About Anita

Where it began

Her healing journey began in childhood. When she was eight years old and her father became seriously ill, Anita would hold his medication bottles whenever she brought them to him, speaking loving words over them and kissing them, believing that her love could help him heal.

Years later, Anita realised that this simple childhood ritual had been the beginning of her healing journey. There was no technique or training behind it, only an instinctive understanding of the power of love, intention and connection. Healing, she came to understand, had always been part of her.

A family legacy

Born into a family with a rich tradition of holistic healthcare, Anita was introduced to natural healing from an early age. Her grandfather was both an Ayurvedic and Allopathic doctor, and her mother shared his embrace of Ayurvedic traditions; meditation, yoga, Ayurvedic herbs, natural medicines, massage, and daily spiritual practice were all woven into family life. These early experiences laid the foundation for her deep understanding of the connection between mind, body, and spirit.

From nursing to holistic healing

After leaving school, Anita trained as a nurse, gaining a comprehensive understanding of pathology, anatomy, physiology, and the mechanics of the physical body. Yet even at nineteen, she found herself asking deeper questions: what role do our emotions play in our health, how does stress affect the body, and what happens when we look beyond a symptom to the whole person? While working in healthcare, she became increasingly aware that conventional medicine often addressed symptoms without fully considering the emotional, mental, and energetic factors influencing health. This realisation inspired her to explore complementary therapies and holistic healing.

This is complementary therapy. It sits alongside medical care and is never offered as a substitute for it.

Training and qualifications

Her passion for learning led her to study a wide range of disciplines: massage therapy, aromatherapy and reflexology, the chakra system, Reiki and the Metamorphic Technique, acupressure, meridian work and Ayurvedic herbs, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Jin Shin Jyutsu®, LiberatingTouch®, and other energy medicine and energy psychology modalities, alongside anatomy and physiology, essential oils, spiritual development and spiritual healing. Through years of study and practical experience, Anita developed a deep understanding of how thoughts, emotions, trauma, environmental influences, and inherited patterns can affect overall wellbeing.

Each modality brought another layer of understanding, but her approach has never been about applying one technique to everyone. Instead, she draws intuitively from her many years of study and experience, meeting each person as the unique individual they are.

How she works

As an experienced holistic practitioner, Anita combines her extensive training with strong intuition and a deeply developed sense of awareness, to help identify the underlying causes of physical, emotional, and spiritual imbalance. Her approach is compassionate, personalised, and focused on creating meaningful, lasting change.

At the heart of her work is a belief that we are far more than our physical bodies: our experiences, emotions, energy and inner world are deeply interconnected. Rather than seeing herself as someone who simply fixes another person, Anita believes that healing is a journey of reconnection. Her role is to walk beside you, offering insight, guidance, encouragement and a safe space in which you can begin listening more deeply to your own inner wisdom, because beneath the layers of fear, hurt, conditioning and self-doubt, there is something beautiful that has never disappeared: your light.

Who she works with

Anita has a particular, heartfelt passion for supporting children and young people with special educational needs, including autism and ADHD, respecting each child's individuality, sensitivity and unique way of experiencing the world. She also works with clients navigating a wide variety of challenges and life transitions, including anxiety, trauma, stress, fertility journeys, smoking cessation, weight concerns, anger management, and emotional wellbeing.

Still learning

A lifelong researcher, educator, and mentor, Anita remains committed to expanding her knowledge. Her curiosity and love of learning continue to lead her into new areas of exploration, including her ongoing studies into trauma, emotional healing, and forgiveness, bringing the latest insights into her work with clients and students. She is passionate about teaching and empowering others with practical tools that support lasting transformation.

Whether you are seeking healing, personal growth, or greater balance in your life, Anita offers a safe and supportive space where you can reconnect with yourself, release what no longer serves you, and embrace your fullest potential. The journey is not about becoming someone new. It is about remembering the love, wisdom and light that have always been within you.

Why Amber Tree

At Amber Tree Health Centre, we believe that healing is a journey, not a destination. It is a journey of becoming aware, of listening to yourself more deeply, of understanding the connection between your emotional, mental, physical and spiritual wellbeing, and, perhaps most importantly, of remembering who you truly are.

A tree is both grounded and growing. Its roots reach deep into the earth, giving it strength and stability, while its branches continually reach towards the light. Through every season it changes, releases, renews and grows, yet its essence remains. We believe our own journey can be much the same: there are seasons for letting go, seasons for healing, seasons for growing, and seasons for simply being.

Amber Tree Health Centre is a place to reconnect with your roots, honour where you are, and gently grow towards your own light. You do not have to know exactly where the journey will take you. You only need to begin.

“Your journey. Your healing. Your remembering.”
