My name is Anette. I came into this world in the Netherlands, moved to the UK when I was 24, and now live with my husband and cats in the Jura hills in Northwest Switzerland. We are fortunate enough to have a 120 year-old house and a large garden space with mature trees. I feel honoured to be their guardian.

I have always been interested in personal development, but my journey started deepening when I was asked in 2005, "what is your purpose"? I was quite clear quite soon, but somehow 'loving life' die not feel lofty enough and so I started on a long journey of seeking meaning. I attended meditation retreats, trained as a coach, developed my drum healing and shamanic practice and continued to make art throughout. At work, I developed as an organisation development specialist which includes significant leadership and team coaching experience
