Speaker / Dr. Kate Allatt

Dr Kate Allatt astonishingly recovered from the very rare condition, Locked In Syndrome, after her brainstem stroke at the age of 39 when doctors wanted to turn off her life support. At that time she had a very young family, ran 70 miles a week and had a successful marketing business.  Imagine being able to think, feel, see and hear everything yet not be able to move a single muscle below your eyelids for months? Her internationally published book ‘Running Free: Breaking out of Locked In Syndrome’ 2011,was on the book shelves, just 8 months after walking out of hospital. She has many worldwide media appearances after her interview with Jeremy Vine was syndicated around the worlds’ media – BBC, Sky TV, ITV, Channel 4, Globo TV, RTL, 60 Minutes Australia, Indian Sunday Times, South Africa etc.
Dr Allatt won Extraordinary Woman 2011, was a VIP at The Olympic Opening Ceremony, is a TEDx speaker, researcher, proven keynote and after dinners speaker.
She thought Lockdown would be a walk in the park after she had unexpectedly flourished from being locked inside her own body for months in 2010.  She lost everything again. Her business, her marriage and purpose.
But then she discovered that her locked in syndrome coping strategies needed to be deployed again and with great success!
