Abby Bowyer

~ Zenthai Shiatsu Therapist ~ based around Gympie and northern Sunshine Coast

ph :: 0448 958 504
e :: abbybowyer2809@gmail.com

Abby has always been drawn to movement-based and hands-on therapies. An explorer of creative expression through the hands and the heart, her background in dance and theatre fuelled her curiosity; for how the human body moves; and how we express ourselves within the world.

Through studying various massage therapies and meeting inspiring mentors along the way, Zenthai Shiatsu fell ease-fully into her awareness and to her heart. Abby fell in love with the space Zenthai offers to connect on a deeper level and to witness and support the body’s innate ability to heal.

Forever a student she is always looking to dive deeper into bodywork, and how we as human beings can connect to the people and world around us through movement, through massage and through loving touch.

WHERE CAN I FIND ABBY?

You can find Abby around the Gympie and North Sunshine Coast areas. She currently offers massage and movement classes within various retreat spaces, and can often be found practicing within different clinics and yoga studios. Phone or email to make an appointment.

ABBY SAYS…

“Movement has always felt like my first ‘language’. A language that can express all that is felt within us and outside of us. When words are unable to convey what is alive, movement can communicate that which cannot be spoken.

Bodywork is such a wonderful supporter in this conversation; as it becomes a dance between the giver and receiver, communicating through movement and through touch.

I will always remember the first time I came across Zenthai Shiatsu. After hearing whispers and heartfelt tales, my curiosity was alive and I felt the pull to discover more. It truly was a ‘pull’; a gravitational pull, causing me to slow, to stop and witness this beautiful dance that was happening right before my eyes. It was an incredible collective of movement, presence, intention and focus within the treatment tent at Woodford Folk Festival. This language felt familiar, almost like coming home, and offered the space to have deeper conversations with others and with myself.

For me, Zenthai offers many gifts; through its threads and through its approaches to supporting the body’s own innate ability to heal and evolve. It offers opportunities for acts of courage; to dive into the courage it takes to break old patterns and create a new dance and rhythm within ourselves. Taking a moment of time within the momentum of life to pause, observe and find new space and possibilities within your whole being.

Zenthai is a practice and a constant source of teachings and discovery. I have deep respect for its ever evolving nature and its heart centred approach to living, wellness and cultivating relationship and vitality.”

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING…

“In meeting Abby Bowyer it is immediately apparent that words like; gentle, kind, compassionate, caring, engaging come to mind. All the benevolent qualities right there looking at you.

This becomes even more evident when Abby engages with you in conversation with a friendly warm smile & absolutely beams through in her work as a ZenThai Shiatsu practitioner.

A ZenThai Shiatsu session is not easy to describe though incredible to experience. Personally I felt understood & cared for and felt Abby was beautifully in tune with working with what I needed each session. Always feeling more balanced, more spacious & deeply relaxed after each session. Like I’d received the most giant uplifting hug.

Abby’s love & connection to others & her passion for sharing her craft fuses together to create an incredible healing experience.

So grateful for you Abby.”

– Trudi Hellmuth- Owner/Yoga Teacher at My Yoga Studio

“I have had Bodywork with Abby over several years and every time is a new and nourishing experience. Her gentle strength allows me to go deep and her nurturing energy creates a safe space for me to breathe in awareness, open and release all that is no longer needed. It is always an honour to dance with Abby either on the Zenthai mat or on the Ka Huna table”

ABHI SAYS…

“I received my first Zenthai treatment at Woodford Folk Festival and experienced an incredible sense of peace and coming home. The power of present touch rippled through my limbs, my mind and touched my soul. I have dedicated my life and time to this art since then.

With a background in dance and performance, Zenthai has become the expression for me to dance with life itself.

There is nothing to fix in a session, my intention is to give complete love to what is real and alive for my clients at the time, and offer possibility, potential and curiosity for new ways of moving, thinking, seeing and being.

What does the poetry of 5 element theory, the precision of Zen Shiatsu and the unbridled nature of Thai massage have to offer you? I welcome you to come dance with me.”

