“I loved Dagmar's baby course. Each week I left feeling informed, inspired, relaxed and looking forward to returning.”

- Jodie, Baby Course

"Dagmar's nature play group is exactly what I've been looking for as an experience for my two boys. Wholesome outdoor fun where they can explore, get muddy and discover new adventures in a really easy and convenient set-up for me. Also just love hanging out with other mums with a cup of tea in hand!"

- Melissa, Nature Play Group

“It’s been wonderful learning about baby massage with Dagmar! My son and I have loved the experience. He recently had his first cold and the face massage helped a lot with his congestion!

This course has helped me feel more confident as a mother. Dagmar is a loving person who I’ve enjoyed talking with and getting to know.”

- Alice, Baby Massage Course

“We looked forward to class each week and loved relaxing in Dagmar’s gorgeous garden, with other like-minded mums and their bubbas. Dagmar creates a calm, safe space to discuss and learn the content of the course. We loved it! Blenheim is very lucky to have Dagmar. Respectful Parenting is an amazing opportunity for parents and children and we’d highly recommend the course!”

- Ciara, Baby Course

"Dagmar’s baby course was such a lovely way to spend our mornings throughout our fourth trimester. It was a really supportive atmosphere and her garden was a gorgeous spot to spend a couple of hours each week. Her content was delivered in a really thoughtful way and will definitely be helpful along my parenting journey.”

- Kate, Baby Course

“Dagmar provides a safe and open environment where we can relax with a cup of tea and talk about our motherhood journey. I especially love the social aspect of the course, meeting the other mums and babies and discussing topics that are relevant to us all. I truly felt lighter after each session, lifted up by the beautiful conversations and the experience as a whole. Most of all, I feel empowered to be the best version of myself that I can be for my children.”

- Sarah, Baby Course

"This course with Dagmar is something I will cherish as a parent moving forward. I feel confident with the principles and ideas discussed and happily apply them in my everyday interaction with my little one. I could not recommend this more highly."

- Bronwyn, Baby Course

“Dagmar has introduced me to ideas and values that I will now carry through into the way that I parent. These ideas were also paired with small practical changes that I can make. Alongside the course content I also enjoyed relaxing in Dagmar’s beautiful garden every Thursday amongst other Mums and babies and enjoying Dagmar’s delicious baking and tea while learning about respectful parenting.“

- Danii, Baby Course

“Dagmar’s teaching was easy to understand and follow, very welcoming and inviting to participate and express thoughts or question. It’s helped me and my partner have a better understanding, as we have no experience with babies yet.“

- B, Before Baby Course

“This course was so well communicated and I feel I have learnt so much to go ahead with - and great baking!”

- W, Before Baby Course

“We like meeting with other parents and chatting about other aspects of parenting that are not always included in antenatal classes, which tend to focus more on the pregnancy rather than life with a new baby. I would definitely recommend this to any new parent that wants to feel a bit more prepared for their little one.”

-Sarah & Tyler, Before Baby Course

“My daughter and I loved and looked forward to this course each week and got a lot out of it. It was a lovely way to meet like minded parents and learn a holistic way of parenting.”

- Abi, Toddler Course

“I absolutely loved this course. It gave me the confidence and skills to build a respectful relationship with my children by trusting my heart and instincts and truly seeing them for who they are.”

- Sandra, Baby Course

“My baby is a lot calmer before bed and if she has a tummy ache, it really helps. I loved how Dagmar explained the benefit of each massage technique.”

- Khloe, Baby Massage Course

“It was a lovely way of spending time with my son and to learn new ways of calming and relaxing him. He sleeps much better and it's just a nice 5-10 minutes at the end of the day with him. Dagmar was very welcoming, and the morning tea was a lovely start to the course.”

- Hannah, Baby Massage Course

“I like the relaxed feel and it was a chance to relax with my daughter and just be for that hour and a half. Dagmar was always so welcoming, interested and caring.”

- Bridget, Baby Massage Course

“I really enjoyed the free play and more confidence in my children. It was a great way to discover new places around Marlborough.”

- Dayna, Nature Play Group

“Nature Play reinforces our love for outdoor spaces and lets the kids test boundaries. There were many times I watched the kids gaining so much confidence in activities like climbing and exploring “spooky” areas. Food’s pretty good too!”

- Nick, Nature Play Group

“I enjoyed the hands-on aspect of the course, asking us to sit with our thoughts and then discuss with our partners. I got more out of this rather than just being told what to do with my baby. This course has set me up well for my baby and treating them respectfully from day one.”

- Greta, Before Baby Course

“This course has changed the way my partner and I plan to parent our daughter. It’s opened up our minds to different, more supportive and respectful ways of doing things. I liked Dagmar’s warm, open and positive attitude and the opportunity and space to come to our own conclusions about the concepts.”
