Success Stories
I’ve been lucky enough to have met some incredible individuals through my work and to have been part of their success in achieving their personal objectives.
Here are some kind words from some lovely people.
I first sought out Anousheh for nutritional advice in early 2016, to be healthier and get back in shape. After many years in a demanding and stressful job I was overweight, lethargic and generally felt suboptimal about myself.
Anousheh’s nutritional expertise, in combination with her empathy and positivity, provided me with confidence in her abilities from our very first consultation. Her ‘comprehensive and health improvement program’ that she tailored for my specific needs, with a focus on weight loss, was a fantastic success. With Anousheh’s personalised weekly nutritional support and advice, I lost over 16 kilos in five months. The weight loss and some adjustments to my busy lifestyle went hand in hand with feeling healthy, strong, fit and garnering far more enjoyment from all aspects of my life. Most importantly, over the last two and a half years I have managed to maintain the lifestyle changes, most of the weight loss and general sense of wellbeing.
I have recently returned to do some further work with Anousheh – I felt I was ready not only to lose the few remaining kilos but also to progress on my wellbeing journey by breaking away from the ‘diet mentality’ and adopting a long term sustainable lifestyle without keeping a daily food diary, counting calories or weighing food. With Anousheh’s patience, support and continued unwavering encouragement I have been following the LCHF (low carbs, healthy fats) program which is helping me overcome my various ‘food fears’ and allowing me to embrace a more relaxed and enjoyable eating regime – and surprise, surprise without any weight gain.
I have come a long way on my lifestyle journey and am indebted to Anousheh for her assistance to this end.

I have been a client of Anousheh St-Germain for over 10 years. On all counts I have found her to be extremely well organised, professional and a skilled practitioner who is capable of producing very effective results.
I was impressed on my first visit to Anousheh in the way she was organised to acquire and record all relevant information for my file. This was alone by means of a clear yet thorough questionnaire as well as being asked various supplementary questions. All answers were recorded on my client file. This was achieved in a thorough manner which did not feel intrusive. When I subsequently walked in to have my first massage, I felt confident that Anousheh knows enough about me as an individual to be able to provide a massage that addressed my needs.
In all subsequent visits, Anousheh’s ability to monitor and respond to my needs has been a mark of her professionalism. She listens to what I have to say and asks pertinent questions to clarify the situation. She subsequently explains how she will address these issues raised in the treatment. In later appointments which may not occur for a period of weeks or months, Anousheh always asks about symptoms/issues discussed in previous visits. This reflects her diligence in maintaining clear and updated client profiles.
One aspect of the quality of service that Anousheh provides is her ability to provide clear and pragmatic advice on exercises/activities to help alleviate certain symptoms. I have been to quite a few massage therapists over the years and am used to being advised to carry out various stretching and exercise regimes. While very valid suggestions, the reality is that I rarely, if ever, followed through with them due to leading a very full and demanding professional and personal life. Anousheh, while gently encouraging me to carry out similar exercises, has also made very pragmatic suggestions as to how to do this within the normal daily routine. As a result, I have found myself doing more supplementary exercises than I have with any other therapist.
Finally, but by no means least, the quality of Anousheh’s massage is among the best that I have ever received. I know that when I get onto the massage table, Anousheh is going to provide an extremely effective massage that is meeting my needs. I also appreciate her gentle way of informing what she is doing as she goes along.
As a testament to Anousheh’s skill, I have no qualms in recommending her to friends and work colleagues. This has resulted in at least three of my work colleagues becoming part of Anousheh’s client base.
It is with great pleasure that I provide this testament to such a skilled professional.

I have been a client of Anousheh’s practice at Dulwich Hill for over 10 years. From my very first visit, Anousheh made me feel comfortable, secure and entirely safe with her skills as a masseuse. Because my initial visits were for basic pain management, she was always very attentive to my changing physical condition and would always consult with me at the start of any treatment.
When I became pregnant, I continued massages and again, my treatment was adjusted to suit my changes and Anousheh enacted these with both care and sensitivity. She also kept a great record of my past injuries and areas of concern, following up at each appointment, no matter how much time had elapsed since my last appointment.
I am a continuing client of Anousheh’s and have recommended many friends and family to her, even taking my one-year-old son for baby massage (which he enjoyed). I would heartily endorse her skills to anyone in need of massage therapy because she has the rare combination of professional attitude, depth of knowledge, competent skills and a very engaging manner.
