About Holistic

Holistic is the big picture approach acknowledging an inseparable connection of body, mind and spirit. The holistic approach looks beyond symptoms and treats the whole being.

About Health

Health is more than the absence of illness, disease, dysfunction, discomfort or pain.
Health is defined by the presence of balance, joy for life, youthful enthusiasm, flexibility of mind, a sense of purpose, a nurturing spiritual connection, and deep gratitude for the many good things in one’s life.
In short - health is physical, emotional, mental and spiritual balance.

About Me

Annette has a background in banking, teaching and translating. In her mid-twenties she discovered natural therapies and Eastern philosophies and credits a boyfriend’s grandmother with opening her inner eyes and ears. When love called her from her native Germany to Australia, she transformed her passions into her business and in 1993 established a natural therapies clinic in South Australia’s beautiful Barossa Valley.

Annette combines over 16 years of ongoing training and experience in clinical practice with a strong intuitive gift. She is an accredited member of the Australian Traditional-Medicine Society, the Bowen Therapists Association of SA and the Australian Kinesiology Association as well as a Reiki Master.

Annette offers a truly holistic experience. Remedial treatment is only one part of the whole. Physical and emotional pain are closely connected. Dis-ease becomes disease. Unaddressed negative behaviours and patterns may cause illness.

Annette understands that effective treatment needs a nurturing environment. Every being needs to feel safe, loved and accepted. Only when these essential needs are being met can the body respond and let go of physical and emotional pain.

To help her clients regain balance in their lives Annette uses massage, Bowen therapy, reflexology, kinesiology, flower remedies and Reiki to provide holistic support ranging from managing physical symptoms to the many aspects of mental and emotional stress.

In 2009 Annette added animal consultations to her range of services. After having worked on animals as a favour to her human clients she came to realise that animals get just as affected by life’s events as people. In many cases the wellbeing of the owner and their pet is closely linked. Annette has always loved animals and feels privileged to be able to give them a voice.
