I offer Zenthai Shiatsu sessions that are slow, strong and deeply restorative—ideal for those who are overworked, injured or seeking nervous system regulation. Blending anatomical knowledge with intuitive touch, I support your body to unwind and rebalance. My treatments are grounding, energising and nourishing for both body and mind.

I’m based in Byron Bay and currently offering sessions at Byron Yoga Studio. I also travel by request. I draw on my background in human kinetics and personal training to support healing from injury, stress and imbalance. Bookings and enquiries via phone, email or Instagram are welcome. I also have a private treatment space. Reach out for more info.

Russell says...

"My work is about reconnecting people with their body’s natural intelligence. With a degree in Human Kinetics and years of experience in personal training and rehab-based movement, I’ve always been drawn to supporting people through physical challenges. Zenthai Shiatsu brought me into deeper connection—blending structure with softness, technique with presence. My sessions meet you where you are: whether you’re holding tension, feeling overwhelmed, or simply needing to drop in and rest. I love working with people who are active and burnt out, injured but still wanting to move, or simply craving a safe space to breathe and be. I aim to offer touch that is respectful, intelligent, and deeply supportive."

‘My Zenthai Shiatsu session with Russell was deeply grounding and nourishing. He holds such a calm, intuitive presence that made me feel safe and seen from the moment I arrived. His touch is both strong and sensitive, flowing with a sense of deep listening. I left feeling lighter, more connected to my body, and truly cared for. You can feel his passion for healing through every movement.’