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING:

“Yoga has been with me for half of my life. Along the way I’ve had different teachers, each offering lessons to help improve health and well-being. Some have focused on the physical and on fitness; some on the meditation aspect; a few have been broader in focus, encompassing mind, body and spirit.

When Abhi’s journey met mine, I knew something special had happened. I knew then that her Zenthai sessions and classes would nurture and support me, like so many of us in our little community. She provides a safe, supportive place to learn, to stretch, balance and sustain postures, to relax and be at peace with like-minded people. She has guided and helped me to build up strength and focus in my body and mind and spirit. I recognise in Alyce her training in the skills in healing, but I see an intuitive healer as well. She can assist in correction of imbalances in the physical, mental, and spiritual layers of the self. Alyce is a loving and dedicated practitioner, so becoming a client of hers will be one of the wisest decisions you will make, take it from me!”

I really appreciate that Abhi caters each session to my needs and what has currently been happening for me in life. She has so much knowledge and intuition to provide exactly what I need and always shares additional wisdom that I can take into my everyday life to continue to support myself. Thank you so much Abhi!

Address: Sunshine Coast

Adam has an innate capacity for listening to others and supporting their journey – the mind, body and spirit – thanks to his past experiences with chronic health concerns and many years of community work in Brisbane, Mexico, and Zambia. Adam has an extensive knowledge of Western biomedicine, Eastern medicine, and reflective belief structures such as Buddhism, Taoism, and Shamanism.

Where can I find ADAM?

Adam’s Zenith Holistic Healing practice is in Red Hill, Brisbane. The treatment space is clean, calming, filled with plants, with a therapeutic atmosphere and energy that’s conducive to healing. For clients who are unable to journey to his Red Hill practice, Adam offers mobile treatments. He also operates a stall at several markets around central Brisbane and loves a good chat.

ADAM says…

“My desire to aid others in their healing journey is rooted in my own healing journey. I have experienced several chronic health conditions including epilepsy, anxiety, and a rare life-threatening cardiovascular disease. Overcoming these experiences has empowered me, enabling me to connect with others on truly empathetic levels.

The healing I have found extends across numerous avenues of mind, body, heart and spirit, and includes biomedical interventions, yoga, tai chi, meditation, philosophic inquiry, and spiritual journeying.

My belief in helping others has led me to many forms of social support work, including aid work with homeless and abused women, ESL teaching with Brisbane-based asylum seekers, and children and adults in rural Zambia and Mexico, student mentoring and general assistance at Buddhist temples and yoga institutions.

I am an artist and musician and thoroughly enjoy using these mediums to help others heal, while also invoking in them joy and creative self exploration. The personal insights that can come from these mediums can be truly profound. Indeed, we are not isolated beings, rather we are intrinsically fused to the physical and spiritual universe around us.“

“Calming and relaxing atmosphere, Adam is a great therapist, caring, understanding and a really good listener.”

Robyn – Retired nurse

“Adam is an amazing therapist and healer. I suffered from severe pain in my lower back and shoulders until I started therapy with Adam. His therapy has become a must for me.”

A lifetime of curiosity in movement, Aidyn has a strong and earthy presence which he offers through his sessions.

WHERE CAN I FIND AIDYN
My business spans from the scenic hills behind Melbourne to the Sunshine Coast, with much of my work being mobile. The best way to reach me is via email.

AIDYNSAYS…
“We seek what we’ve already been given, we posses the secret to life simply because we are living.” Through body work I have found a deep peace, what it really means to let go. The more we focus on one thing is the more we actively block out everything else, this tension creates blockages that pinch the flow of receptivity, being receptive to each other, our environments and ourselves. Adaptability through harmonising the fuzz of incongruence, life is contrast and we the are artists trying to join the dots, bodywork as the entry point, bringing balance and precision like the brush of a zen calligrapher. So what lies underneath the layers of ourselves?

