Testimonials

Her expertise and dedication have not only enhanced my memory retention but also guided me towards becoming a more proficient professional person at my work. Her assistance has been invaluable, and I am deeply appreciative of her contributions to my personal and professional growth.

From my first appointment, I felt assured knowing that I was in very capable hands. Her positive attitude and innovative outlook helped me to stay motivated towards my own progress. She acknowledged the goals that I wanted to achieve from the therapy and helped me to make them a reality.

Annine is toegewyd, sy is vriendelik en doelgerig. My seun het na ‘n tragiese ongeluk by haar opgeëindig en sy was vir ons net ‘n wins. Sy het hom moed in gepraat en was daar vir ons wanneer dit moeilik was. Dankie vir jou omgee.

Annine treated me with poor memory issues and put me on to medical computer games. That made a huge difference bringing me back to my previous memory ability. She was also very informative about what we were dealing with which was very interesting and helpful.

A comfortable place, I was injured at work, it was easy for me to talk about my injury. The steps we went through open the gates of belief that I can go back to work on my own feet. I'm grateful for all the assistance throughout my journey of returning to work. I am fully back to employment thanks to Annine the best occupation therapist.

My hand therapist was is brilliant. She was very professional, challenging and also very friendly. I went to see her following a bad fracture of my left wrist and thanks to her assistance I managed to recover full mobility of my left wrist! I definitely recommend her.
