ERICKA SAYS…

“Coming from a structural and allopathic way of thinking about therapy, I was seeking a deeper form of healing for not only myself but to be able to share with my clients. After receiving my first Zenthai Shiatsu session my instant reaction was “wow this is combining my two passions… dance and therapy, I love it!”

After that first session I came away with a clear mind and a more decisive approach to life the following weeks after. So much so that I quit my job the following day, which I had been unsure about for months.

Zenthai gives me a feeling of being more grounded and it allows the natural order and a harmony to enter the inner realm of the body. In retrospect I realise my initial Zenthai experience allowed me to come back to my true essence, allowing me to make an important decision from my heart.

What inspires me to continue working with Zenthai Shiatsu is the fact that the therapy has no hierarchy where the therapist has all the answers… rather, there is a deeper connection and dance happening between two individuals and greater amount of listening happening which allows us to feel heard and be truly acknowledged. It helps us get out of our head and into our bodies, which then allows our bodies to do what it is they need to…”

What others are saying…

“Ericka is knowledgeable, personable and goes the extra mile to make sure her clients are given then best possible support and advice to help them on their healing journey. It is obvious that Erika truly cares about the long term health of her patients, which makes working with her feel worthwhile and valuable.”
Rebecca – Office worker

“My Zenthai treatment with Ericka was excellent. She helped to relieve a lot of the strain I feel down the right side of my body from a shoulder injury I received some years ago. I will definitely be seeing Ericka for more sessions!”

“I have a love of the mechanics and connection mind-body as a hole.

Starting with Thai massage in Chang Mai (Thailand) for 2 years in a row and then discovered Zenthai Shiatsu where Gwin had already gather together all the healing wisdoms of the East and Osteopathic movements. When I realize that, I was home.

I’m dedicated to learn and grow my sensitivity to allow me deeper touch and understanding of blockages in our bodies and minds.

The more I learn the more I focus on the present moment as the best present to offer you, a place for inner journey and re-discovery of your perfect self. When this is conscient, the healing process is already there and we are witnessing it together.

The practice start every morning with the first conscious breathe and finishes when conscience fly out of sight at night.”

“Working as a massage and body therapist for 28 years I’ve always struggled to find someone who understands the body to deliver an effective treatment that helps release the hips, mid thoracic and neck.

A genuine caring human. I highly recommend his brilliant Zen Shiatsu massage.”

Gabi is committed to a fully focused enquiry into your body, careful observation, listening and diagnostic touch. Energising the body and restoring balance, harmony and radiance on a physical, emotional or spiritual level is the aim of her deep healing touch. Whether you are seeking relief for sore or injured joints – ankles, knees, hips, lower back, shoulders or neck or from digestive disorders, headaches, depression or feeling low in energy every treatment is specifically working with your present condition.

Where can I find Gabi?

Gabi is practising in the Byron Shire, northern NSW. Treatments are available by appointment at Red Tent Yoga, Byron Bay – Heartspace, Mullumbimby or as mobile service in the comfort of your own space.

Gabi says…

“My passion throughout my life has been the striving for sustainability, within my own body, my family, my community, my environment. For years I studied and explored to only find what I already inherently knew: Yin and yang are inseparable components of oneness within our bodies and within the universe – one does not exist without the other.

In 2001 I came across the ‘Makko Ho’s’ – meridian stretches and Shiatsu which was a ground breaking experience for me. These stretches made me feel alive and energised and I have been practicing meridian activation ever since. I also love contact improvisation dance and when I came across Zenthai Shiatsu therapy the perfect match manifested: the dance has become more than just a dance.

In a treatment it is filled with knowledge and has become a conscious healing dance between two bodies in unity – freeing an abundance of energy – physically, mentally and emotionally, balancing yin and yang, allowing for self-healing to happen. I love this practice and invite you to the experience.”.

