About Kokoro Therapy
Welcome to Kokoro Therapy, where ancient healing wisdom meets modern wellness practices on the beautiful Surf Coast. Founded by Nelly, Kokoro Therapy offers a holistic approach to health and wellness through the powerful combination of Zen Thai Shiatsu bodywork and yoga.
Our Approach
Kokoro Therapy embraces the profound connection between mind, body, and spirit. At the heart of our practice is Zenthai Shiatsu, a transformative healing modality that seamlessly weaves together multiple therapeutic traditions:
Traditional Thai Massage techniques
Japanese Shiatsu energy work
Osteopathic principles
Yogic wisdom
Zen mindfulness practices
Chinese suction cupping therapy
This unique integration allows for deep healing on multiple levels – physical, emotional, and energetic. By addressing the body's internal pathways of blood, Ki/Qi, and nerves, we help restore natural flow where blockages have occurred due to trauma, postural imbalances, or external factors.
Our Chinese suction cupping therapy complements these approaches by enhancing circulation, relieving muscle tension, reducing inflammation, and promoting detoxification through the lymphatic system.
Whether you're seeking relief from physical discomfort, emotional tension, or simply wanting to deepen your connection with yourself, Zenthai Shiatsu offers a path to wholeness and well-being. Our practitioners create a safe, nurturing environment where healing can unfold naturally, allowing you to experience profound relaxation and restoration.
The Experience
Nelly welcomes clients to her peaceful home sanctuary in Jan Juc, where sessions take place in a warm, nurturing environment. Clients remain fully clothed during the floor-based treatment. Through mindful touch, gentle stretches, and energy work, Zen Thai Shiatsu helps:
Release physical tension and pain
Balance energy flow throughout the body
Process and release stored emotional tension
Deepen body awareness and connection
Promote overall relaxation and well-being
Located on the stunning Surf Coast, Kokoro Therapy invites you to experience the transformative power of Zen Thai Shiatsu and Yoga. Let us support you in finding inner peace and renewed vitality through this profound healing practice.
Nelly is an incredible Zen Thai Shiatsu massage therapist! She intuitively focused on the areas in my body that were holding deep physical and emotional tension, gently releasing these spaces and creating a profound sense of freedom and lightness. Her energy is so beautiful and calm, making it easy to fully relax and feel supported throughout the session.
