I came to Wellpark College because I needed to do something that completely absorbed me. At Wellpark it was wonderful to be amongst likeminded people, from different backgrounds and cultures and exchange knowledge. The greatest benefit to me was that treatments were holistic, considering the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. Since gaining my qualification I have treated internationally ranked tennis players at the Heineken Open and I am currently employed at the Refugees as Survivors New Zealand and at the Wellness at Work clinic, as a body therapist"
