Your Local Zenthai Shiatsu Bodywork Therapist, Noosa
Sessions are held every Friday at Ashtanga Yoga Belaku in Noosa, — a space to slow down, soften, and return to your body.
Sanna Coudoux is a certified Zenthai Shiatsu Therapist based on the Sunshine Coast, dedicated to supporting individuals in reconnecting with their body’s innate wisdom, particularly during times of transition, change, and transformation. Her sessions are grounded in deep presence, creating a space where physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual holding can gently unwind and be released. Through the language of touch, Sanna offers a pathway back to the heart, fostering connection, kindness, and compassion as essential medicine for the world we live in today.
With deep respect for each individual’s unique healing journey, Sanna offers a nurturing and grounded environment for transformation. Drawing upon the foundations of Eastern philosophy alongside her intuitive approach, she emphasises the importance of a safe, introspective space where individuals can gracefully return to their true nature. She believes that this reconnection — both within ourselves and with one another — is not only deeply healing for the individual, but an important step toward collective wellbeing.
Blending Thai Yoga Massage, Remedial and Osteopathic Techniques
In-Clinic Sessions — Noosa (Fridays)
Recognising that no two bodies are the same, each session is guided by a focused intention. A series of gestures are intuitively curated, working with the body’s natural rhythm to release tension, clear blockages, and gently guide you back to an innate state of balance. Through intentional touch and awareness, the musculoskeletal, digestive, and nervous systems are considered as a whole — inviting a smooth, unobstructed flow of chi (vital life force) to return. Leaving you feeling aligned and revitalised.

What people are saying:
“My teenage daughter and I have been happy clients of Sanna's for some time. My daughter has Autism and is very sensitive to touch and energy but she finds Sanna is very intuitive and respectful and helps support her whole body and mind systems.
Sanna is a very experienced healer. The way she moves and flows with the body during a Zenthai treatment is deeply transformative and supportive. Sanna is a wonderful practitioner with a capacity to work with the complex relationships between body, mind and soul. There is often healing on many levels. Zenthai is a practice that beautifully connects everything together and Sanna is the conduit for this to happen."
— Amida, Mother
“It's seldom that I get to have an experience of utter release. As someone who works as a healing practitioner and teacher - being supported and held to experience the spaciousness necessary for healing is very rare.
I was so incredibly lucky to have a Zenthai experience with Sanna this week. Her presence in her practice is paramount. I felt truly held, safe and that she really listened to my body. It was an experience I hadn't had in a very long time; both transcendental and grounded. A treatment with Sanna is a journey to say the least. It was a returning home and a letting go. I couldn't recommend her more to anyone (especially those in a similar field to me) feeling like they need to unwind, relax and restore all their senses.”
