1st Session!

During our first session, I will address any concerns you may have. I will also ask some questions to learn more about you and your health, and based on that information, I will make a recommendation for a treatment plan going forward.

My Approach

As a practitioner, I take an integrative approach to treating patients by drawing on my expertise in CranioSacral Therapy, SomatoEmotional Release®, Myofascial Release, oxygen therapy and other modalities. My goal is to create an individualized treatment plan that takes into account the patient’s unique physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. During the initial 20-minute chat, I get to know you and your health history, allowing me to assess your situation and make recommendations for a treatment plan. The first session involves a treatment where I focus on listening to your body and learning about your condition. By doing so, I can provide an effective and tailored approach to support you on your healing journey.

"Anja is a special human being who is very honest in her beliefs and practise. I felt very welcome and calm in my craniosacral session which is strange for me as I did not have a clue what kind of therapy/treatment to expect. Anja released inherent fascial tensions and actually guided my body to restore itself by the lightest way of "touching". Many emotions and memories were brought to light in the process. I was very exhausted after the first few sessions but as we went on, every time the recovery was quicker - this still blows my mind. In Anja I have found a person who continually strives to understand better, study more and check in with me - who has a passion to assist my body to heal itself!""

"Anja is the personification of love, care and compassion. She has been my top mom-in-my-village to aide in the development and progress of our daughter. She has grown with us, became an integral part of our lives. She goes the extra mile to get down to the root of any situation and then she applies all her knowledge and skill to give you as a parent the same "power" and confidence in dealing with a hurt brain and an unbalanced body. A plaster over a symptom is not good enough, she yearns for healing for all children she encounters. For me personally Anja is my totally irreplaceable guide and friend and I place my total trust in her when it comes to the way forward for our daughter. I am forever grateful for the blessing of her encouragement and never quitting spirit ❤️"

Sonja Kuhnel

"I met Anja a few years ago and we started Reflex Integration sessions for my son Keenan who has Cerebral Palsy and is in a wheelchair. Keenan is 14 years old now and at times struggles with his tight muscles. The Reflex Integration as well as the Craniosacral therapy Anja has done on him helped tremendously. Anja has always been one of our favorite therapists who works with Keenan. She has the ability to go down to the level of the child and interact with them in a very special way, to make them feel comfortable and making the session fun. Keenan has always enjoyed seeing her and is excited in the morning when he is on his way to her house.
