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.”
