~ Listening Touch ~ Zenthai Shiatsu Massage, Healing Therapy

Here on the Sunshine Coast at Listening Touch, we offer deeply restorative therapy through the heartful art of listening and holistic touch. We know this to be simply care and kindness

Our work is grounded in supporting one's whole being—body, mind, heart, and soul — guiding you gently toward greater vitality, balance, and harmony in your life and relating-ships.

Every session is a new beginning, tailored to suit your State of Being. What is stirring within you—physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually? Through heartfelt listening, we design a personalised treatment acknowledging what your body requires and integrating psychosomatic techniques that honour your individual needs in this moment.

Together, we explore the rhythms of your diet, sleep, cycles and lifestyle, offering insights drawn from Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurvedic principles. Thus helping you to reconnect with your own innate wisdom & natural alignment. From this state healing continues beyond the mat, as you learn to nourish your own system with awareness and intention.

Zenthai Shiatsu is the primary modality at the heart of our practice. This relatively new modality is a dynamic fusion of ancient healing systems including:

Traditional Thai Massage – offering assisted stretches and mobility 

Zen Shiatsu – working with meridian lines and energetic pathways
Osteopathic Techniques – supporting structural alignment of the musculoskeletal system
Acupressure – similar to acupuncture, though using touch instead of needles
5 Element Theory - offering a diagnostic lens to evaluate and balance one's being   

 All of these are applied with focused intention and heartfelt presence allows for a uniquely different experience every session.

We know ourselves to be intuitive therapists—attuned to what arises, what longs to be seen/heard/held, acknowledged or released. Through this gentle, respectful approach, we offer not just treatment, but a space in which you become the healer—awakening your body’s innate capacity to return to wholeness. In this process, we trust. 🙏💗🙏

Listening Touch practitioners are certified Thai Massage Therapists, with further training in Shiatsu, Acupressure,  Nonviolent Communication (NVC), Emotional Release Techniques, Trauma Therapy, and Breathwork. 

Our Life Coaching & Relationship Support sessions offer a safe and sacred space where your heart is invited to be expressed—what we call 'hearticulation'. Here, you are witnessed in your truth, and together we hold space for clarity, resolution, and transformation to happen —both within yourself and within your relating-ships.
