I’m Anneke. My philosophy as an osteopath is that the body has an innate ability to move towards health. Sometimes it simply needs a little guidance and encouragement. Rather than forcing change, my role is to listen calmly to your body’s own wisdom so its natural rebalancing processes can emerge.

Every day I’m inspired by the body’s remarkable capacity to return to balance and harmony, often in ways that are subtle, profound and unique to each person.

I practise Biodynamic Cranial Osteopathy, a gentle approach that supports the body to unwind restrictions, tension and pain. I’ve trained extensively in this postgraduate field and really value its subtlety and depth, as it supports your body’s natural capacity for healing.

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.
