Zenthai Shiatsu
Zenthai shiatsu is a deeply restorative blend of thai massage, zen shiatsu and osteopathy. Founded by Gwyn Williams, this style of practice has become incredibly popular in the passed decade with students flocking from around the globe to the Sunshine Coast of Australia to embark on this one of a kind therapist training.
I studied with Gwyn under the gumtrees with the kangaroos and kookaburra in 2012. The practice of Zenthai shiatsu opened me to relaxation and connection in a way no other bodywork had. The practice is intimate and down to earth. As is traditional to Thai and shiatsu massage, zenthai shiatsu is a clothed massaged on a thin futon on the ground. The close proximity with the earth along with the various relaxed gestures of contact invite the client into co-regulation with the system of the therapist and the surrounding environment. Co-regulation / nervous system support, relaxation and the generation / redirection of chi (vital life energy) are the main premise in my practice.
Perfect for burnout, fatigue, overwhelm, emotion regulation, anxiety, depression.
