Monique is an experienced multi-disciplinary bodywork therapist and movement play advocate. She brings to her bodywork practice an.awareness of the impact of loving touch, her passion for easeful movement and breath, and her deep respect for the many and varied ways we humans experience life.

Her passion and specialties in bodywork lie with Zenthai Shiatsu, Pregnancy Zenthai, Internal Organ Bodywork, Craniosacral Balancing and Lomi Lomi.
These therapies cater for a broad range of conditions and support free flow of blood and chi, structural and energetic freedom and nourishment, and encourage a deep felt sense of oneself. Free and easeful movement and breath is maintained, or regained. There may be a releasing of old patterns resulting in a greater acceptance and understanding of oneself manifesting as a quiet inner happiness.

Monique is equally passionate about, and an avid proponent of, regular movement and play to ensure longevity in mobility, agility, strength, dynamic balance, stability and mental acuity.
She is taken with the notion that we live in a body that is designed to move, finding the movement in stillness and the stillness in movement. Our bodies, and our minds, thrive when we move and extend and reach and pull and push and twist and turn, when we exert, and when we rest and feel and listen. When we do this with our body, our mind also becomes freer, expansive and exploratory.

She brings together years of working in physical street theatre, the sharing of playful movement and dance classes with children and adults with various abilities, yoga, mat pilates, and ongoing explorations with various grounded natural movement practices, and her interest in maintaining an easeful nasal breath, to her movement based classes.

Monique has a particular interest in feet and joint health, nervous system reset and easeful nasal breathing patterns.

MONIQUE SAYS…

“I love the practice of Zenthai as it combines a flow of fluid movement and stillness, restoring balance and harmony. For me, the potency of this work comes via the access to deep relaxation and the body’s inherent healing abilities, via the connection between the receiver and the giver, and via a presence and openness to what is and what is possible. This is intuitive work underpinned by a sound and tangible knowledge.

I wish for all people to be comfortable in their own skin, to have an ease in movement, to trust their own inner knowing, their intuition, and to understand the mind-body connection. My intention is to share a love of being and moving, to encourage an exploration of one-self and to support people to experience the fullness of life with greater equanimity.

My interest lies in cultivating a relationship to co-create a wellbeing plan that utilises my skills and understandings, whilst engaging you, in the management of your health and wellbeing. It’s a consultative and feedback process. This encourages participation rather than a passive receptivity, though this is also valid. It is empowering. Self awareness grows and understanding of the body’s messages is better understood. Thus together, we address the underlying cause of symptoms. In this way, the purpose of your visit is addressed.

After supporting on the Zenthai training program for a number of years, I now facilitate post graduate trainings that are primarily aimed at Zenthai Therapists and also open to experienced practitioners of other modalities.
I offer annual workshops relating to Neck therapy and a 5 day training focusing on Bodywork for the Internal Organs of the Belly.

My interest in healthy agile feet underpins a playful workshop focusing on the Feet and Ankles. This workshop is open to anyone keen to improve the mobility, agility, strength, dynamic balance and stability in their feet and ankles”

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING:

“Monique is based in Brisbane, her sessions are amazing. I’m lucky to have connected with her years ago and have been able to see her when I need some deep nurturing care for my body and mind.
Of my highest recommendation as a practitioner, healer and kind heart, Mon is a blessing to us. Drop in to meet her for a session if you’re feeling run-down, disconnected, injured, or for any human ache, and allow yourself to be de-tangled.”
~ Taia – surfer, gardener, eco-activist

“I was experiencing a phase of extreme fatigue and weakness due to a long-term fatigue problem when I first saw Monique. Her treatment, and subsequent treatments, gave me an enhanced feeling of strength and well-being. I was also having great difficulty walking due to a bad knee at the time of my first treatment. Afterwards, I was very surprised to be able to walk confidently again.”
~ Denise – student

“Participating in the belly workshop I came to feel that the belly really is the centre of the universe… the various means to communicate with another through the sacred realms of their belly, and to support the integration of that process with the whole body, seems to me as potent and necessary skills as a bodyworker… I’m really grateful for having participated in the last workshop and highly recommend others take the opportunity to attend this next offering… your and your client’s bellies will thank you for it.”

There was no aching painful sensation, just a quiet hum like my body & mind had been reset & peace was the frequency all of my layers were attuned too.
Absolutely amazing and I highly recommend you get yourself to a session.”

e: oonacheyenne@gmail.com

OONA SAYS…

Over the course of my life I’ve studied dance, performing arts, music, yoga and healing modalities in many different ways and in many different places. And in my experience, what all of them have in common is this incredibly beautiful connection to the body that we allow to happen when we surrender to the moment and let the world fall away – the breath, the heartbeat, this divine rhythm within us and the ability to listen to it. The whole universe in the framework of this body, everything we need.

