What is Zenthai Shiatsu?

 

Hanami Zenthai offers Zenthai Shiatsu massage, a bodywork therapy that integrates  primary aspects and traditions of Zen Shiatsu, Thai massage and remediation techniques of osteopathy.  

Underlined by Traditional Chinese Medicine's knowledge of the body's meridians and acupressure points, Zenthai Shiatsu focuses on good health and vitality via a movement based therapy embodying the art of zen and connection. 

Approaching the body as a full system, common conditions that Zenthai addresses include:

  • Postural imbalances
  • Lower back, neck, shoulder and arm pain
  • Leg, ankle and foot pain
  • Improving energy
  • Digestive issues
  • Reducing symptoms of headaches
  • The immune system
  • Menopausal symptoms
  • Improving mental health and general sense of wellbeing

 

Everyone is unique. Zenthai sessions are tailored to your needs. Techniques include physical movement on a mat, and optional cupping and moxibustion.

Aspects of Zenthai

 

Zenthai Shiatsu Bodywork

 

Integrating the primary aspects of the traditions of Zen Shiatsu, Thai massage and the remediation techniques of osteopathy, Zenthai has evolved to be widely recognised as an effective structural and energetic form of therapy.

The treatment is on a mat on the floor, cushions are used for your comfort and support. 

Restore harmony within your body and mind.

 

Moxibustion (Moxa)

 

Acupressure therapy is worked into all treatments. Relieving pain, stress and unblocking energy,  acupressure is similar to acupuncture,  using fingers to apply pressure instead of needles to work the point. 

Moxibustion (or Moxa) entails the burning of mugwort leaves over acupressure points to strengthen the blood, stimulate the flow of qi, and maintain overall health. Moxa is optional and treatments are planned and agreed with clients.

Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnosis

Each massage session start with a diagnosis including reading the pulse, observing the tongue and sensing the Hara.  Insights include both long and short term imbalances, with the goal to bring each element and organ function into balance.

Diagnosis and verbal consultation with clients aligns the treatment intention, which is tailored to each person's needs.

Meet Robyn

 

Hanami Zenthai's therapist is Robyn Webster

I'm excited to be a qualified Zenthai practitioner graduating from the 9 month training in December 2024. Zenthai rolls all my physical and healing experiences for mind/body/spirit wellbeing into one incredible modality, embodying creativity, intuition and sensitivity.

I'm driven to make a positive impact in this lifetime. After many years in a desk job for creative agencies, I was drawn to Zenthai because of the way sessions I receive make me feel: nourished, grounded and the ability to let go.  For me it's more than a massage or treatment, it's about people, connection, healing. 

With a highly personalised focus for each Zenthai massage treatment, I'm committed to helping you achieve balance and harmony within your body, emotional wellbeing and spirit-connection.

Do you do home visits?

While my preference is to do Zenthai treatments in my dedicated space, I undestand that is not always possible or a preference. Therefore I do offer home visit treatments. The space requirements are a clear area a bit larger than a king-sized matress. 

Depending on how far away you are located, to cover my time and fuel costs, I do ask an addional $20-$50 - when you contact me, we will confirm the final price.

“I have had many sessions with Robyn and all have been excellent. She is very thorough in checking my medical history, and stresses, and she tailors each session clearly to what I need on that day. I have sleeping issues, but I always have a great night's sleep after a treatment.  

Recently, Robyn focused on a neck issue that had been bothering me for many months; a few months now after the treatment, the issue has not returned.  

Robyn is very caring and nurturing.

I would have no hesitation in recommending her Zenthai treatments to anyone. ”

Hanami represents a deep-seated appreciation for the fleeting beauty of nature... a time when friends and families gather, to reflect on the ephemeral beauty of life mirrored in the cherry blossoms.
