What is Zen Thai Shiatsu?
Zenthai shiatsu is a bodywork therapy drawing on the traditional energetic based systems of Zen Shiatsu, Traditional Thai Massage and the remediation techniques of Osteopathy. We help the receiver relax into the parasympathetic nervous system so stagnant energy held in the body can release naturally. This is a holistic practice designed to bring the body, mind, and spirit back to balance, and is a perfect compliment to both active lifestyles, and to lifestyles where one does not get enough movement.
