Massage Therapy training came in naturally to supplement Anyes' own interest and practice, incorporating Shiatsu and Swedish techniques. Learning musculature, release points and correct body alignment has been a great asset to Anyes' work along with Naturopaths and Chiropractors over the years. In 2001, Anyes opened her own Dance School 'Twilight Dreams' in Albany, Western Australia, where she teaches dance, yoga and pilates and she also offers Massage and Beauty Therapy, healing therapies such as ColourPuncture, Cranial-Sacral, Reiki and Polarity.
