Shoval creates a safe and nourishing space where intuition is her compass, a dance between softness and firmness. Her capacity to hold space and her nurturing energy allow her clients to find deeper levels of trust within themselves where healing will naturally happen.

WHERE CAN I FIND SHOVAL?

Shoval welcomes you in a little treatment cabin in the rainforest of Byron hinterland, where nature is holding a peaceful and nurturing environment.
If we are crossing paths, I invite you to join me in this sacred space.

SHOVAL SAYS…

“In the simplest sense, Zenthai to me is a way of coming into union. Every gesture, every touch is an offering of service. I have found Zenthai to be a powerful instrument that connects us beyond our stories. It is the quiet space we need to listen and be listened to.
If you are pregnant I invite you too, to be held and supported, to feel grounded and find a deeper connection with baba and your womb. In Zenthai we choose more contact, we touch the belly, we create space, we breathe, we listen, we heal.“

‘The curriculum of service provides us with information about our strengths, and we discover how these contribute to genuinely help-full service. Each time we drop our masks and meet heart-to-heart, reassuring one another simply by the quality of our presence, we experience a profound bond which we intuitively understand is nourishing everyone.’ – Ram Dass

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING:

“I had a few sessions with Shoval while I was pregnant, and it was exactly what I needed. I felt safe, held in Shoval’s full presence and loving care. It was a holistic healing experience- body, mind and soul. It helped me go through my pregnancy with more ease. I wanted to do it every day!
Shoval’s energy is calming, pleasant and it feels like she truly loves what she does. I warmly recommend Zenthai with her.“
– Shira Magrriso

“I have been blessed to have a couple of Zenthai Shiatsu sessions with Shoval and I hope to have more as she keeps growing and developing herself and her skills as an amazing therapist.
Her touch is sensitive and intuitive and imbued with so much love and care and consideration for my individual needs.
I would definitely recommend her wonderful, healing sessions 💛”
– Chandra Levy, Remedial Massage therapist.

“Shoval’s treatment is designed to support, nourish and hold space.
Personally it supported me with my SI joint and lower back because of the weight of my belly.
What blew my mind was that finally someone touched my belly with respect, nourishment and genuine care.
And by the way, Baby loved it.”
– Shikma Hafer, Yoga teacher and Zenthai Shiatsu Therapist.

WHERE CAN I FIND SISSI?
Sissi offers sessions from her Zenthai Studio in Osimo AN, Italy. She also offers Zenthai workshops and intensives at festivals and retreat centers in Italy.

Sissi listens to the body with intuitive and nurturing hands yet she manipulates muscles,
tendons and joints with precision and a firm touch. She touches into the structural and the
energetics, addressing muscular imbalances, postural misalignment and Qi stagnation. In
her sessions therapeutics and relaxation are weaved together in a nurturing flow, leaving
you feeling gronde and recharged. Her caring nature allows her to align intentions.
Creating a safe space to let go of emotional and physical tension.

WHAT SISSI SAYS:
When I met Zenthai it was like coming home. There’s noting like it. The dynamic movement, the intuitive listening and the deep connection. It’s a special art where massage becomes more. It’s feels like dancing to your inner rhythm, effortless flowing, rising and falling with the pulse, slowly unwinding with trust and an open heart.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING:
I had an amazing massage, customised to my needs. I suffer from tension from sport and posture and Sissi found exactly the tense parts of my body and loosened them in such a way that the massage remained pleasant despite the substantial work on the tense muscles. I never had such a great massage before and can only recommend this experience!! ~ Nadine

I can highly recommend Sissi for an amazing massage, I’ve seen her in the Noosa Junction room as well as her Mudjimba space and was instantly relaxed. Sissi is a highly skilled and intuitive massage therapist who tailored the massage style between zenthai, deep pressure and remedial based on what my body needed. Looking forward to my next massage – thank you so much Sissi xx ~ Michelle Marazakis

The absolute BEST massage I’ve ever had, and I’ve had a lot. I was totally blissed out. Sissi is very intuitive. I will definitely be rebooking! ~ Sonya

This is the best therapy for my MS I have found. Highly recommended, she is amazing. Thank you Sissi, I would be lost without you now. ~Tracey

I had an exceptional experience with my recent session! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was calming and inviting. Silvia took the time to listen to my concerns about my persistent back pain and tailored the session specifically to address those issues. In just 30 minutes, I felt an incredible sense of relief that I hadn’t experienced in a long time. Her skillful touch and deep understanding of my needs made all the difference, providing immediate and lasting comfort. This was truly a transformative session, and I cannot recommend Silvia enough. If you’re looking for professional, attentive care and effective relief, look no further. I’ll definitely be returning for more sessions! ~ Danny

“Thank you sooo much Sonia for the incredible Zenthai session the other day! It was a magical, healing experience. My standards of massages will never be the same… I came away feeling completely re-energised and whole. It felt very nourishing and it was EXACTLY what I needed.

