Almost a decade of sharing this 4 day foundational Zenthai Course, and I’m in love with this offering more than ever. 🌿🙌🏽

There is something magic about witnessing group after group rise up, soften, and deepen their connection through healing touch and courageous hearts. We can’t wait to hold space for this next cohort!
We already have 9 spots filled!

This Zenthai container is about exploring exceptional bodywork technique… and so much more.

The offering is three fold:

• 1. Bodywork Mastery: Learn a 1.5-hour bodywork sequence evolved over 25 years of practice, seamlessly weaving Yoga Asana, Zen Shiatsu (TCM), Traditional Thai Massage, and Osteopathic techniques.

• 2. Open-Hearted Community: Tap into the richness and depth that happens when we devote four full days to leaning into community together.

• 3. Deep Self-Discovery: A widening of perspective. A quiet invitation to question, unravel, and grieve the old stories you no longer need. Nothing is as it seems, everything is the way you see it!

Deep bow to Zenthai founder, our teacher and dear friend Gwyn Williams (Gwyn Williams).. we get to do this!
✨

📅 Dates: August 20–23
📍 Location: Our beloved Shed Dojo in Beaconsfield, VIC (Options available to stay onsite)
With Sal and Yuta
⏰ Early Bird Ends: August 6

In 2012, Yuta and I collided on an Acroyoga mat. We were just looking for some connection, flow, and a bit of adventure. We had no idea we were actually building the foundations for the co-creation of our life.

Fast forward 14 years to today, and that practice of trust, communication, and lifting each other up looks a little different.
Now, it looks like: two beautiful kids, running a heart-centered business side-by-side, sharing the healing art of Zenthai Shiatsu, and guiding groups of legends on our annual retreats to Japan.

We stumbled across this old photo of us doing Acroyoga (swipe across)and it hit us just how much the principles of that practice have carried us.

You can’t hold someone up without a strong base. You can’t find flow without listening. Big growth happens when we meet the adventure of our edges 🎢

Life is often stretching our capacity these days, and we have a tendency for it to get messy as we are pushed beyond our edge of comfort … Yuta and I feel extremely blessed to dance between base, flyer and copilot in this wild, beautiful life.

Here’s to many more years of magic together.

What started as a YES to adventure changed our entire world. Trust the journey, you never know where one ‘yes’ will take you.

Drop a ❤️ if you remember us from the early days, or if you’ve joined us on this crazy ride since!

We are home… surrounded by the kids toys, never ending to do list, and family chaos… there is always time for a little healing and connection 🌿 A husband offering his wife a much needed Zenthai tune up right in the middle of the playroom..

Or maybe you’re at Yandina market tomorrow (Saturday)… dancing the social catch ups with your weekly grocery mission.. are you feeling called to a little healing and connection? Because guess what? This husband(Yuta) will be there ready to offer you a zenthai tune up in the middle of the market.

Walk-ins are welcome, but slots generally fill up fast. Yuta has availabilities from 730am. Send us a message to secure a specific time, or just wander on over to the Zenthai stall after grabbing your morning coffee and veggies.

See you there! 🌿✨

What does it mean to truly listen to the body… to sit with the inquiry “what is life asking of me?” 🌿

That’s the question the 2026 Zenthai Class has been tuning into at the Shed Dojo here in Victoria. We are officially two modules into our 9-month therapist training, and we’ve just wrapped up our first Elements class.
In Element 1, we shift our focus from just physical touch to deep, energetic alignment.
Through exploring and embodying 5 Elements, we bring the macrocosm of nature into our own being.
We look at diagnostic tools, how the tongue and pulse provide maps of stories held in our bodies.
We learn how to support true harmony and flow using meridians and acu points.

These photos capture the essence of our weekend… moments of deep stillness, dynamic movement, and the beautiful, supportive community we are building.

It’s an honour to be walking (and crawling on the mats!) alongside these beautiful souls.

A Love Letter from the Mountain ⛰️
It’s been two weeks since we wrapped up the Zenthai leadership training at Mt Ninderry, and my heart is still vibrating with the bhav we tapped into together.

At Ninderry, the land is alive… filled with the scent of crushed eucalyptus, the meditative flow of yoga and Qi Gong, the grounding dance of the bodywork… the bursts of laughter, heart felt sharings and hum of story telling weaving through the trees and along the creek.
To the students who showed up with such open hearts, thank you for the dance. 👐✨

I’ve been struck by a profound sense of full circle. It hit me that I’ve been alongside in this teaching space for ten years now. There is something deeply moving about returning to the mountain and feeling the weight of a decade’s cycle… the way we’ve evolved, yet remained rooted in the same pulse of the work.
Witnessing new and seasoned leaders emerge in the same place where we have both poured and sparked so much inspiration over the last ten years feels like a completion and a beginning all at once. Master Gwynny .. beloved teacher and trusted friend.. thank you for being such a steadfast companion in this work. It’s a true honor to share the mat, the teachings, and the mountain with you.

Thanks .natural.therapies and for gracefully supporting the container 🙇‍♀️

Thanks for the music 🙌🏽
And for the postcard captures 📸

“Forget your perfect offering. There is a crack, a crack in everything. That’s how the light gets in.”
— Leonard Cohen

When we bring the illumination of our loving awareness to the “cracks” - our broken parts become pathways for growth and wisdom.

like Kintsugi…. mended with gold. The light doesn’t just “get in” through the cracks… it stays there and glows.

Thanks for capturing this snippet of story time by the fire at Ninderry 🎥 🔥 ⛰️

5 Zenthai-inspired acupoints for the season of exhaustion and over-stimulation. 🌿

From our Zenthai Shiatsu practice we know that exhaustion isn’t just “tiredness”—it’s a depletion of Qi and often an overloading of the Liver and Kidney meridians. As parents, with teething baby, running a business and travelling a lot, hosting groups for trainings and retreats, we’ve gathered some great simple tools to support our nervous system - especially when the sleep dep is hitting hard 😮‍💨

Here are 5 points you can use on yourself, and share with your people, to create a little space and support in a weary body:

Slide 2: BUBBLING SPRING
Kidney 1 (Yongquan).
When life is loud and your head is spinning, press the center of your sole. It pulls your energy out of the “clouds” and back into the Earth. 🌏

Slide 3: GREAT SURGE
Liver 3 (Taichong).
*contraindicated in pregnancy*
For the “short fuse” days. This point moves stagnant Qi. If you feel stuck or frustrated, massage this valley between your big and second toe. 🌊

Slide 4: 3 MILE POINT
Stomach 36 (Zusanli).
Your “extra mile” point. When you’re running on empty, this builds your digestive fire and physical vitality. 🔋

Slide 5: INNER PASS
Pericardium 6 (Neiguan).
The nervous system reset. Hold this point on your inner wrist to soften the chest and calm a racing heart. 💓
