Who is Gwyn?
​
Gwyn has been teaching his entire adult life. Earlier as a physical education teacher, martial arts instructor and later as a yoga teacher and Zenthai facilitator.
His passion for alternative therapies and connecting his heart with his hands led to him teaching Zen Shiatsu at his created Mt. Ninderry Healing Centre in 2000. Since this initial class he has become a national and international teacher of his own form of bodywork/movement saturated with Thich Nhat Hanh’s quote “ when you touch something with awareness , you touch everything “
The art form of Zenthai Shiatsu has now expanded to 10 schools of the comprehensive floor based bodywork system integrating Zen Shiatsu , Thai massage and osteopathic techniques into a fluid , dynamic and effortless offering .
Hundreds of other teachers can be found throughout the globe sharing the introductory courses, shorter workshops and therapeutic movement -therapy solo classes.
Gwyn's work can be explored through his three books’ The Zen of touch ' 'Connection to Source” and most recently “ Ripples to Waves “ -the www.zenthaishiatsu.com website or the Zenthai healing centres in Australia and Bali.
