Anna was born and raised in South Africa where she studied skincare, aromatherapy, reflexology, deep tissue and lymphatic massage. Over the years, she has completed training in Thai massage, Cranio-Sacral therapy and Chinese Medicine concentrating on acupuncture and herbal medicine. She has recently become a teacher of Chinese Medicine. Close observation of her clients along with her expertise led her to understand the true meaning of therapy: being present, aware, work on the root cause of the issue and not the symptom, by supporting and balancing the natural flow within the body and, thus, creating harmony and well-being. This expertise led her to new ways to approach and treat people and help them reconnect with their inner knowledge so as to continue to opt for a balanced life. Anna likes to treat everybody as an individual as she believes that the body, mind and spirit are inseparable and need to be treated as a whole.