What others are saying:

“Thanks Gabi for making a real difference to my physical and mental well being. I have more movement and less pain in my shoulder than I have had for years and I feel like a lot of ‘baggage’ that was resting there has moved on. I will definitely be recommending you to my friends. Looking forward to when you come back to Mullum for my next massage.”

Innana Siri Shakti Henna

“Gabi has the most healing magical hands I have ever experienced. Yesterday I couldn’t move properly due to a lower back pain/injury …by the time she finished working on me…I was very mobile and danced to my heart’s content by the evening!!”

Sunita Devi

“Thank you Gabi for a fantastic Zen Thai massage yesterday. I slept like a baby. I fully recommend this treatment to anyone in need of a bit of body, mind and soul touch therapy. I know what i am buying my friends for their birthdays!”

“Zenthai Shiatsu and Yoga have an incredible capacity to turn up the volume on our sensitivity, engaging the inner eye in self-study and expanding not only our movement capacity but our awareness as well. I am interested in how these interoceptive skills manifest in how we show up in our daily lives, asking the question, how can we reclaim agency – over our bodies, over our choices, over our lives?

I look forward to exploring the somatic landscapes with you as we accompany each other on the journey home.”

The session itself was relaxing, informative, felt amazing and was exactly what my muscles specifically my hips and lower back needed. Not gonna lie, on Friday I woke up really stiff and tender. I went to yoga that morning and all I could feel was like my lower back was completed seized. Felt super stiff and uncomfortable. Listening to my body, I took it easy for the rest of the day and the following morning I actually sprung out of bed. My Body felt amazing! No niggles. Not even a stiff back upon getting up. Hips, Back and glutes feel a lot looser and all around just 100% better than before our session. Truly so much better! You must give it a go!!”

Gina creates a loving and welcoming space for the receiver to feel safe and comfortable to be in their essence. There is no judgement and Gina invites souls from all walks of life to experience this art of healing and nurturing touch. Her compassionate and empathetic nature allows the receiver to feel fully seen and accepted for who they are. She is highly knowledgeable through her personal experience and studies, highlighting her passion in holistic health and guiding others to realise their full potential to live a life of vitality and longevity.

WHERE CAN I FIND GINA?

Gina offers sessions between the Upper Blue Mountains and Sydney. The sanctuary in Leura is welcoming and cosy and is nestled within the trees, housing the wildlife of the Blue Mountains where visitors often feel tranquillity and peace upon entering. Gina also enjoys the contrast of the bustling city and gives sessions in one of the main but quiet streets of Paddington. Bookings can be made online through her website.

GINA SAYS…

“Human connection and touch is a universal need. When I was first introduced to zenthai, I felt such a beautiful moment of connection where I was fully held and supported. In our modern society, there is a resistance to let go, express ourselves and trust the flow of life. Zenthai Shiatsu offers us the opportunity to feel centred and aligned within ourselves and tap into our source – to be enlivened and inspired to explore the depths of ourselves.

Embarking on the journey of self-discovery can be challenging and feel chaotic at times. For me, I’ve found taking the time for stillness and creating the space to listen to our bodies from a loving and compassionate place is where we find clarity and acceptance. Zenthai offers this space to let go and release the stories and patterns that possibly are restricting us to live our best lives.

Zenthai has been a valuable practice to share with the community and I’m grateful to guide others to be connected with themselves and to nature from a heart-centred place.”

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING:

“Gina is an incredibly caring and nurturing Zenthai Shiatsu practitioner. I’ve had the pleasure of being treated by her on multiple occasions and each time I am able to completely trust in her guidance and direction and feel wholly held throughout the entire experience. I felt a sense of internal serenity whilst Gina was working, and a great feeling of lightness after each session. I genuinely feel that Gina takes an immense amount of care and energy in her work and would highly recommend connecting with her through her various treatment modalities.”
— Leslie Lau – Sydney.

“Gina’s intimate understanding of yoga combined with her broad training in other therapies makes for a deeply satisfying Zenthai experience, leaving you refreshed and rejuvenated on many levels.”
