Hear From Past Students
"I have completed the first block of this course and can't wait for the second in December. Belle and the tutors have an incredible depth of knowledge and world experience. What I have learnt so far has exceeded expectations. I love the teaching style, with lots of hands on experience, the location and the awesome support. I feel like I have made lifelong friends with both the students and tutors. It has also been a very personal healing journey.
I look forward to supporting woman in this most sacred rite of passage.

"It was such a beautiful course where I've learned so much, so much more than I thought. More than massage, I learned how to support pregnant woman and labour with yoga exercises, nutrition advice, supporting oils, smells and more. I had the chance to support a childbirth since and it was definitely the highlight of the year for me. To be able to support a woman during labour is a feeling I will always cherish. I would definitely recommend to learn from the NZ Doula College"

"I had the privilege to participate in two of Belle’s Massage Courses, both of them have been profound and transformative. Belle’s teachings come with depth, powerful and valuable knowledge and techniques that reach very high physical, mental, emotional & energetical levels of positive effect. Her holistic approach allows to gain insight and perspective, revelation and integration. Belle’s caring and nurturing nature offers a safe space, making you feel heard, understood and held. Participating in the pregnancy massage course was a great opportunity to learn relevant skills to support the journey of life creation and receive healing wisdom, with Belles’s sharing around physical, emotional and spiritual support. If this work resonates and you’re looking to learn or up skill, I highly recommend her courses and teachings!"

"I recently completed the pregnancy, birth and postpartum massage course with Belle. I have gained so much knowledge from the five-day course. It is very in depth. With my background in midwifery, I know what changes are happening within our body during pregnancy and birth and how important it is for to support the body to release tight muscles to allow the pregnancy and birth to be more easeful. I highly recommend this course for anyone intending to work with women in pregnancy, birth and post partum."

"It was such an extensive training and I have gained knowledge that gave me confidence to support women's throughout all the stages of their pregnancy and birth. Highly recommend!"
