What do I offer?
I can help align your body so you can tap into the energy, clarity and creativity needed to achieve your goals. I can assist with this through a range of unique offerings:
-
Zenthai is a blend of yoga Asana, Thai massage, Zen Shiatsu and Osteopathic techniques integrated and woven together with focused intention at its core. A lot of the gestures have been inspired by martial arts, shifting the intention to healing.
Zen Thai has evolved to be widely recognised as a profound structural and energetic therapy. Sessions are tailored to individual needs with an aligned focus on treating relevant issues of the musculoskeletal, digestive and nervous system.
-
Is a bodywork practice where clients benefit from a weightless, inverted and restorative treatment.It is a powerful opportunity to cultivate trust, explore conscious touch and invite the potential for complete surrender.

What to expect in a treatment
To align an appropriate intention into your treatment, we begin with
a confidential consultation on the general state of your wellbeing.
Following this is movement-based bodywork therapy.
All treatments are safe and judgement free, Zenthai Shiatsu is therapy for all ages, experiences and abilities.
Flying Therapy
The yin side of AcroYoga allows us to slow down and cultivate the art of trust, conscious touch and the capacity to let go completely.
With the use of gravity, body weight and harmonics this form of therapy allows a unique conversation with the power to realign and release.
Through inversion we improve oxygen flow to the brain, circulation, posture, lymphatic drainage and hormonal responses.
Relaxes the body and mind to reduce stress
Extends the spine naturally
Frees the body and mind from tension to allow greater body awareness
Removes physical blockages so energy can flow and emotions can be processed
Improves mindfulness and wellness of the client

Yoga
I offer Yoga for adults and kids alike… all ages and all abilities.
I incorporate movement and mobility in and amongst a vinyasa or yin yoga style base. 1 on 1 or in a group we can be outdoors or in an indoor space. My imagination is much like that of a kid, I don't want to limit this offer to pure yoga alone. Feel free to reach out to me and we can make a flow that suits your needs.
Add on an appointment for some zenthai practice after a private yoga session and observe as the world around you melts away.
I relate this combination as highly as doing any plant medicine, and the best part is it's all you and your body and the lasting effects can be permanent.

“Zen Thai with Dave is absolute bliss. As a single mum, freelancer, and business owner, I am more often than not busy, and tired. So when I invest in 'me' time, it is usually Zen Thai, and more specifically, Dave that I turn to. I've had several sessions with him, which has been a real treat, as each session has been quite different, and this is a beautiful reflection of how much is under his belt. I don't know the official definition of Zen Thai, but to me, it feels like a moving massage. He gently manipulates my body into various shapes and presses on the tissues, which calms my nervous system and relieves my tension, physically and mentally.
For me it is highly therapeutic and relaxing. I'm mostly on the ground, but sometimes we'll fly, which is something I looove: feeling my body in space, heavy, but equally light, free, and floating. Over the sessions I have come to trust him wholeheartedly, and so the letting go becomes easier and easier. He pours so much care into these sessions, and creates that safe space and holds it effortlessly. I always look forward to our sessions, and I would highly recommend them to anybody. Actually I think everybody needs it. And when you book to see Dave, book in at least three sessions over time, to see how it marinates in the body, and to experience all the tools and offerings Dave has. Your body and mind will endlessly thank you for it.”
