Che also offers custom designed lifestyle coaching, conducted in spaces and in conjunction with activities that align with peoples desired direction of change. He is passionate about embodiment and living the changes we wish to see, immediately. You can best contact him by phone or by email.

CHE SAYS…

“My practice in life is to contribute to the evolving enlightened consciousness of society, in the most joyful ways possible. By acknowledging the inextricably linked physical, energetic and emotional bodies, my offering often finds it’s form in the sharing of bodywork, lifestyle coaching and movement-based performance art. I am inspired by the wisdom of sages and the curiosity of toddlers. Movement is my language and my relationship with it runs deep. From my education as an Exercise Physiologist, to being a Dancer, Choreographer and Acrobat, and of course being a Zenthai Shiatsu Bodyworker, my respect for the personal self and the larger Self as experienced through our body will always hold me in presence. The body holds stories, stories of our activities, stories of our relationships, stories of our society. These stories are alive in us and we can engage with them through movement practices and bodywork particularly. Zenthai for me is a beautiful heart-based therapy that is a conversation with these and a dance between bodies to help unfix some of the unwanted physical and energetic patterns that arise from time to time. The variety of modalities Zenthai draws from speaks to it’s ability to personalise sessions to the specific needs of each person. For me, each session is different because each person and their stories are different, and each conversation between two humans is always going to be different. What a joy it is to offer and be of service.”

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING:

“Che offers a truly nourishing treatment, clearly drawing on years of experience and a wealth of knowledge to give your body the moment it needs to relax and replenish itself. Each session is different and I find his intuitive skill is incredibly refined, he often picks up on things I didn’t even know I needed work on. He has a deeply calming energy which I personally find to be a very powerful tool in healing my nervous system. I highly recommend bodywork with Che for anyone looking to reconnect with their body. His blend of practical and physiological knowledge, paired with spiritual wisdom, and a whole cup full of loving kindness, is real medicine for anyone and everyone.”
~ Olive Miller, Remedial Massage Therapist, Gold Coast

“Che’s sessions are honestly like a complete reset for me… it feels like being cocooned in a warm nourishing hug that brings the body, mind & soul back into balance & alignment. His touch is a beautiful combination of gentleness and strength and the wisdom he carries from his years of training and experience, as well as his own dedication and commitment to personal practice, discipline and self-inquiry – means that his offerings are also deeply rooted in a profound sense of somatic awareness, genuine confidence, knowledge and mastery of the mind-body connection. It’s truly a sensual delight to receive bodywork from Che – and I highly recommend everyone go do a Zen Thai Shiatsu session – it will transform your life! It did for me!”
~ Lillian Adele, Creative Entrepeneur, Brisbane

“I’ve been receiving Zenthai from Che now for just over 3 years. I can noticeably feel the difference in my body especially in my hip/pelvic area where things used to be very tight with limited mobility. I can’t recommend Che highly enough.”

w :: www.wildmovementstudio.com

Harri has a natural affinity with bodywork being present in his family lineage. He is deeply curious as to how the human body moves in all ways. In a treatment, Harri works with the structural and energetics of the body to assist in its own intelligence to heal. He creates a safe space for the nervous system to unwind, relax, restore, replenish and be held.

WHERE CAN I FIND HARRI?

Harri treats regularly in the Byron Bay region through mobile treatments, at retreats/events and at the weekly northern rivers Zenthai community clinic. He also offers couples treatments with his partner Kobi (ZT therapist). Look out for their visits to Avalon in Sydney, where Harri often offers treatments at Balanced studio.

HARRI SAYS…

“When I first met Zenthai there was a deep knowing to be on this path. Zenthai is now one of my most loved expressions of service to our highest selves. It inspires me to become the best version of myself, to do my best to serve those around me.
I live a simple life close to the earth, off grid in a home we built, growing food, expressing in the ocean, creating and sharing,  which brings me into close connection to nature.
Nature is constantly inspiring and teaching me the way in which I interact with the human body of others, myself and everything. It plays a big part in how I teach Movement in regular weekly classes and through 1:1 coaching. I believe by following patterns in nature we can truly move through a life in harmony, with love and joy and freedom to meet our best self.
I hope to share this philosophy with my Son to inspire the generations to come, to live harmoniously with nature, spirit and each other.”

