Focused intention therapy

Zenthai Shiatsu is the art of movement-based bodywork therapy. Creatively and intuitively drawing on Japanese Shiatsu, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Thai style massage and Osteopathic techniques, this unique movement therapy is a dance of wisdom. Created on the Sunshine Coast, ZenThai is as unique as you are. Utilising the oriental practices of Cupping, Moxibustion and Herbal Poultice Body Work, these tools from around the body aim to enable your own restoration processes. The dance of ZenThai Shiatsu brings movement & mobility back into the body, with a touch of serenity.

Heart based body work

​

When blood stagnates in the body, it can present itself in all kinds of ways. Slow digestion, mental fatigue, stiff joints, swelling, inflammation and pain to name a few. By bringing movement into the body and especially the nerves surrounding the spinal chord, the body can begin to flush and heal itself. In ZenThai, we do this through a method of 'no force', and entraining a relaxed nervous system with yours. The body is intelligent but needs support at times. When life force is obstructed, we lose the free flow of vitality. ZenThai Shiatsu address the body holistically, freeing up deep emotional and physical trauma, addressing postural imbalances, aiding in the body's defences against the invasion of pathogens, training the fascia to unwind, releasing connective tissue patterning, mobilising joints, and easing up muscular tension. When we address the physical body, we also touch the energetic and emotional aspects of the self. Following the meridian system and energetics of Traditional Chinese Medicine acts as a catalyst for deeper internal shifts, whilst addressing injuries and pain in the form.

​

By the integration of the prime aspects of the modalities and the creation of a safe, awake and caring healing environment, Zenthai has evolved to be widely recognised as an effective structural and energetic form of therapy.

This is movement based therapy with a reputation of effectively dealing with issues of the musculo-skeletal , digestive and nervous system.

 

Common conditions that are addressed include:

• Lower back, neck and shoulder pain

• Digestive complaints

• Joint mobilisation

• Energy depletion

• Immune system support

• Recovery from injuries

• Sleep issues & headaches
   

I also offer the movement as a therapy based class integrating yoga asana, functional movement and Chinese Medicine. Check out my ZenThai Flow classes & workshops.
