🌿 Welcome Home Annette 🌿
We’re so delighted to welcome Annette back home to The Wellbeing Cottage! After a well-earned retirement, Annette is returning to share her incredible skill, wisdom and heart once again.
Annette will be offering Remedial and Swedish Massage, Bowen Therapy and Reiki, and is currently available every Tuesday and Wednesday.
Annette’s journey in natural health began in 1990 on the NSW Central Coast, where she completed her studies in Swedish and Remedial Massage. She was among the first Bowen therapists trained in the world, having been taught by Oswald and Elaine Rentsch, the direct students of the late Tom Bowen himself. From early on, her natural ability to sense and restore balance in the body led her to further studies in Polarity Therapy and Reiki.
Her career has included everything from working with sports medicine teams and elite athletes, to running her own multidisciplinary clinic and later teaching and mentoring others in holistic health. Annette has also studied Naturopathy, Nutrition, Herbal Medicine, Flower Essences, Yoga, Meditation, Iridology, and Homoeopathy, and holds a Bachelor of Health Science and Diploma of Nutrition.
Outside of clinic, Annette enjoys family gatherings, crafting, gardening, aromatherapy skincare, and mosaic art. She and her husband, Norm, also love their time in the garden, home projects, and exploring local garden centres and cafes.
We’re truly honoured to have Annette back on our team — her presence brings a deep sense of warmth, wisdom and heart to our healing community.
✨ Appointments with Annette are now open for Tuesdays and Wednesdays — we can’t wait for you to reconnect with her magic!
