What is Zenthai Shiatsu?
Focused intention.
When you touch one thing with deep awareness you touch everything

Blood, Ki and nerves form the foundations of our bodies internal pathways. Your local doctor may refer to arterial flow or nerve pathways whilst your alternative health practitioner may refer to it as ‘the river of life that ensures good health and vitality.’
When this is obstructed through emotional or physical trauma, postural imbalances or external invasion of pathogens, the natural healing mechanisms of our body is challenged and the ‘free flowing river’ often stagnates. The result is pain, low energy and a general loss of the feeling of well being. The body is needing support.
Zenthai shiatsu addresses the needs by drawing on the Traditional Energetic based systems of Zen Shiatsu, Traditional Thai Massage and the remediation techniques of Osteopathy. 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 effective dealing with issues of the musculo-skeletal, digestive and nervous system.

What to Expect
Each session is performed on a futon style mat (on the floor) and tailor made to the clients needs. Zenthai Shiatsu is performed on the client fully clothed. This is not an oil massage, but a massage treatment using pressure points, gentle stretches and mobilisation all to support alignment and harmony within both the structural and energetic body.
Briefly speaking, Zenthai draws on…
• Zen shiatsu and Traditional Chinese medicine. Think acupuncture without needles (cupping, moxibustion and lifestyle/food advice may be included in the session).
• Traditional Thai massage, releasing muscular tension and energetic blockages.
• Osteopathic techniques, including joint mobilisation, connective tissue patterns and fascia unwinding.

Client Testimonials
Sally is a warm hearted, sensitive, open and well trained practitioner; I received her treatment within a relaxing environment which helped calm my mind. Sally was very intuitive with her healing and I really felt like I was in good hands, so I was able to surrender and allow my muscles and nerves in my neck to heal and realign. Zenthai shiatsu is just as much the patients responsibility for healing as it is for the practitioner and I felt like I was able to relax and let go of my pain and disharmony in my body, whilst Sally helped me to realign to a more harmonious and balanced state. I would definitely recommend booking a session with Sally and encourage everyone to experience this beautiful and effective technique.

I have known Sally for several years having attended her yoga classes and recently I had a Zenthai healing treatment. It was amazing and I felt the healing continue over days. Sally is a beautiful spirit and is so intuitive with the work she is doing. I loved it so much I took my mother in law to her also, she is 80 years old. She loved it and we can’t wait for our next treatment. Keep shining bright Sally, you are awesome.
