Yuta brings a deep calm and non judgmental attitude to the mat where you can totally relax. He has studied Shiatsu, Thai massage, Reiki, Dance and Yoga. During Zenthai Shiatsu treatments he integrates his healing experiences to give a unique treatment to each individual. He works to generate your unique energy in a meditative dance that enhances and supports the individual meridians, leaving you feeling energised, activated, nurtured and nourished. Yuta is honoured and happy that he is able to treat and support others which he finds supports himself.

Yuta says...

“I’m passionate about sharing happiness with others, and providing a space for people to discover the best and healthiest balance in themselves and their life.

Being a dancer, I instantly fell in love with Gwyn’s dynamic movement modality as a meditative dance. As I deepened my Zenthai journey and became a therapist, I learned so much about communication and the healing that is possible when you have the courage to step into and be held in your vulnerability.

I now understand the value in deep listening and I offer this to my clients every time I give a session. This is the foundation of healing.

Other healing modalities I’ve studied and drawn upon in my Zen Thai practice include: Reiki, Zen shiatsu and various Thai massage styles. Through my exploration of sound healing, meditation and other energetic modalities, I bring a sensitivity to the subtle frequencies that are transmitted through the way we direct our attention.

“Where our attention goes, energy flows”, this is a powerful reminder that allows us to step back into responsibility and empowerment for our own self directed healing, and what we are attracting and creating in our lives. The clear, meditative quality of Zenthai Shiatsu invites both the receiver and practitioner to move into a deeper relaxation and quietness, where we are able to pay attention more fully, and from there, return to a more balanced alignment in our body, mind and spirit.”

Reflections from clients...

“What a beautiful treatment I received from you. Gentle and connected, full hearted and effective. My body felt so nurtured, safe and trusting in your hands and my shoulder that has long-held tension began to release. Thank you.”
– Sonia – Zenthai Therapist and yoga teacher, New Castle.

“I love how Yuta really pays attention to the reason that I came to see him and keeps working that spot from all different angles.”
– Caitlin – Zenthai Therapist and NVC mediator, Sunshine Coast.

“Yuta has a gentle nature that is evident in his treatments, combined with his personable ease and skill in Zen Thai, makes for an all encompassing treatment. Yuta freed up my locked neck, shoulders & thoracic with techniques that were spot on and effective. Not only did I feel freedom of movement return, but a relaxed state that endured all day. I would recommend Yuta to anyone seeking treatment with care and attention.”
