A JOURNEY BEYOND PAIN

Pain is more than discomfort—it’s an invitation. An opportunity to listen, to explore, and to heal not just the body, but the emotional and spiritual layers that lie beneath. At Zhen Bodywork, Anna Du integrates the transformative power of Rolf Structural Integration and Body Deva work to guide you on a journey of deep healing and self-discovery.

MORE THAN MASSAGE

Rather than offering a quick fix, Anna’s approach honors the wisdom of your body. Through intuitive touch, structural alignment, and energetic balance, each session is designed to help you release tension, unlock emotional holding patterns, and reconnect with your true self.

WHAT IS ROLF STRUCTURALINTEGRATION?

Rolf Structural Integration, or Rolfing, is a powerful form of bodywork that works with the body's fascia—the connective tissue that surrounds muscles and organs. Through deep, intentional touch and movement, Rolfing helps to realign the body, improve posture, and release deeply held tension. More than physical relief, this technique fosters a profound mind-body connection, supporting emotional release and the steps towards inner transformation.

WHAT IS BODY DEVA WORK?

Body Deva Work is a holistic approach that acknowledges the body as an intelligent, living system with its own consciousness. This practice involves deep listening and energetic alignment, allowing you to communicate with your body's innate wisdom and your inner child. By working with the body's subtle energy fields, Body Deva Work helps release emotional blocks, past trauma, and stored tension, promoting a sense of wholeness and well-being on a physical, emotional, and spiritual level.

TESTIMONIALS

  • I have found your healing powers so gentle, yet so potent, and felt safe, warm and nurtured in the soft space of healing you create. Your kind and gentle heart mixed with your powerful energetic healing capabilities invites a sense of security, of being seen and complete safety in letting go. The healing journey is hard for most people but you make it seem doable and gentle - which is what so many humans need right now

  • Anna was very professional and calm and kind and talked me through each stage of the my Rolfing session, explaining that I had to participate in the work and it was not a passive activity. I felt an energy come around me as Anna did her work with me. There was a release of pain and an opening through my rib cage of the heart chakra. I felt more open, more strong and centred. It seemed to realign my physical body and in doing so, it helped heal some part of the inner self too.

  • I did not know anything about Rolf SI and had no idea what to expect. After the 10 sessions were completed, I signed up for another 10. I had amazing results. A good example is that one of my ankles had been swollen for about 8 years after a botched foot operation. After the first 3 sessions with Anna, the swelling was gone and has never returned. Anna is a very gifted Rolf SI therapist
