About Annette

Hi, I'm Annette, acupuncturist and naturopathic therapist for animals, actually much more than that. But for convenience and clarity, I'll briefly summarize it in these 2 professional groups. Because I now work with so many different therapies, including:

Acupuncture, Chinese -and Western herbs, Osteopathy, Craniosacral, Orthomolecular, Homeopathy, various flower therapies and Naturopathy. In addition, one of my specialties is nutrition for both humans and animals and I am a certified Integral Orthomolecular Nutrition Therapist for dogs and cats.

After having had a practice in Zeewolde for more than 25 years, where I mainly treated people, but also dogs and horses, I made a switch 8 years ago to only treat animals. I can therefore be found on Tuesdays and Fridays at the Centre for Alternative Animal Medicine in Amsterdam, where I work together with two veterinarians and a homeopath.

In a treatment, I start from the individual animal and his/her personal weaknesses. In my practice, I also regularly choose the combination of both regular and non-regular means. Partly due to the training in pharmacology, I can well assess the effects and effectiveness of the various medicines and herbs prescribed by doctors/specialists.

Background and education

TCM Acupuncture and Nutrition/ Orthomolecular/ Western medicine at the Academy for Naturopathy in Hilversum (5-year program)

With the electives:  Naturopathy, Homeopathy, Phytotherapy, Iridoscopy

The following short courses were followed: Osteopathy for dogs and horses, Chinese herbs, Western herbs, Medical Basic Knowledge, Pharmacology and Lecher antenna.

With the Lecher antenna I measure through tissues and organs, among other things. In combination with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), this forms a way to come up with a complete treatment plan.

In addition, I have developed my own (TCM-inspired) herb line, which has also been available in our webshop for a few years now. With the CBD oil and CBD Spain oil specifically, I have 15 years of practical experience. I am probably the only one in the Netherlands/world who has collected so much case studies for animals. And know when to use which full-spectrum plant-identical CBD Spain oil for which disease in animals. You can contact me for advice on CBD Spain oil for animals (dogs, cats, horses, rabbits etc) and the many questions there are about the use of this oil in combination with regular medication. Otherwise, also read my blog: Full Spectrum CBDa: an unlikely pivot in recovery processes in humans and animals.

My passion for animals runs like a red thread through my life. Since 2012, I have been one of the driving forces behind various sterilization projects and the establishment of a sterilization clinic (2025) in Romania. In addition, I am involved in the adoption and placement of foreign dogs. In this context, I am often called in for both physical complaints and behavioral problems. I personally have 6 foreign dogs running around as housemates.

"It is special how things go in life and my sister Christine and I found each other in a new collaboration through the establishment of CBD & Herb. We both feel a great need to share our years of naturopathic knowledge and experience with others. And especially to inspire therapists/professionals to provide tools alongside their existing practice, so that the possibilities of health and healing can be used even more broadly. What ultimately is only in the interest of every person and animal, that is what I do it for"
