Words from Merryn ~

“This little gem has been birthed from the passion to empower other Therapists. Being competent and feeling confident are two influencing qualities that entice me to share this practice. Over the past 6 years, many Zenthai Therapists are now specialising in pregnancy therapy from this body of work. I am still amazed how much of an impact Pregnancy Zenthai has on alleviating or drastically diminishing pregnancy related discomforts and symptoms. 

The potency of this practice is wrapped in the honouring and blessing birth and life cycles. It is about ceremony and centreing. It's about wrapping them up with integrative and comprehensive bodywork. What an awe inspiring gift to share this magic with mum and bubs, students and Therapists”.
