About ThrivingKiwi
ThrivingKiwi started with a simple frustration: most wellness content online is written for Americans, priced in US dollars, and recommends products you cannot even buy in New Zealand. This is a wellness resource made by Kiwis, for Kiwis — honest, evidence-informed, and locally grounded.
About Reece
I’m Reece Clements, a New Zealand-based writer and researcher with a genuine passion for conscious living. I’ve spent years exploring what it means to thrive — from nutrition and gut health to New Zealand’s extraordinary natural wellness landscape. I’m also deeply interested in how the built environment shapes our health and wellbeing: natural building materials, hempcrete, earthship design, and the circular economy. ThrivingKiwi is where all of that comes together.
Three Pillars of Conscious Living
Nourish — Supplements, vitamins, gut health, probiotics, nootropics, and collagen. What works, what doesn’t, where to buy it in NZ, and what it costs in real dollars. Evidence-informed and honest about what the science actually says.
Restore — Wellness experiences across Aotearoa: hot pools, cold plunge, infrared saunas, float tanks, yoga retreats, and recovery practices. New Zealand’s geothermal landscape gives us some of the world’s most extraordinary natural wellness experiences. This is your guide to them.
Build — Sustainable living, healthy homes, and natural building materials. Hempcrete, earthships, bamboo composites, recycled materials, and the growing NZ movement toward construction that heals rather than harms. What you live in matters as much as what you put in your body.
Our Approach
Everything on this site is written in plain NZ English, references local stockists and NZD pricing, and follows one principle: give people the honest information they need to make their own good decisions. We’re not doctors and nothing here is medical advice. Always consult your GP or a registered health professional before starting new supplements.
