Who is this training for?

​

The Zenthai Shiatsu Level 1 training is open to anyone who feels curious or passionate about the healing arts, conscious touch, and holistic therapeutic approaches. It is designed for those who wish to explore a complete and embodied practice that draws from ancient traditions — Thai massage, Zen Shiatsu, osteopathy, and yoga — while integrating them into a modern, intuitive, and living system.

It is ideal for massage therapists wanting to refine their skills, yoga teachers and practitioners seeking to deepen their embodied knowledge, and for anyone wanting to explore the foundations of structural and energetic therapy. It is also a beautiful entry point for those considering the full Zenthai practitioner pathway in the future.

No prior experience in massage or yoga is required. Whether you are already working in the healing arts or simply feel called to explore body-based wisdom, conscious touch, and therapeutic connection, this training is for you.

Modules 1 and 2 are open to everyone: therapists, wellness practitioners, chiropractors, osteopaths, yoga teachers, or anyone curious to deepen their knowledge of the body.
They can be taken separately or together, in the order of your choice.

Together, they form a natural gateway to the 3-year therapeutic cycle, for those who wish to go further and become a certified Zenthai Shiatsu practitioner.

​

Towards the Full Therapeutic Cycle

​

For those wishing to continue, the 3-year therapeutic cycle provides a full immersion into the art of Zenthai Shiatsu.
This path includes advanced modules, immersion weekends, online sessions with Gwyn Williams, the founder, and practical guidance with me.

• 2026: Start of the second year in Chamonix with Gwyn Williams, accessible to anyone who has completed Modules 1 and 2 with a certified instructor.

• 2027: Gwyn returns for Modules 5 and 6, completing the cycle.

In the meantime, several immersion weekends (3 online with Gwyn, 2 in-person or online with me) will support the journey, deepen practice, and help integrate the learnings.

For those wishing to follow at their own pace, it is also possible to take Modules 1 and 2 in 2026, then join the next group for Modules 3 and 4 in 2027.
