WHAT I DO

Sunbear Shiatsu is one of Australia’s leading pain relief and pain management clinics, run by Gerald.

"I am certified shiatsu and SCENAR practitioner with over ten years experience on the futon. My style is intuitive however I am very attentive to the style of shiatsu that my clients prefer, from soft and gentle to firm and strong.  

Touch serves as a guide, facilitating your own innate ability to heal, allowing you to fully engage with the healing process to ultimately unlocking your self-healing potential.

Currently I am enrolled in a diploma for hydrothermal wellness, to increase my knowledge of complementary therapies. 

In my spare time, I enjoy keeping fit with home fitness, infrared sauna and ice bathing. I am interested in foreign languages (with my Dutch background;), and am currently learning Japanese. 

I enjoy road trips and spending time the Australian bush with my family. "
