No Fuss, No Frills

My name is Katrina and I make voice, speech and public speaking training simple. 

Everyone deserves to be heard and understood. I work with people from all walks of life (including corporate leaders, business owners and healthcare professionals), using evidence-based strategies to free the voice and create comfort in communication.

I believe that developing craft is key to instilling speakers with confidence and competence. My training process is practical and joy-filled, equipping the speaker with body, breath, voice and speech skills that can be relied upon in public and under pressure.

The speakers I train walk away from the work free of fear and affectation: sounding, looking and feeling like their most authentic selves. Whether you’re working to a tight deadline or looking for long-term change, I’ll get you speaking up and out in no time.

Working with Katrina has been transformative for my confidence in speaking. Before our sessions, I often felt nervous when addressing leaders or presenting to large teams. Her approach not only improved my voice and speech techniques but also made me feel empowered to express my ideas clearly. I now walk into meetings with a newfound confidence, ready to engage and inspire my audience. The skills I've gained have become an integral part of my development plan, and I genuinely feel like I can hold my own in any conversation.
Bec WrightEmployee Engagement and Experience Specialist, Hastings Deering
I highly recommend Simply Speech, Katrina is an amazing speaking coach. I sought her help with doing my first ever presentation for work and I had no previous experience at all with public speaking. Her help with formulating the presentation and then delivering it were invaluable and I absolutely could not have done it without her. Having had her coaching gave me the confidence to get up and speak and I actually enjoyed it and had fantastic feedback! It was such a positive experience. If you want to learn the skills to do public speaking then Katrina is the answer - she is fantastic.
Dr. Deborah WebbVeterinarian
So amazing to attend Katrina's 'Effective Communication' masterclass hosted by the Australasian College of Physical Scientists and Engineers in Medicine (ACPSEM) - a very different (but VERY important) skill set that I feel as physicists we just don't work on enough: clear communication and the ability to connect with your audience cannot be understated! A completely inspiring and interesting workshop!

Katrina's guidance has transformed my speech delivery and facilitation skills. She's equipped me with tools for tone, movement, breath, body language (and much more), enabling me to articulate myself with confidence and connect deeply with my audience. Her expertise is a game-changer, and she's been pivotal in making me a more impactful speaker.
Grace Henry-HicksProfessional Facilitator & Founder of Holding Space with Grace
“We highly recommend Katrina for any organisation looking to enhance their public speaking and presentation abilities. The feedback from our team was overwhelmingly positive, with everyone in the class able to take some valuable knowledge away with them - no matter their previous skill level or personality type.”

I need to use my voice in many roles - from caring for patients, to teaching trainees and facilitating conferences. Katrina has given me invaluable skills in professional speaking and personal presentation. I am now a much more clear and confident communicator. Thank you!
Dr. M.B.Doctor & Medical College President
Katrina was a delight to deal with from start to finish. She made time to really understand what we were hoping to achieve, and then designed and delivered a fantastic, engaging half day session for our group of women participants. They loved it – and were able to immediately put into place what they had learned to become more confident and skilled speakers. Highly recommend Katrina and will definitely engage her for our next program.
Georgina CopeAustralia Awards 'Women Leading and Influencing'
The data storytelling workshop was a game-changer for our team. Katrina has a unique way of making complex concepts accessible and relatable. After the session, I noticed a remarkable shift in how my colleagues present their ideas. They now know how to weave narratives around data, making our presentations not only more engaging but also more impactful. The team feels more empowered to communicate their value in any room, and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. It’s incredible to see how our presentations have evolved, and it’s all thanks to Katrina's guidance. We will definitely be using this workshop again in our business.

Katrina is an excellent presenter & speaker. It's one thing being so gifted in all manners of speech, but sharing those skills unreservedly and really caring about your progress is both humbling and extremely inspirational. I would thoroughly recommend Katrina to anyone who wishes to take up or improve their presentation and speaking skills.

Katrina brought to life my voice and projection which I did not know existed previously. Now I can speak with clarity and volume to an audience. She is very knowledgeable and an excellent coach, a real pleasure to work with!
Karl UngMicrosoft Azure Partner Manager
Katrina was attentive and present during each of our sessions. She helped me improve my voice, get over a lisp and even start singing. I felt at ease during each session and I enjoyed the process of building my craft from the bottom up. I would thoroughly recommend Katrina.
