Lt Megan Mashali, co-founder of Te Kiwi Māia, a member of the Royal New Zealand Navy and simply put an amazing human being !

Megan co-founded Te Kiwi Māia to support the mental and physical wellbeing of New Zealand’s first responders and defence personnel, who are suffering as a result of their service. The charity provides respite and rehabilitation through its Wellness Week programmes, which offers psychological support, trauma-informed yoga, nutrition and sleep education, and traditional Māori healing. So we chat about her service, wellbeing and just what is Te Kiwi Maia and why it is so important.
