Wellness with a Purpose

This chair funds real support for young New Zealanders.

You’ve just sat down in a Wellness with a Purpose chair. The session is yours. A share of what you pay goes to Kiwis For Good, a New Zealand charity that funds practical mental health support for young people, not pamphlets, and not another waiting list.

We exist because too many young Kiwis hit a wall long before help shows up. Donor support got us started. These chairs are how we keep the work going every day, in airports, hospitals, gyms and workplaces across the country.

Where your session goes

Every paid session helps fund:

  • The Hero’s Journey - a free, year-long programme for young men aged 16–25. Gym access, mentoring, coaching, nutrition and trauma support, built around strength, routine and purpose.
  • BRAVE - therapeutic support for young women who have experienced sexual assault and trauma.
  • Wider youth work - mentoring, mental health education and community awareness.

No extra step. No donation form. Using the chair is the contribution.

For venues: wellbeing on site, funding that actually lands.

Wellness with a Purpose places premium massage chairs in airports, hospitals, gyms, workplaces and hospitality venues. Your visitors and staff get a proper recovery session. You get a service with no staffing and no admin. We get a funding stream that does not depend on the next grant round.

How It Works:

  1. We install. Premium chairs, professionally placed in your location. You choose the spot.
  2. People use them. Secure cashless payment. No coins, no staff time, no till.
  3. Revenue is tracked. Automatic processing and clear reporting. Nothing for your team to reconcile.
  4. Young people get support.A share of revenue funds The Hero’s Journey, BRAVE and related programmes.

It is a simple offer. A better experience for the people who use your space, and a visible way to back youth mental health in New Zealand without running a fundraising campaign.