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING:
“Amazing experience! Aidyn is incredibly down-to-earth and deeply connected in his approach. The atmosphere and vibes were so relaxing and grounding. One session worked wonders for my nerve issues and numbness in my legs—truly transformative. Highly recommend Aidyn’s skilled and attentive care!”
Trev

I loved it! Aidyn has an amazingly wholesome touch and presence. His attention to detail and a care leave me feeling. nourished and very relaxed. My body had a new spark after the treatment with some chronic pain leaving for a couple of weeks! Can’t wait to be back!

Amanda says…

“I fell in love with Zenthai Shiatsu after receiving a treatment from Gwyn at Mt Ninderry Healing Centre, Yandina. My mind and heart were inspired by the movement and flow of the therapy. As an athlete, physical movement has always been one of my highest values. Seeing this movement offered through a massage therapy resonated with me and my focus on supporting people in their healing journey.

I began studying with Gwyn in 2009 and have thoroughly enjoyed offering Zenthai Shiatsu to people who are looking for support on their journey to better health, healing and vitality. My role in facilitating the healing process includes connecting people to their bodies and energy. As a therapist I also assist people to better understand their bodies and how they can heal themselves through mindful breath and movement.”

What others are saying:

I have been receiving Amanda Living zen thai massages for over 5 years. I started having issues with my lower back after years of equestrian. My back issues continues once I joined the police service. Regular visits to Amanda living zen thai massage has been a great benefit, it has almost eliminated my back issues & made conducting my job & day to day activities much easier & pain free. I highly recommend Amanda Living zen thai massage.

Sergeant Chloe Barton

Amanda LIVING’S Zen thai Shiatsu Massage is a massage experience that all busy ,sore bodies would benefit from and want more of. Enjoy her wonderful massage. Amanda comes Highly recommended.

Dr Ping Jaa MBBS FRACGP DRANCOG FACNEM

On my first visit to Amanda I was suffering with a sciatic nerve problem in my thigh and leg. I was nervous about going, but soon realized after my first message that Zen Thai Shiatsu massage is different to any I have experienced before and I came away feeling much better and in far less pain. Zen Thai Shiatsu massage is a mix of stretching and massage that has improved my general overall well-being and I have continued to have a Zen Thai Shiatsu massage with Amanda every two to three weeks. Amanda seems to instinctively find the ‘tight spots’ that need stretching and has loosened up the joints and simply makes me feel more mobile afterwards. I would recommend Amanda for anyone looking for passionate person who has a love and dedication for her work in Zen Thai Shiatsu massage.

This is truly an amazing experience that I was wary about in the beginning, but now knowing how well I feel after my massage I always look forward to my next visit.

Amandala SAYS…

“I fell in love with the amazing power of healing touch and breath work at a young age through my mother’s nurturing way and I gently wove this awareness into my life as a nurse and masseuse.

After venturing into the corporate healing paths of humanitarian aid and the medical device industry for a decade I found myself a mother, which swiftly returned me to seek and explore more deeply the benefits of touch and breath awareness again.

I am truly grateful this self inquiry led me to Zenthai Shiatsu, its loving founder and teacher Gwyn Williams and a vast community of soulful inspiration. The introduction and training revealed a beautiful healing dance, which frees and supports us on all levels, allowing energy to flow, balance in motion and space for self healing. I am humbled and blessed to be on this path and look forward to sharing with you.

Namaste”

The sacred art of listening and holding a safe nurturing space is the foundation of his offerings. This allows a ‘deeper conversation’ to unfold and the opportunity for the client to connect to any old fixations, patterns or imbalances in their body – another powerful step in the healing journey.

“I fell in love with this incredible modality a few years back after meeting Gwyn and Gaia whilst travelling in Australia. What Gwyn has developed, and his teaching style captured my heart and my time ever since, living and travelling with him and the community extensively to trainings and festivals in Australia and Bali. From movement-based therapy sessions to remedial techniques with postural corrections. From acupressure point work to flying therapeutics. From partner yoga to yoga asana advice, with lifestyle support and the list goes on – so much love! This has enabled me to establish a branch of Zenthai Shiatsu in New Zealand.

Learning, teaching and healing through Zenthai and its blend of Chinese Medicine’s Five Elements has been a revelation and a gift that I am passionate to share.
