Kirkland Newman is an Anglo-American journalist and entrepreneur. She is the Founder and Editor of MindHealth360, a free, global resource for integrative mental health and functional medicine psychiatry, the Host of The MindHealth360 Show, and the Executive Director of IMMH, Integrative Medicine for Mental Health.  

She created MindHealth360 after her own postpartum depression to address the epidemic of mental health issues and the lack of sustainable, root-cause based solutions for mental health in mainstream medicine. She launched the MindHealth360 Show in 2020 to give a voice to the top practitioners of integrative mental health from around the world. In 2023, she took over the leading global integrative mental health conference, IMMH, to educate medical and mental health practitioners about the latest scientific research and best clinical practice in integrative mental health and functional medicine psychiatry. 

She has worked for Rockefeller Brothers Fund and Ogilvy & Mather in New York, and for Musiclegal and The Prince's Trust in London. She is a Co-Founder and Trustee of The Horizon Foundation which provides support for young refugees from the Middle East and Asia. 

Kirkland has a first class/summa cum laude BA/MA from Oxford University in Modern Languages and Literature (French and Spanish); an MSc from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) in European Studies; and an MA from The School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) in Near and Middle Eastern Studies. Her dissertation “The Battle for Victimhood, Roles and Narratives of Suffering in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict” was published in “Narrating Conflict in the Middle East: Discourse, Image and Communications Practices in Lebanon and Palestine”.
