ABOUT

From finding my own voice to helping others communicate with confidence.

Born with a speech impediment, I grew up knowing what it feels like to struggle to be heard. Speaking felt frightening, yet at eight years old I stepped into my first professional role in a Heinz Baked Beans TV advert. That moment changed everything and taught me that confidence is not something you are born with. It is something you build.

I trained in theatre and screen acting, working as a makeup artist, sales trainer and event manager. These experiences taught me how people communicate under pressure and what gets in the way. I learned how clarity, structure and genuine connection help even the most nervous speaker find their voice.

My journey from silence to stage shapes everything I do today. My approach is honest, empathetic and grounded in practical communication that builds real confidence.

Communication is powerful when it is done with service at the heart

One thing Clients say about me over and over is ‘Kirsty Gets The Job Done’.

BEYOND BUSINESS

Connection, clarity and the simple moments that shape how we show up in the world.

Away from client work, life is grounded in family and home. I am a mum, a wife and someone who finds joy in baking bread, making jam and embracing the small, steady rituals that bring calm and connection.

These moments remind me why communication matters. It is not about perfection. It is about honesty, presence and showing up as yourself in every part of life. The same principles that guide my coaching guide my life. They are clarity, confidence, kindness and connection.

Book a Discovery Call or Explore a Power Hour and let’s make your message matter.
