Meet Danniella – Founder of Danniella Bell Remedial Massage

Born in West Auckland and raised in the small town of Waiuku, Danniella has always had a passion for movement and wellness. With a background in dance and a strong interest in physical health, she found her true calling in massage therapy — a hands-on profession that perfectly aligned with her strengths.

At just 16, Danniella left school to pursue her studies in massage therapy at WINTEC in Hamilton, completing both Level 5 & 6 qualifications while working four jobs to fund her education — a testament to her determination and drive. By 19, she had launched Danniella Bell Remedial Massage, building a clinic grounded in care, clinical knowledge, and client trust.

Over the past two years, Danniella has grown DBRM into a respected name in the industry, working with elite sports teams including the Springboks, One NZ Warriors, Canberra Raiders, Cronulla Sharks, Sydney Roosters, Wellington Phoenix and many more. She specialises in Remedial Massage, Dry Needling, Sports/Rehab Therapy, and Oncology Massage.

Now based in her first home with her partner Ash, Danniella continues to expand her business alongside her incredible team — Janelle, Addison and Wil — offering professional, compassionate care to every client who walks through the door.

“Work hard, dream big” isn’t just a motto — it’s the story behind DBRM.