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING…

“My Zenthai sessions with Harry were the most restorative and transformative of all the bodywork I’ve received. It was also a trip > way more active and dynamic than I thought, released a lot of tension I didn’t even know I had. Felt like jelly afterwards, then experienced a deep bodily relaxation I hadn’t had in very long time”
— Brad, Crypto Entrepreneur  

“I am more in my body; the way that I move through the world is imbued with a grace and ease that I’ve never before known. AS a practitioner of Zenthai, Harry is beyond compare. His practice is evidently informed by years of training but the thing that struck me the most was the fact that his intuition is his greatest guide. He knew exactly what I needed. 
As a human, Harry Vann is without a doubt one of my favourite people. As a teacher and practitioner, I can confidently say the same. Harry comes alive when he is teaching and this light shines through. He has a wealth of knowledge and skills to share and the world is a better place for having him in it.”

— Sian, Teacher

“Zenthai with Harri is a dance, a very relaxing dance in which he does most of the choreography. I felt deeply relaxed and held. Harri understands the body on physical level and a deeper feeling and energetic level as well. I left feeling nourished but also realising my nervous system needs more of that love.”
— Anna of The Hemp Temple

Kari says…

“My first experience with Zenthai Shiatsu was when I decided to participate in the 4 day level 1 course at the Mt Ninderry Healing Centre. The feelings of complete calm, clarity, inner peace, and a deep sense of contentment, even though I was going through some stressful times, made me realise how powerful this healing modality was. Zenthai helped me to reconnect with something far greater than myself. The joy in sharing this with another was profound. I went on to complete the 9 month therapist training course and soon realised this was something special, I had found my gift to share, my purpose. My life changed direction as I left behind my career based path to follow a more fulfilling, joyful and satisfying existence.I am influenced by the greatest teacher – life itself – and inspired by my teachers, clients and students, the natural environment and the innate ability of the human body to heal itself. My intention is to hold a safe and nurturing space for you to reconnect with your true essence, by gently guiding the body to realign so that energy flows freely again bringing you a sense of balance, clarity and peace into your daily life.”

What others are saying:
“My experience of Zenthai Shiatsu with Kari was incredible. I had never had a shiatsu massage before, so wasn’t sure what I was in for, but with the careful and calm guidance from Kari, I was taken on an enlightening, spiritual journey, which left me releasing a lot of pent-up negative baggage I never knew I had. It was the beginning of a wonderful time from there, as I have since gone on to feeling wonderful and happy. I highly recommend a Zenthai Shiatsu treatment with Kari! X”

Client: Sarah Gwonyoma

“I was absolutely blessed to have Kari teach her Zenthai series at the YOGA JUICE studio here in Samoa, we became fast friends and her enthusiasm and excitement for yoga were catchy. My students keep asking when she’ll be back and I’m looking forward to when she does as well. Any studio who is blessed enough to have Kari as a yoga teacher or shiatsu practitioner will also have a great following of students/clients as she shines with so much love. Best of luck Kari. Namaste indeed.”

Through dancing contact improvisation I express myself through movement.  I came to Zenthai because it is such a fluid and dynamic form of bodywork, it is a dance between the therapist and the receiver. Every session will be uniquely different.
My other passion, alongside people, is plants and I have been working as a herbalist for the last 5 years now, foraging and making medicines. These two modalities of herbalism and zenthai flow together and it allows me to offer my clients herbal and dietary advice to go with each session.”

NATAN SAYS

“Our fluid body is a magical place, where it can feel like we slip, slide and move from within, without any thought or effort. Our fluid body is a realm of bliss. We feel as if we are a drop of water in a vast and deep ocean.

Our inner fluid realm is important for optimal health. It is a place of no resistance. Our tensions simply dissolve and melt back into the ground of our body.

It is a place of inner freedom where fear, anxiety, and tension have no lasting hold on us.”.
