Listening to the deeper pulse

What is Zenthai Shiatsu?

Conscious movement and touch therapy grounded in natures rhythm.

Zenthai Shiatsu. Blending Traditional Thai Massage, Zen Shiatsu Therapy and Osteopathy, Zenthai Shiatsu is an ancient yet modern holistic therapy. Pulling heavily from Chinese 5 Element Theory of energy flow, the underlying principles are based on tuning to life force signatures in the body and mind. The bodywork itself is like a meditative dance, lulling you into a parasympathetic state of surrender so that underlying facets of your being can manifest themselves. It works on the principle “you are your best Doctor”; with deep listening you reveal the gold within your centre.

Offering Zenthai Shiatsu Therapy Treatments from the comfort of your own home, or in my dedicated treatment space on Mt Ninderry. I also offer private/corporate yoga sessions, and you can find me teaching at various studios on the Sunshine Coast.

Meet your Therapist

Experience you can trust

As a registered yoga teacher, I've completed extensive training in a variety of practices, including Zenthai Shiatsu Therapy (500-hour Therapist), Vinyasa, and Mindful Yoga. My journey into yoga began as a way to heal a broken femur, but it quickly became something far greater—a path to profound energetic shifts and a deep curiosity for holistic wellness.

I grew up on the lush, green shores of Ireland’s Emerald Isle and now consider the stunning Sunshine Coast my home. Along with being a passionate surfer, photographer, fly fisherman, and explorer, I’ve always been drawn to nature and the flow of energy that connects all living things. This fascination led me to earn a Master’s degree in Ecology, where I explored the rhythms and interconnectedness of biological systems—the Dao in action.

Yoga has been a catalyst for both physical healing and spiritual awakening. As I dove deeper into various modalities, I found my calling in teaching—after all, they say the best way to learn is to teach! My practice expanded even further when I discovered Zenthai Shiatsu Therapy. After experiencing my first treatment at a festival, I was struck by the powerful, shared pulse between myself and the therapist. Intrigued, I trained directly with the modality's founder, Gwyn Williams, and am now honored to share this healing art with others.

When I’m not practicing yoga or Zenthai Shiatsu, I practice in the sustainable food production sector, working to support eco-conscious approaches to living and nourishing our planet.

What can you expect from a Zenthai Shiatsu Session?

Open listening and diagnostics

Explore your inner world as we look at how the Chinese 5 elements present in your life. Whether it is a physical ailment or emotional blockage needing released, let’s drop in and explore. All information is treated with the strictest of confidence and empathy. Pre-treatment consultations usually last 15 minutes for a 2 hour session, and less for shorter sessions (and included in the allocated time). This is usually followed by a 15 minute debrief, or a follow up message/phone call.

Bodywork

Fall deeper into yourself as we move through the many gestures of Zenthai Shiatsu. It is a smooth flowing sequence of manoeuvres, much like the experience of a gentle yoga class, except you can entirely let go as the practitioner takes control. It is sometimes referred to as “Lazy Yoga. Treatment sessions are tailored to your specific requirements, meaning they may vary from appointment to appointment. It is practiced as a floor style and fully clothed.

Personal Exploration

The rest is up to you. After all, you are the best Doctor, therapist and personal trainer. Whilst the physical treatment provides wonderful therapy, the real therapy happens in your own time. Start listening to the gold inside yourself. Guidance from Chinese 5 Element theory will help the exploration.
