Whau Foundation News

In the Media

Recently, our Whau Foundation ambassador Kimberley Crossman caught up with Mike Puru on The House of Wellness at The Breeze NZ for an extended and deeply personal chat about her journey into motherhood.

In the conversation, Kim opens up about pregnancy, miscarriage, and navigating depression – sharing her story with honesty, courage, and compassion. Her experiences have fueled a powerful passion for mental health and wellness, and we are honoured to have her bring that passion to Whau Foundation as an ambassador.

We’re so grateful for Kim’s advocacy, her openness, and her commitment to helping others feel less alone, and for her input. Her involvement was the catalyst for us to open a special fund for women’s mental health.

You can listen to the full conversation on Spotify (just search “The House of Wellness”).

We are also thrilled to share that Kim recently welcomed her first child – a daughter called Coco – to the world. We wish her all the very best for this next chapter of motherhood.

“It’s a real privilege to be supporting Kiwis as they lead vital research into areas like depression, anxiety, and women’s health – topics that are deeply personal and close to my heart. This work has the power to create lasting change in the lives of so many.” – Kim Crossman
