Cristian says…
“I am grateful for the force that brought Zenthai into my path. Its gifts rippled through my body and mind, and deeply touched my soul. Meeting this unique practice to dance with bodies interweaving the layers of physical, energetic, emotional and spiritual is something extraordinary and magical. I felt a deep inner knowing that I was in purpose.
I believe in the wisdom of the body, its ability to move energy and heal, its potency to tell stories, and the intelligence of its alchemy. In Zenthai as therapists we are the conduits supporting the receiver’s innate power of rediscovery.
Deeply immersed in the practice I feel constant bliss. Im in awe for being able to be in service, humble, in reverence and with a profound sense of connection and belonging.
Grateful for this gift, the guidance of my teachers and the trust of every person we shared mat with.
I believe in a life in harmony, with love and joy, this is for me freedom.”
What others are saying:
“My Zenthai session with Cristian was absolutely serene and transformative for my mind, body and spirit. Cristian has a touch of a true healer. Throughout my session, I was in full and captivated presence to every movement, sensation and emotion that arose. Cristian encorporates both soothing and energising movements and his detailed approach ensured every part of my body was worked on and released. After the session my body was rippling with a newfound energy and bliss. I can’t recommend Cristian enough. His approach to body work was incredibly deep and passionate. Grateful!”

“Thank you Cristian. I came to you with an aching heart and sore and tense body. You listened with attentiveness and compassion, and attuned your treatment to my needs. I felt so held and safe whilst receiving of you. The tension and pain in my body dissolved under your hands. You moved my body effortlessly on the mat. After my treatment with you I felt relaxed, grounded and centered. When I opened my eyes it was like I could see again for the first time. I was home once more, in the here and now. A deep sense of gratitude and relief washed over me. Definitely would recommend anyone to book in a session with you, and this is coming from a fellow therapist!
With gratitude”
