AIDYNSAYS… “We seek what we’ve already been given, we posses the secret to life simply because we are living.” Through body work I have found a deep peace, what it really means to let go. The more we focus on one thing is the more we actively block out everything else, this tension creates blockages that pinch the flow of receptivity, being receptive to each other, our environments and ourselves. Adaptability through harmonising the fuzz of incongruence, life is contrast and we the are artists trying to join the dots, bodywork as the entry point, bringing balance and precision like the brush of a zen calligrapher. So what lies underneath the layers of ourselves?
WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING: “Amazing experience! Aidyn is incredibly down-to-earth and deeply connected in his approach. The atmosphere and vibes were so relaxing and grounding. One session worked wonders for my nerve issues and numbness in my legs—truly transformative. Highly recommend Aidyn’s skilled and attentive care!” Trev
I loved it! Aidyn has an amazingly wholesome touch and presence. His attention to detail and a care leave me feeling. nourished and very relaxed. My body had a new spark after the treatment with some chronic pain leaving for a couple of weeks! Can’t wait to be back! Debra

Andrea SAYS…
Meeting Zenthai and its mindful community felt like coming home, fulfilling a long-time search. Since the first day of my Level One course, my life has changed exponentially. It helped me make a significant shift, both in my profession and spirituality.
Today, Zenthai has become a way of life, inspiring me daily to serve myself and others with more intention and care. I strive to embody the Five Elements Theory as much as I can, so that I can live closer to our true nature and in harmony with it. For this reason, I aspire to live as closely connected to nature as possible.

Thank you, Andrea, for this meaningful experience.
Greta, ayurvedic practitioner
Receiving a treatment from Andrea was a unique and deeply transformative experience. From the very first moment, I could feel his light and the heart he pours into everything he does. Andrea doesn’t just perform a treatment—it’s as if he is connected to something greater, to the universe itself. His ability to work from the heart makes him a beacon that lights the way, and this is something truly rare.
During the session, I felt that I wasn’t just relaxing but also bringing to the surface parts of myself that had been stuck for a long time. It was as if Andrea had the gift of helping me uncover what is true, and thanks to this, I experienced a profound sense of liberation.
His presence and his gift allowed me to tap into a creativity I hadn’t felt in years. It was as if, through his work, I could see myself reflected in him, finally finding the courage to embrace the part of me I had neglected.
Andrea has a deep connection, not just with his heart but with his soul. It’s rare to meet someone with such authenticity and presence, and I can say that I immediately felt his essence.

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:

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

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

Body work allows us to break down the discord of separation between our bodies, our surroundings, and the mysteries we don’t yet fully understand. Zenthai invites us to appreciate deeper, to connect and listen to the magic that is around us all of the time. I have come to understand how marvellous our human vessel is! This body holds incredible wisdom and healing potential, my life has been a constant search for practices and lifestyles that help me harmonise the ups and downs of the unknown.

Harri Vann
~Zenthai Shiatsu Therapist ~ Movement Teacher ~ Byron Bay area & Avalon Sydney
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.

He creates a safe space for the nervous system to unwind, relax, restore, replenish and be held.

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

Jules says…
“Practising Zenthai Shiatsu has brought back memories of my childhood: the bush, the bare feet, the freedom – it breathes the Traditional Chinese Medicine Five Elements of Nature; Earth, Metal, Water, Wood and Fire.
After working within the corporate world, I found myself being drawn back to a space which promoted presence and awareness, physically, mentality , emotionally and spiritually.
This allowed me to connect with self and others, get back in my body through a gentle way of flowing with the form instead of against it.
Zenthai Shiatsu is that space for me. I am deeply in love with the rhythm of this soulful dance; and the depth and density of this grounded and connected art form.
This practice is for everyone – a natural, non-invasive way to re-fuel your energy levels, release trauma, calm your nervous system and assist with optimal structural health, through the power of touch and the integration of the physical and energetic bodies.
Reconnect with your breath and “change the rhythm of your vibration.”

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”
