Kiri is a Pilates and Yoga instructor, mother, traveller and gypsy girl at heart. She's also a very dear friend and someone I look up to immensely. Her story has been shaped by teen pregnancy, addiction and the tragic loss of loved ones to suicide. In 2021 she is walking the length of New Zealand in support of suicide prevention.
