What our clients say…
BeHappy Course
"I first met Annette, at the cold water's edge just before the whistle blew for the Nyon triathlon, I subsequently met her at the start line of other sports events. It was on the start line of the escalade that I had more time to chat with her. I realized then that nothing in life is a coincidence. I am very much of the same mind as Annette, that we need to balance our physical, mental, emotional, and inner self and was feeling a little out of balance and she came into my life at the right time. I thought her 10-week sophrology course was just what I needed to put me back on track. As a very active person, I find it extremely difficult to sit and relax. The first two sessions were quite a challenge to focus but I soon felt comfortable and started to really look forward to meeting at her house with some other fabulous ladies for our well-deserved relaxation. Her house became an oasis in my busy life. I benefitted enormously from the course and still try to practice at home. She asked us what our goal was before we started, mine was simply to find inner contentment. A goal I am still chasing but feel a lot closer than I did before the sophrology. Additionally, I had a "botch-job" hand operation which pushed me to an all-time low. After a few massages at Annette's, I started to feel better and she certainly helped with the healing process of my hand, physically, and as importantly my emotional state. I feel that as a woman of 50 we have many challenges to cope with, the menopause of course, and many of us have young teenagers to deal with at the same time, not to mention being a working mum and wife. It is good to know that Annette is out there to guide us through life's tough times. Let's face it we really deserve positive time out which will benefit, not only ourselves but those close to us. Thanks, Annette for making a difference to so many of our lives."

"I would certainly recommend Annette's Sophrology sessions to anyone who is feeling in need of a little help with either health or emotional issues. It undeniably brings positive improvements to the body and mind. It helped me to feel more in balance and see things differently, to channel my energy, and feel the presence of life through the simplicity of my free breathing. I would urge anyone to try it!"

beChill Courses Extra-Curricular
“From my perspective, the course really helped her to better deal with pre-exam stress. She clearly referred to using the breathing techniques before a test and how it helped her focus rather than feel panicky during the first few minutes. As a result of the course, she felt more relaxed ahead of her examination week." Parent of a 13-year-old student
"I know Annette professionally through her work with my daughter in the Approaching Life & Exams with Confidence, Calm, and Concentration classes. She expertly managed to teach my tightly wound sixth-grader how to transform herself into a less-stressed, more capable middle schooler navigating the increased pressures of life at school and at home." Parent of 11-year-old student

REFLEXOLOGY
"When I booked my first Reflexology appointment with Annette I thought that I was just going to receive a foot massage. Instead, I received an overall balancing treatment where Annette worked on releasing blocked areas in my body and she gave me advice on areas of my body that needed attention to keep me healthy and balanced. I have been receiving treatments on a monthly basis for 2 years. I have benefited immensely from these treatments as Annette also helped me with situations that presented themselves in my daily life. As a mother of 4 young children with a husband in an International position with plenty of travel, these treatments really kept me centered. I highly recommend regular reflexology sessions as a method of keeping the body and mind healthy and balanced. Oh, and I almost forgot, I slept like a baby after the treatments, a really nice side effect!"
Michelle, Mother of 4 children, Connecticut, USA
"During my cancer treatment, I had very little relief from the relentless chemo sessions used to target my triple-negative breast cancer. A particularly aggressive -- and often fatal -- type of bc, triple-negative does not respond to other forms of therapies so my doctor had to throw everything in her chemo arsenal at it. As a result, I was WRECKED.
But there was something -- and someone -- I looked forward to every week: my reflexology sessions and head massages with Annette. Those hours were a bit of heaven and provided me with great relief from the ravaging effects of the chemo and radiation.
I highly recommend Annette and her healing hands. She is truly gifted, caring, understanding, gentle, wise, and strong. I benefitted immeasurably from her therapies and I know that you will, too".

REIKI
"I have benefitted enormously from having Reiki sessions with Annette. Her positive energy is both wonderfully calming and energizing. Reiki sessions with Annette have been very helpful during stressful periods as well as helping me when I had a breast lump diagnosed. I am certain that the lump reduced in size significantly after Reiki sessions with Annette. I can thoroughly and wholeheartedly recommend Annette as a holistic practitioner who brings a sense of balance to life."
Heather, Executive Coach & Mother of 2 Girls, Lake Geneva Region
