Hayley Holt
Hayley Holt is a talented New Zealand television presenter, former snowboarder, ballroom dancer
Hayley Holt is a familiar face to New Zealanders — a broadcaster, author, mental health advocate, and former professional athlete with a gift for connecting to people from all walks of life.
Hayley first made her name as a professional snowboarder and competitive ballroom dancer, even representing New Zealand at world championship level. She then became a household name on Kiwi screens, co-hosting Breakfast on TVNZ and appearing on shows like Dancing with the Stars and The Crowd Goes Wild.
In 2023, Hayley released her deeply personal memoir Second Chances, where she shared her journey through addiction, grief, and becoming a mum. The book touched readers all over Aotearoa with its honesty, warmth, and hope. Since then, Hayley has become a passionate advocate for mental health, addiction recovery, and resilience, using her own story to help others feel less alone.
On stage, Hayley is open, funny, and deeply genuine. She has a rare ability to tackle big topics — from overcoming personal battles to navigating career pivots — in a way that feels relatable and uplifting. In 2025, she continues to speak at wellbeing events, corporate gatherings, and community forums around the country, inspiring audiences to embrace vulnerability and live with purpose.
