“"I cannot thank Kirsty enough for her support and expertise during one of the most stressful times in my career. After enduring months of workplace bullying, I was so drained and didn’t know where to turn next - until I engaged Kirsty. She immediately made me feel understood and empowered, guiding me through every step of the grievance process and buffering me from the ex-employer by acting as an intermediary. She advocated fiercely on my behalf to achieve a resolution that allowed me to regain my confidence and career"

“Kirsty is a true HR/ER professional. If you are looking for sound advice to ensure that you are doing the right thing by your people, then I would highly recommend engaging Kirsty in your change process. Kirsty provides sage advice and is a level head in situations where there can be high emotion. I would have no hesitation in engaging Kirsty's consultancy services again."

Tony Laskey

“Kirsty is a change-maker, a complete professional and an inspiration for all those who work with her. She leads innovative thought and practices within her team, creating an agile and positive work culture. Kirsty is a deep thinker and is committed to her personal development, taking every opportunity to learn and improve her practice. I highly recommend Kirsty for innovative businesses who are interested in leading the way through disruptive performance. "

Rachel Tucker

“Kirsty is able to look at a situation, determine the key issues involved, then properly act on it in the best interests of the company and employees. Kirsty is an exceptional strategic and tactical HR leader, she regularly advised our CEO and myself regarding the best approach to issues from an HR perspective. I consider Kirsty a trusted advisor and confidant, and one of the best HR leaders I have had the pleasure to work with"

Steve Lance

“I’m pleased to recommend Kirsty, who supported me through a business restructure. Her expertise, calm approach, and practical guidance were invaluable throughout what was a complex and sensitive process. Kirsty ensured the restructure was carried out fairly and respectfully, with a strong focus on treating impacted staff with dignity—something that was very important to me. She was approachable, easy to work with, and provided clear, honest advice, particularly when I was uncertain or second-guessing decisions.

I will be using Kirsty in the future and could highly recommend her to any organisation needing an experienced, people-focused HR expert."

Aliesha Moroney-Ormsby

“Kirsty's project management, personality, professionalism, ability to multitask and think outside the box makes her an industry leader. Kirsty is not afraid to make tough decisions and will stand by her peers in times of difficulty. Kirsty led the pre-opening recruitment of a 150-room 4-star hotel in Auckland, along with the project of centralising some of the group's resources and staff and setting new standards and procedures for the group. Kirsty is a must-have person to have on the senior management team."

Support as you need it

Every organisation is unique, and my approach is designed to align HR strategies with your business goals—creating workplaces that are productive, compliant, and built for success.

I support businesses in two primary ways: on a Fractional basis, where I work 'in' your business as part of your team, or on an as-needed basis.

Let's work together to shape a stronger, more resilient workforce.

A way forward made clear

The ins and outs of employment is complex and ever-changing. When you find yourself in a situation where you want to know the way forward, we can help.

A combination of technical expertise and a gift for translating HR/ER into simple to understand terms means you'll find your way forward with any scenario soon feels clear.
