Kelsey Waghorn is a Whakaari/White Island survivor and former guide who suffered severe burns and has undergone ongoing surgeries and rehab.
This chat paints a detailed picture of who she was before December 9, 2019, what happened during the eruption and how the years since have looked.
She shares her story on her own terms and in her own words, including recovery milestones, the messy middle, and what it means to keep turning up.

I loved spending time with Kelsey Waghorn and I have no doubt you will as well.
