Annemarie joined the Through Life Physiotherapy in September 2021. After a journey with her family coming from The Netherlands to Australia, she is really happy to be part of our team.

She was born and raised in The Netherlands and after she qualified as a physiotherapist in 2006 she backpacked around Australia. On her return to The Netherlands she started working at a private practice where she has worked for over 13 years. She is excited to be starting a new chapter of her life in Australia.

Annemarie has extensive experience with exercise rehabilitation groups, musculoskeletal work, vestibular problems and all sorts of chronic physical complaints. Her passion is helping people with chronic pain and long lasting  physical  issues so they can understand and cope with the dysfunctions in their body. She has done a three year Masters in this specialised area of chronic pain physiotherapy. We are thrilled to have her skills at Through Life Physiotherapy.

In The Netherlands she was one of the only specialists trained in vestibular problems and rehabilitation in the region. She did several courses and practised alongside the local ENT- doctor. As a young mum she also can relate to all physical issues in Women's Health, which helps her relate to other women. Annemarie brings exemplary professional skills as well as a warm friendly spirit, caring for and connecting with each of her patients.

Annemarie has chosen to come to Australia for the adventure and to live her life to the fullest. She is excited to enjoy the space, a different, more balanced lifestyle and the beautiful nature and weather. She loves exploring the country and taking the kids to the beach. As a real Dutchy she likes cycling and having everything closeby. That's why she moved to Warragul.

Annemarie is looking forward to meeting many new people and starting her Australian life as a physiotherapist with Through Life Physiotherapy.
