About us at Sanctuary Valley Day Spa

	My name is Brigitte, if I only had 2 words to use to describe what I love doing it would be: creating and helping. Creating music, videos, taking and retouching photos (my 4 year old boy being my main subject), designing and implementing concepts such as view.net.nz.Helping people achieving their own goal. I'm a fitness and driving instructor and I have enjoyed helping many people over the years towards their respective goal. I also love helping people to relax in my own seclusive Day spa. My skills are deliberately varied and I am passionate about my ventures because I meet people and improve something in their lives.I love nature, animals and New Zealand which is for me the most amazing country in the world. I stopped travelling after discovering Aeteoroa 12 years ago. For me that was it.
