I’m Anneke. My philosophy as an osteopath is that the body has an innate ability to move towards health. Rather than forcing change, my role is to listen calmly to your body’s own wisdom, allowing its natural rebalancing processes to emerge.

I practise Biodynamic Cranial Osteopathy, a gentle approach that supports the release of restrictions, tension and pain. I’ve trained extensively in this postgraduate field and continue to be inspired by its subtlety and depth, and by the remarkable and unique ways each person responds to this work.

I enjoy supporting people of all ages and with a wide range of conditions. My aim is always to improve quality of life by caring for the whole person in a nurturing and gentle way.

I hold a Bachelor of Communication Studies, a Bachelor of Science (Osteopathy), and a Master of Osteopathy, which I completed in 2014.

Outside of clinic time, I’m being mum to my two kids, and often finding both stillness and movement in nature—whether on a bush trail, in a river or the sea. My long-standing yoga practice also influences my approach to movement, and when appropriate, I suggest simple strengthening exercises or stretches to support recovery.

I’m an ACC-registered osteopath, meaning that a referral from another treatment provider is not required, and I can put through claims to ACC for any new injuries.
