Inspire / Motivate / Excite
Kia ora, Welcome, Hello! I’m Kitty.
Life is what you make it, and despite life’s hurdles it’s possible to maintain a positive outlook that can help you achieve (almost) anything you set your mind to. I’m a person that gets things done, and does them well. I won’t just stand on the sidelines, I’ll step right on up and lead from the front.
I am a motivational speaker, broadcaster and observational comic that writes about life, families, emigrating too many times and living with Parkinson’s (Disease). Don’t let that last bit put you off. It’s not contagious, but being positive is.
(Shhhh… I also work full time as an independant insurance agent. That bit really does put people off, but it really shouldn’t.)

What They Say
“Hi Kitty, on behalf of Electra, thank you so much for preparing and speaking at the Breakfast on Wed. You were super funny with your raw sense of humour yet engaging and educational with the information and facts that you provided.
You are kind, smart and have an infectious humour. “
Helene Judge – Kapiti Business Projects
She is a most inspirational speaker and everyone in attendance was very impressed with her presentation and came away with a better knowledge of the condition.
I think she is an extremely valuable person for Parkinson’s to have communicating information and experiences of the condition and in encouraging funding support from Charitable groups such as ours throughout the wider Wellington region.