When I received my first Zenthai Shiatsu Treatment I felt that. I felt the dance that it is and I remember thinking: “I wanna dance! I wanna dance in every way humanly possible! I want to dance like this!”

So over the last years I have expanded my movement practice to the mat, dancing the dance of Zenthai. And I love it with all my heart! My Intention is to show up every time with an openness, love and space for every person to be exactly as they are, supporting them to feel their body and innate sense of belonging.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING:

“I’d been suffering from a frozen shoulder for 3 months. After 1 session with Oona my range of movement improved dramatically and I now have full mobility again. Her touch is so aware and full of Metta, I felt my muscles and vitality recharge with every session.”
~ Kimmana Nichols, Naturopath and Ayurveda Teacher

“Oona has Amazing healing hands and a healing heart and creates a deep and transcendental space for profound body connection and nourishing stillness.”
~Melissa Scott-Rowan, Life Coach & Healer

“Thanks so much for the zenthai at zenfest Oona. You eased the pain of my many aches and injuries and managed to ground my firey spirit!. I have recommended you to anyone who will listen to me! Thanks so much for your calming presence and an amazing treatment! Can’t wait for my next one!”

Pablo truly believes that the essence of healing resides in connection and trust. In each session Pablo fully opens up his heart to make you feel you are not alone in your own battles. The aim of Pablo’s practice is towards liberation from old conditioning -both in mind and body- and seeking the freedom and potentiality of the new territories yet to explore.

PABLO SAYS…

“I’m endlessly grateful for having found Zenthai and this incredibly loving family. Coming from the other end of the world, Spain, I feel such a privileged man – I could not stress this enough. Overall, gratitude is my most predominant emotion when I look at my own journey. Therefore, I feel with the responsibility of showing up for others so this sense of gratitude is completely undivided amongst all of us. At the end of the day, life is purely a gift but you might only appreciate it when a sense of connection and trust is well rooted within you. Here is where I see the magic in Zenthai. It always brings both the therapist and the receiver back to this space of connection and trust. This is why I believe in this practice and why I share it with others.”

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING:

” Pablo has a true gift. My emotional energy has been exhausted after more than 40 years working as a social worker/psychologist. I feel rested and peaceful after just one session, it’s a definite shift which is so wonderful. My sciatica and neck issues are also so soothed. Pablo has such a warm and generous spirit. He’s an expert and natural healer. Thank you. “

— Jennifer Carter, Social worker/Psychologist

“I have had ongoing Zenthai treatments with Pablo and always come away feeling relaxed, grounded and re-energised. Pablo’s unique ability to relax the nervous system through touch has an incredible healing effect both physically and emotionally. I would highly recommend this experience!”

— Tom Wensley, Business Leader

” Pablo has such a gift with working with the meta-physical body through physical movements. With each session, I unlock stuck memories, emotions, unconscious patterns to move through and grow from the season.

My nervous system always gets a reset when I meet with Pablo. Highly recommend Pablo for anyone who is looking for an energy body reset.”

Paea brings…

Paea has worked for more than 20 years as a professional contemporary dancer, performer, choreographer and movement teacher to all bodies and levels. She is a mother, a body therapist and a writer. She meets each client, bodily, where they are; drawing from a rich base of accumulated and embodied knowledges learnt through dance and experiential, as well as evidence-based, studies of anatomy, via Body Mind Centering (BMC), Iyengar yoga practice and, currently, university study in the field of Osteopathic Medicine. Her focus is on relieving symptoms; opening time for the body to yield to the ground, the nervous system to unhold, and breath to slow down. Ultimately, to encourage free flowing circulation of all fluids through the body systems. Through focussed touch, compassion and advice on functional movement, she hopes to support the permeation of self-healing through the great sea of (each) body.

Where can I find PAEA?

Paea offers sessions on Saturdays at ‘29’ – a community clinic, @ 29 High St, Kyneton between 8am and 1pm (later times available).

Home visits are available on Fridays and Mondays – Melbourne CBD or Macedon
ranges – by negotiation.

Sessions in Melbourne CBD are TBC – and will likely commence by May 2023.

You can contact Paea via mobile phone, email or facebook.

PAEA says…

“We live in a world that is desperate to name ailments of the body. We tend toward
the reduction of our identity to our biography. Many of us seek something for our
body that is more direct, honest, grounding, non-analytical and slow.

As a dancer, I understand the world through movement; I think through my body. I
would like to help reunite you with your own sensing feeling body. To support
freedom from being told how we are, and what we lack, and movement toward
realising that agency is an embodied reality; it is something we feel.

I believe intuition is a form of intelligence; binding the concrete things we can know
to be true (bones, ligaments, functions) to the bigger field of the everything we
cannot. I ask myself; how can I meet you where you are with compassion and
wisdom? How can the work quieten and support your system to allow energy to flow,
as a rivulet between the rocks? Richness is possible. Loving kindness can be real”.

