Meet Your Therapist - Maddie Stephenson
Maddie began their Zenthai Shiatsu studies in 2021, drawn to the way the practice bridges structure, energy, and emotional wellbeing. Over time, this curiosity grew into a vocation centred on inclusivity, presence, and wholeness.
After six years living and working in Bellingen, Maddie is now based on Bundjalung Country in the Byron Shire, offering treatments from a tranquil home clinic, mobile sessions across the Northern Rivers, weekly community clinic work in Brunswick Heads and out of Ritual Space, Mullumbimby.
For Maddie, Zenthai Shiatsu is more than physical therapy. Each treatment is a practice of listening and connection — an invitation to return to the body, regulate the nervous system, and release what has been held for too long.
Guided by values of inclusivity, trauma awareness, and care, Maddie believes bodywork is not only about individual healing but also about nourishing collective wellbeing: when we feel whole, we have more to offer the world.
Clients often describe Maddie’s sessions as grounding, nurturing, and transformational — leaving them lighter, clearer, and more embodied. Pregnancy clients in particular note feeling calmer, more resourced, and better prepared for birth.
You can work with Maddie in a variety of ways:
Private home clinic in the Byron Shire
Mobile sessions across Byron Bay, Ballina, Lismore, and the Gold Coast (by request)
Tallowood Bodywork Sessions — Wednesdays in the Ritual Room, Mullum
Community Clinic every Thursday, 1–6pm at Wheel of Life Studios, Brunswick Heads