It was an experience I would recommend to everyone… Definitely worth it! Thanks again Sonia! :)”

Thank you Sonia, you are truely gifted and I feel blessed to have crossed paths with you. Namaste”

“Thankyou Sonia for another great ZenThai Session. My body went beyond relaxation, It felt easier to breathe, I felt I had escaped my body, I was free with no limitations. I could feel the intention. The stretching with care, and the intuitive, nurturing touch gave my body the ok to let go, my mobility increased and my muscles relaxed. So much better than I was expecting, my body just melted. This is the greatest thing I could do with my time. It is up there with my trip to Hawaii.”

Healing is a never ending journey towards balance – a constant reminder that everything needs to move all the time. Movement creates space, allowing energy to flow freely and help restore the body’s natural health.

Sophie has a passion for holistic healing and, when she’s not treatment, she’s looking to expand her knowledge through courses and research. She believes everyone has the capacity to attain their own state of balance and health.

You can visit Sophie in her own quiet and private space in Yandina Creek, surrounded by the trees and native birds. She also offers mobile treatments throughout the Sunshine Coast area.

You can contact her via her mobile, facebook page or email.

SOPHIE SAYS…

“To me Zenthai is an experience unique to each individual. It isn’t a massage but a therapy, nor a ‘quick fix’ but a deep healing practice.

I cannot express enough my gratitude towards Gwyn Williams for striving to achieving his dream of allowing so many people to explore this transformative modality.

Since I was little I have had passion about natural and holistic healing, perhaps in part a response to many years of suffering from many illnesses and a very bad back pain that started during my gymnastic training and never left me … until now.

My mother taught me a lot about nutrition and herbal remedies and I’ve kept on researching and learning ever since. When I found Zenthai I had no intention to become a therapist. I came in for the experience, transformation and self growth. The journey in itself led me to embrace the power of touch. the joy I feel when I feel my hands having a conversation with the body lying before me is indescribable.

I am truly blessed to offer this work to my clients and to give them the tools to help them find their own balance. I am thrilled to share my knowledge with them as much as I am to learn from them.

Fully present, heart wide open, a zenthai sequence is never the same and it never cease to surprise me. It a conversation, a dance… a relationship”

“Health is a relationship between you and your body”

Takkesh Mizoguchi-Thorne

~ ZenThai Shiatsu Therapist ~ Southern Gold Coast and Tallebudgera based treatments

mob: 0435 026 873
e: takkeshmizoguchithorne@gmail.com
fb: Zen Thai Waves

Takkesh has this innate gift of therapeutic touch, whilst having fluidity and strong focus within his Zen Thai sessions. His practice is fuelled with free flowing energy as this rhythmical dance takes clients on a deep relaxing journey. His precision allows for powerfully effective therapy, opening the body and heart centre. The body sanctuary Takkesh creates allows for you to feel safe and secure, allowing the whole body to relax and let go.

Takkesh offers flying therapeutics, a form of acro yoga as an addition to his Zen Thai practice. His therapeutic treatments are directed towards balancing and aligning the muscular system, calming the nervous system, assisting with digestive agni and the breath of life.

Where can I find Takkesh?

You can find Takkesh at this beach front clinic at Kirra on the Gold Coast. Takkesh also offers Zenthai treatments from his hinterland retreat in Tallebudgera Valley. Services offered include Zenthai and Yoga practice and Takkesh is available for treatments, classes, retreats and festivals worldwide.

Takkesh says…

“Ocean waves and nature’s rhythms have been a constant inspiration throughout my life. Nature’s experiences have embodied this sense of potent presence and making sure that every move has focus and precision. I direct my attention towards these aspects during my Zenthai treatments. This rhythmical dance flows with the body to unravel any holding patterns, and still without force or expectation. I am passionate, inspired and driven by surfing, yoga and capoeira. Living the beach life and travelling to festivals in a bus, mum introduced me to Gwyn and Zenthai from an early age. I recall how powerful it has always been to visit the mountain and receive an offering of Gywn’s therapy sessions. All of these experiences have solidified the Zenthai principle threads for effective therapy. Zenthai feels like a natural progression in experiencing and offering this extension of nature’s rhythms. My purpose now is to Inspire. I find such gratitude in walking an integral and humble path and hope for others to be inspired by what I have to share. Zenthai helps to access these parts of ourselves, whilst a strong yoga practice keeps us aligned. Yoga is a portal that I utilise to inspire other and to heal myself. Yoga, surf, chill, zenthai, repeat.”

What others are saying:

“After years of therapeutic massage and countless therapist finding Takkesh was a true blessing, not just for me but for my partner as well. The work he does is thorough and effective and you can tell that he has extensive experience and is very passionate about his work. He is always so professional and sensitive to our personal needs. We highly recommend Takkesh to anyone looking for Zen Thai Therapy massage work.”

Miriam & Jake

“My Zen Thai sessions with Takkesh are truly transformational. My hip is the most comfortable it has been in months after the treatment. The range of movement and lack of restriction was immediately noticeable and it still feels that way. I even surfed for over 5 hours today and it feels great.”