What others are saying:

“Intuitive, sensitive, mindful, visceral, loving, nurturing, wise… Paea is one of the most gifted physical therapists around. Her Zen Shiatsu practice returns me to my body time and again, leaving me feeling grounded, balanced and more deeply in tune with my inner and outer worlds. Whether you’re wanting to heal ailments in the body or you’re after a gorgeous, indulgent practice (it’s even more divine than a massage), I strongly recommend Paea. As one of Australia’s finest contemporary dancers, she brings a wealth of knowledge around the rhythms of the human body to her practice, and is a beautiful practitioner to be in flow with“.

Zenthai Shiatsu for Peter Shepherd, is a moving meditation and an embodied expression of loving kindness. It is a way to be fully present with oneself and another body and mind. It is a way to connect with oneself and others, a way to express and communicate deeply from the heart and support others in balancing body and mind. It is a way to understand ourselves and a way to tailor specific treatments to the receiver’s body and mind in each moment.

When Peter Shepherd was introduced to Zenthai Shiatsu, he knew he had found something remarkable. It was a deeply moving few days which challenged and inspired him greatly, although he didn’t feel he was ready to complete the 9-month therapist training at the time. He continued his roughly ten-year study and practice of mind and meditation before the time was right and he felt he had a suitable foundation from which to build on.

WHERE CAN I FIND PETER?

Peter Shepherd practices in Caloundra on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland. He can be contacted by mobile phone, email or Facebook.

PETER SAYS…

Peter is passionate about supporting others to come back to the present, settle the nervous system, gain clarity of mind, re-calibrate the body-mind system, be free from pain and to flourish in their human form.

The most inspiring exploration for Peter is to expose the illusion of separateness, as best expressed by the late Thich Nhat Hanh, “We are here to awaken from the illusion of separateness.” Zenthai Shiatsu is such an intimate dance that the borders between one person to another can start to dissolve and it can give us an opportunity to come back home to our true, whole, pure, loving, open and spacious nature.

Peter pays his deepest respect to the traditional owners of the land on which he lives and works, the Kabi Kabi people. Sovereignty was never ceded.

Peter also bows with deep reverence to Gwyn Williams and the Zenthai Shiatsu lineage and most of all to his meditation teachers.

“May all beings be free and happy. Big love.“

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING:

“From my first Zenthai Shiatsu session with Peter I knew he was a very gifted and special practitioner. Peter’s own integration of yin and yang is the perfect container to be held in for the journey through ZTS. He listens deeply to your words and body. Through his empathic & intuitive nature, great skill and obvious knowledge, he effortlessly re-calibrates harmony in your system.
I have had great pain relief in my physical body from my sessions with Peter, as well as profound lasting emotional releases and spiritual experiences.I can’t recommend him highly enough. As a woman it can be difficult to find male practitioners to feel completely safe with, Peter is one of these rare gems.”
– Gemma Davies, Eudlo QLD.

“Having experienced a few zenthai shiatsu treatments over the years, it has been a wonder and pleasure to receive treatments from Peter Shepard.
Peter appears to have a very natural sensitivity in his touch, as well as an awareness that tunes in with body and mind. Generously paced and considered, his sessions allow time for one to release tension, sink into relaxation and then feel safely held for deeper healing to unfold. The experience is beautifully nourishing.
I could not recommend receiving Peters’ gift more highly.”
– Shannon Murphy, Palmwoods QLD.

“I find Peter’s Zenthai sessions to be a space for nurturing the body and whatever is going on at the moment; from a headache, a back pain, an anxious mind or a feeling of missing family overseas. It feels like a therapy from the bottom up where the body takes the lead and the mind quietens. Peter has an intuitive and flowing approach to the session in which he communicates with no words and reaches deep blockages. I feel most comfortable with Peter and would advise him to be a great practitioner. Thank you.”
– Maria, Eudlo QLD.

“I have had the benefit of two Zenthai Shiatsu treatments with Peter over the past few months, and I highly recommend his practice. Before these sessions, I had only had one Zenthai Shiatsu treatment, several years ago, so I went into the experience with fairly neutral expectations. It ended up being an unexpectedly transformative experience!
I certainly felt looser and calmer in my body afterwards, as you might expect from any massage. But the space that Pete makes in his practice also opened me up to a bunch of deeper feelings and emotions in my body, and provided space to release them; something I usually find deeply challenging.
While everyone’s experiences will be different, I can confidently say that Pete offers a wonderful, gentle practice that is wholly centred on the needs of the recipient. He is careful and deeply considerate, and really attuned to the experience of the person he is working with. I highly recommend that you seek out treatment if you can!”
– Anna Carlson, Brisbane QLD.

“Pete’s Zenthai Shiatsu sessions have helped me greatly to align body and mind. Not only has it treated my lower back it has mentally and spiritually beneficial. Pete is a genuine and true facilitator of healing.”
– Keiron Pratt, Eudlo QLD.
