I’ve been told that when people hear me speak, they feel at home. That’s the mood I cultivate in my keynote speaking and MCing; I connect with the audience and offer warmth and humour, with a bit of dynamic disruption, creating a safe space for challenging and transformative conversations to happen.

I’m booked to speak in corporate, educational, wellbeing, women’s and public sector environments, and am equipped to adjust my approach to meet the nuanced needs of an organisation or event. I can speak to Indigenous issues, women’s issues, cultivating connection with culture, and mobilising communities. I’m an open book, and am more than happy to offer insight into my personal experiences, struggles and wins. 

From keynote speaking at Indigenous wellbeing conferences and panel discussions on transformative activism and systemic change in the arts sector, to International Women’s Day events, inspirational talks on entrepreneurship and speaking at readers and writers festivals nationwide, I use my decades of experience to bring fresh thinking to the table. Past clients particularly comment on my ability to be engaging and know how to read a room. 

I have the capacity to accept a handful of International speaking spots in 2025. For domestic keynotes, guest speaking, panel and MC bookings, I can share my voice on the following topics:

• Indigenous systems and wellbeing (including recent research into narrative as rongoā)

• Business and entrepreneurship in the creative industries

• The power of storytelling

• Mobilising communities for change

• Indigenous rights, story sovereignty and mana motuhake 

• Political strategy in grassroots movements

• The creation and impact of NUKU 

• The campaign for Ihumātao 

• Women’s issues including infertility, miscarriage and motherhood
