What is Zenthai Shiatsu?
Zenthai Shiatsu is a holistic therapy integrating Zen Shiatsu, Traditional Thai Massage and Osteopathic techniques. It is an effective structural and energetic form of bodywork that invites freedom into the body, releasing areas of held tension, and increasing the flow of energy.
What to Expect
Zenthai Shiatsu is a hands-on movement based therapy incorporating stretching, pulsing, rocking and stillness. This modality is received fully clothed and lying on a thin, cushioned massage mat on the floor. The session is tailored to each individual’s needs and can be offered as relaxation or a therapy with a specific focus.

Client Testimonials
“During my session with Christine, I experienced a beautiful cycle of movement - feedback - application. I came to her for nagging hip pain and lower back pain and found the Zenthai Shaitsu method to be very beneficial. I know Christine to be professional, knowledgeable and caring and I trust you will experience the same. She really is gifted and has an excellent reputation on the Sunshine Coast.”
Matt Jermyn, Yoga Therapist
“Christine has a sincere and gentle presence which made me feel welcome and safe. This allowed me to fully relax and get the most out of my treatment. Her knowledge of the body is extensive and my treatments were specialised and adapted. Christine worked meticulously on all the unique places of need in my body. In all my years of getting bodywork, no one has connected as well to my body’s needs as Christine did. My many questions were answered with ease and patience, which I greatly appreciated. She gave me valuable care advice after the treatment too. I felt freedom in my joints and muscles and left nurtured and zenned out. I can’t wait for my next treatment.”
Kym Young, Personal Hairdresser
“I have been getting regular massages from Christine for a few months now. I really appreciate the sensitive and caring touch she provides. Her knowledge and sense of wholeness of the body really shines through her massages, and she has really helped me with my hip and shoulder issues. I have left every session in a state of bliss and total relaxation. I am so grateful of this special full bodywork and can’t recommend her enough.”
