold. Morten has calmly and graciously turned our world upside down).
I have just spent the last half an hour chatting with Jo and Cherise (our trainer and one of our baristas) who feel equally inspired - and each of us by different aspects of Morten's training.
Thank you to everyone involved in getting him here.
He has been awesome and amazing!" - Cuth
