OPEN HOUSE @ Boulder Heads

Saturday, 7 March


Have you been curious about Zenthai Shiatsu and wondering what it’s all about?

Zenthai Shiatsu is movement-based bodywork that weaves together Zen Shiatsu, traditional Thai Massage, and Osteopathic techniques. Zenthai Shiatsu works with acupressure points, breath and gentle movement to help release tension, improve mobility and support overall balance in the body.

Our Open House is a great chance to experience this style of bodywork at a reduced rate — while still enjoying a full, deeply impactful 60-minute session. Four trained Zenthai Shiatsu therapists will each be offering three sessions on the day.

Each session will be held in a relaxing and calm shared space. The private 1:1 sessions are tailored to your specific needs providing a personalised experience. Session will be fully clothed and practiced on floor mat.

We’re hosting this Open House at Boulder Heads Indoor Climbing Gym, making it especially great for climbers and active bodies.

Zenthai Shiatsu is great for:

  • releasing muscle tension

  • improving flexibility and movement

  • supporting recovery after climbing or training

  • calming the nervous system

We recommend booking your session after your climb to allow your body time to fully relax and integrate the session.

You definitely don’t need to be a climber to join us — everyone is more than welcome!

Simply lie back, get comfortable, and relax while your therapist guides you through the session — there’s nothing you need to do.

We can’t wait to see you!

How Zenthai Shiatsu Works

Zenthai Shiatsu addresses blockages and imbalances in the body by weaving together Zen Shiatsu, Traditional Thai Massage, and Osteopathy.

Zen Shiatsu

Zen Shiatsu, rooted in the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), works with the body’s energy meridians, using acupressure to restore flow and harmony. It may also include supportive practices like cupping, moxibustion, or lifestyle and dietary guidance.

A central part of this approach is the philosophy of the Five Elements—Earth, Metal, Water, Wood, and Fire. These elements reflect the rhythms of nature and show how imbalances might appear as physical symptoms, emotional patterns, or energetic stagnation. By working with them, Zenthai Shiatsu helps realign the body’s inner landscape with the natural flow of life.

Traditional Thai Massage

This element of Zenthai Shiatsu brings dynamic movement and deep release. Through assisted stretching, rhythmic pressure, and gentle rocking, it helps ease muscular tension, dissolve energetic blockages, and restore mobility. The flowing nature of Thai Massage invites the body to soften, lengthen, and return to its natural state of ease.

Osteopathic Techniques

Drawing on principles of Osteopathy, Zenthai Shiatsu includes joint mobilisation and connective tissue (fascia) release. These techniques gently unwind holding patterns in the body and restore balance to the structural framework. When the joints and fascia are free, circulation, energy, and nerve flow can move unhindered—allowing the whole system to function with greater vitality.

Benefits of Zenthai Shiatsu

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Zenthai Shiatsu is a gentle yet powerful practice that supports people who are ready to feel more ease, flow, and connection in their bodies.

    It may be for you if you:

    • Carry tension in your neck, shoulders, back, or hips and want lasting relief

    • Spend long hours at a desk or on your phone and notice postural tightness or fatigue

    • Feel stressed, anxious, or struggle with sleep and want to calm your nervous system

    • Long for a way to reconnect with your body and feel more grounded

    • Want a holistic approach that honours your physical, emotional, and energetic wellbeing

    Most people describe their experience as deeply relaxing yet revitalising. You may feel lighter in your body, calmer in your mind, and more grounded in yourself.

  • Each session begins with a short chat to tune in with how you’re feeling in your body and what you’d like support with on the day.

    The treatment itself takes place on a comfortable floor mat, and you remain fully clothed. Through a combination of gentle stretching, rhythmic movements, joint mobilisation, fascia release, and acupressure along the meridians, tension begins to unwind and the body finds new space and ease.

    As the body unwinds, it’s possible for emotions to surface—sometimes softly, sometimes more strongly. This doesn’t happen for everyone, but when it does, it’s simply your system letting go of what it has been carrying. Everything that arises is welcome, and the session offers a safe space for that release.

    To close, we’ll take a few moments to integrate—either with a short reflection chat, or a quieter landing before you head out. Depending on your needs, you might also be offered simple practices or take-home suggestions to support your integration in the days that follow.

  • Please wear light, comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely—similar to what you’d wear for yoga or stretching. Avoid jeans, belts, or anything restrictive. Since Zenthai Shiatsu is practiced fully clothed on a floor mat, soft breathable fabrics make it easier for your body to relax and for the movements to flow with ease.

  • No special preparation is needed. Simply wear comfortable clothing and arrive a few minutes early so you don’t feel rushed. It can help to avoid a heavy meal or too much caffeine right before your appointment.

    You may also wish to take a few moments beforehand to notice how you’re feeling in your body and mind—any areas of tension, fatigue, or emotions. Bringing this awareness into the session allows the work to meet you exactly where you are.

    Afterwards, give yourself some quiet space if possible—drink water, take a gentle walk, or spend time in nature—to let your body integrate the experience.
