    Mindfulness Matters with Kiri McLaughlin

    Kiri McLaughlin is passionate about continuing the conversation around mental health. In 2020,  Kiri set up 'Mindful Messages NI'- a self-care service where you can send 'parcels of hope' to yourself or a loved on. Each parcel is lovingly curated to calm, soothe and uplift the receipt.  Kiri has been working in the field of mental health since 2015. Kiri’s passion for mental health stems from her lived experiences. Having worked for several different charity organisations she has recently ventured into sharing her knowledge under her own business. Kiri is in her mid-thirties (but often still feels like a teenager), married with two little children and a big furry dog. For a long time she has thought she has had life figured out but she’s coming to realise that everyone is just winging it and if her life’s work is helping a few people she’ll be contented.   You can connect with Kiri & Aimée on Instagram. *Remember - if you're struggling, reach out! You are loved more than you know.
