Aspects of Zenthai
Zenthai Shiatsu Bodywork
Integrating the primary aspects of the traditions of Zen Shiatsu, Thai massage and the remediation techniques of osteopathy, Zenthai has evolved to be widely recognised as an effective structural and energetic form of therapy.
The treatment is on a mat on the floor, cushions are used for your comfort and support.
Restore harmony within your body and mind.
Acupressure Therapy
Acupressure therapy is worked into all treatments. Relieving pain, stress and unblocking energy, acupressure is similar to acupuncture, using fingers to apply pressure instead of needles to work the point.
Moxibustion (or Moxa) entails the burning of mugwort leaves over acupressure points to strengthen the blood, stimulate the flow of qi, and maintain overall health. Moxa is optional and only with client consent.
Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnosis
Each massage session start with a diagnosis including reading the pulse, observing the tongue and sensing the Hara. Insights include both long and short term imbalances, with the goal to bring each element and organ function into balance.
Diagnosis and verbal consultation with clients aligns the treatment intention, which is tailored to each person's needs.
Meet Robyn
Hanami Zenthai is Robyn Webster, hi!
I'm excited to be a qualified Zenthai practitioner graduating from the 9 month training in December 2024. Zenthai rolls all my physical and healing experiences for mind/body/spirit wellbeing into one incredible modality, embodying creativity, intuition and sensitivity.
I'm driven to make a positive impact in this lifetime. After many years in a desk job for creative agencies, I was drawn to Zenthai because of the way sessions I receive make me feel: nourished, grounded and the ability to let go. For me it's more than a massage or treatment, it's about people, connection, healing.
With a highly personalised focus for each Zenthai massage treatment, I'm committed to helping you achieve balance and harmony within your body, emotional wellbeing and spirit-connection.
FAQs
“I have had two sessions with Robyn and both have been excellent. She was very thorough in checking my medical history, and stresses, and she tailored the sessions clearly to what I needed. I slept like a baby that night, both times.
Robyn is very caring and nurturing. I would have no hesitation in recommending her Zenthai treatments to anyone. ”

Hanami represents a deep-seated appreciation for the fleeting beauty of nature... a time when friends and families gather, to reflect on the ephemeral beauty of life mirrored in the cherry blossoms.

Acknowledgement of Country
Hanami Zenthai respectfully acknowledges the traditional custodians of the Country on which we learn and practice together, and Elders past and present. I'm in awe of the connection First Nations Peoples have with the land and sea, animals and flora, and how they have cared for these places so well for so long. We have a lot to learn from these connections.
This land was never ceded. Always was, always will be.
