Testimonials
‘My name is Tim and I have had many different massages in my life. But NOTHING compares to the Zenthai Shiatsu that Lilamani can do. Last year I came to Lilamani with lower back problems that others could only patch. Lilamani has given me a new life by her techniques and exercises that now enable me to manage myself. After a session with Lilamani my pain goes and I can sleep better at night.
I believe I have found an amazing therapist and I can only hope that you try Lilamani for yourself to get the results you are looking for. This is more than just a massage. It is an exotic, relaxing, timeless EXPERIENCE. Once you feel the difference you won’t go anywhere else and you will find yourself on cloud nine! Thank you so much Lilamani, Here’s to good health!’
~ Tim, Brisbane
‘Lilamani gave me the most wonderful massage – in fact the best massage of I’ve ever experienced. The reason for this was that her massage technique is like a bridge between therapeutic technique and relaxation practice which puts you in a deeply meditative state. Upon walking into her studio and the initial introduction, I felt an instant calmness and was able to fully relax into a specially-tailored and personal treatment that renewed my body and spirit – and that was only one hour!’
~ Nic, Brisbane
‘Lilamani has a magical touch that instantly reassured me that I was In ‘safe hands’. I felt comfortable enough to relax and surrender and allow the flow of the Zen Thai Shiatsu massage take effect through Lilamani’s expertise and gentle guidance. What I enjoyed most about this style of traditional oriental massage is the energetic flow, as opposed to just a passive experience. I felt this enabled my body to move into stretches, and release just what was needed at that precise moment without strain. After the massage, I immediately felt the benefits and enjoyed a deep nights sleep.’
~ Rebecca, Brisbane
‘I’ve had 4 or 5 treatments with Lilamani and have found them to be the best bodywork treatments I’ve experienced, and I’ve had a lot of bodywork. The integrity and thoroughness of the process is striking. I felt very safe and cared for and as a result feel more grounded and open. I’m aware of deeper unconscious layers being revealed and look forward to continuing with this work.’
~ Manfred, Brisbane

This Level 1 course is ideal for anyone – whether your are wanting to continue on to become a Zenthai Shiatsu practitioner, or would like to add some new approaches to treating the body for the experienced therapist, or would love to simply be in the experience – to gift yourself with the opportunity to soak up being in connection with nature, yourself and others through guided massage touch. Come, and gain confidence in proven techniques whilst learning this beautiful form of holistic massage.
Created by the founder of Zenthai Shiatsu, Gwyn Williams, it’s the pre-requisite for all other Zenthai courses that he teaches and is the foundation for the nine month practitioner training.
Woman’s Moon Flow (women only) click here for flyer
Come and be lead through an afternoon of learning, sharing, healing and embodied practices – focussed on empowering you to tune into and support your body’s physical, emotional and spiritual needs through your woman’s cycle.
You’ll be guided through easy self care practices and understandings to support you through your bleeding days, and allow your body an opportunity for womb healing. You’ll also learn some beautiful zenthai style massage to give and receive with the women in your life… or teach your parter! And we will share in the rich gifts that are available in a women’s circle, sharing, trusting and supporting each other with our presence and open heartedness. This workshop is equally ideal for women who are post menopausal or women who have had an hysterectomy. You can learn how to integrate a regular time of feminine rest in your lifestyle, whilst being encouraged to connect with the depth of your woman’s body and womb energy.
Therapeutic AcroYoga click here for flyer
Therapeutic AcroYoga is giving healing touch whilst suspending the receiver passively in the air. Gravity on our side deepens the massage touch, and the relaxed postures softly stretch our receiver to allow for deep opening of their body and energy channels. You will have full opportunity to give and also surrender as the receiver.
Whether you come from a background of yoga, acro or massage, this workshop will have something for you. Throughout the 2 afternoons, together we will play and explore all three elements. Weave them into a therapeutic flying flow.
Partner Massage
Would you and your partner like to learn some new ways to touch and give massage to each other? Where you don’t need to set up a massage table or deal with a lot of messy oils? Then come and learn the dance of Zenthai Shiatsu with each other. In this one day workshop you’ll each learn, give and receive a beautiful massage sequence… to support the release of physical tension, to feel more ease within and relaxed, and to support opening and connection between you both. Once home you can give the whole sequence to each other, or at other times request or offer just your favourite techniques. We weave in tantric awareness with some techniques opening heart and sex energy channels, supporting your loving intimate connection. These techniques can be received anytime, and can be great before moving into foreplay or lovemaking. Come play and dance with each other through massage!
