Fascia therapy
Fasciatherapy is a revolutionary method for pain, stress, fatigue and trauma. It is a body-oriented form of therapy that starts from the movement of fascia, the connective tissue. The method has its origins in osteopathy and is a particular area of clinical interest within physical therapy. Fasciatherapy goes beyond a purely mechanical treatment of the fascia and produces effects on biological, physiological, psycho-emotional to even existential levels.
Leading Lady
Annelies has an exceptional sense of working with groups of people. Her natural way of speaking in front of a group, combined with her keen observation skills and thinking from potential, quickly create trust and gusto within the group. A necessary starting point for transformation and flourishing.
