Antoinette Retief

Antoinette Retief is a qualified Massage Therapist and Body Alignment Practitioner serving clients in the Strand and greater Helderberg area. With a lifelong passion for helping people feel better in their bodies, she brings extensive hands-on experience, professional expertise, and a genuine commitment to supporting her clients' wellbeing.

After spending ten years in the media industry, Antoinette felt called to a more meaningful path focused on health and healing. She qualified as a Home-Based Carer before furthering her studies in Holistic Massage, Deep Tissue Massage, and Sports Massage, earning internationally recognised ITEC qualifications in each discipline. Her expertise led her to work aboard cruise ships, where she gained valuable experience treating clients from diverse backgrounds while travelling the world.

Antoinette's journey into Body Alignment began after experiencing its benefits firsthand. Inspired by the results, she trained under Janet Yates and incorporated the technique into her practice, complementing her extensive massage therapy background.

Drawing on her knowledge of muscular health, body mechanics, and holistic wellness, Antoinette understands that pain, tension, and postural imbalances often develop over time. She takes a holistic approach, supporting the body as a whole rather than focusing solely on symptoms.

Body Alignment sessions are fully clothed, non-invasive, and designed to help release muscular tension, improve alignment, support nerve flow and circulation, and encourage the body's natural healing processes. Antoinette ensures that every client feels comfortable and supported throughout their treatment journey.

Whether you are seeking relief from pain, recovering from physical strain, managing long-standing discomfort, or maintaining your overall wellbeing, Antoinette is dedicated to helping you move, feel, and function at your best.
