Testimonial
Natalie from Resus Nelson Ltd has provided Motueka Search and Rescue with Adrenaline training for the past two or three years. This training is always very popular with our team of volunteers, not only because of the subject matter, but also because Natalie's teaching method is so experiential and engaging. Natalie is a natural teacher, with a bubbly and friendly personality, and working in a busy ED at Nelson Hospital means she knows her subject extremely well. We highly recommend Resus Nelson Ltd and feel fortunate to have the opportunity to utilise their services.
