Brian Foster
Zenthai Shiatsu Therapist • Yoga
As a registered yoga teacher, Brian completed extensive training in a variety of practices, including Zenthai
Shiatsu Therapy, Vinyasa, and Mindful Yoga. His journey into yoga began as a way to heal a broken femur after a mountain bike accident, but it quickly became something far greater—a path to profound energetic shifts and a deep curiosity for holistic wellness.
Brian says...
“I grew up on the lush, green shores of Ireland and now consider the stunning Sunshine Coast my home. Along with being a passionate surfer, photographer, fly fisherman, and explorer, I’ve always been drawn to nature and the flow of energy that connects all living things. This fascination led me to earn a Master’s degree in Ecology, where I explored the rhythms and interconnectedness of biological systems—the Dao in action. Yoga has been a catalyst for both physical healing and spiritual awakening. As I dove deeper into various modalities, I found my calling in teaching—after all, they say the best way to learn is to teach! My practice expanded even further when I discovered Zenthai Shiatsu Therapy.
After experiencing my first treatment at a festival, I was struck by the powerful, shared pulse between myself and the therapist. Intrigued, I trained directly with the modality's founder, Gwyn Williams, and am now honoured to share this healing art with others. When I’m not practicing yoga or Zenthai Shiatsu, I travel around Australia as a sustainable food production consultant, working to support eco-conscious approaches to living and nourishing our planet. Brian has a private treatment space on Mt Ninderry, 10 minutes from the Zenthai Healing Centre. Here you can nestle into the sounds of the rainforest while enjoying the views of Mt Coolum.”
Reflections from clients...
“Brian, I just wanted to thankyou yet again for another great Zenthai Session
the other day. Again, it was very powerful! It stirred a lot of stuff up. I had a
tough couple of days but today has been much better. It’s been all about
empowerment! That must sound pretty strange for a 70-year-old bloke to be
saying. I’ve been doing it all for others my whole life and now my time has
arrived! So thank you for your facilitation.”
