I have worked with Kirsty in the physiotherapy profession over a number of years as part of the Otago University Christchurch Physiotherapy team.
Kirsty was a wonderful physiotherapist, highly skilled, caring for her patients and a valued part of the team.
Physiotherapy students valued Kirsty´s calm quiet approach and encouragement.
I feel lucky to have to have worked with and learnt from her.
Please accept my condolences. My thoughts are with family and friends.
