The annual awards recognise sole traders developing their business concept on their own.
Ms Thompson had been a beauty therapist for two decades when she established in Elysian Therapies in February 2019.
"I have worked in different styles of beauty salons and my idea was to incorporate some of the things I like the most," she said
Elysian provides holistic treatments such as sound healing, meditation and other beauty therapy services in a stress free spa like environment.
Ms Thompson's objective is to perform beauty treatments in a more holistic way and each session ends with Tibetan singing bowls.
"The sound healing bowls we use are made of brass or quartz. They are all different sizes and tune in to different parts of your body. We end every treatment with sound healing," she said.
"We use a rubber mallet for the crystal bowls and a felt mallet for the brass bowls.
"You use the mallet around the rim and it creates a sound and vibration.
"When you lie down with the bowls next to you that vibration goes through your whole body."
Mrs Thompson provides a range of treatments for the skin, body and mind.
She said the bowls help people leave feeling relaxed. And thinks that is one of the reasons her business is so popular during COVID-19.
The Altitude Awards are presented by Women With Altitude and The Men's Altitude Network.
