Who is Gwyn?
Gwyn Williams is a movement based therapist that created Zenthai shiatsu school over 20 years ago.
On the surface, Zenthai is a fusion of Zen shiatsu, Thai massage and osteopathic technique, however beneath is an enriched conversation with an vibrant ever-changing life.
The dissolving of division into unity continues to be his inspiration and the aspects of community, connection and contribution are at the core of the practice.
Whilst many have been touched by the therapist programs and the multi layered offerings , the art has evolved in movement , an added solo practice and intention as it continues to evolve around Thich Knat Hahn’s powerful reminder -
“ When you touch something with awareness you touch everything “
Gwyn's work can be explored through his books’ The Zen of touch ' and 'Connection to Source”, the www.zenthaishiatsu.com website or the Zenthai healing centres in Australia and Bali.
