A new business officially opened its doors in the heart of Eumundi on 6 January, creating a unique space – one that’s less about business and more about belonging. Zenthai Hub is the world’s first full-time practice dedicated to Zenthai Shiatsu Bodywork.
The story of Zenthai Hub is deeply woven into the fabric of the local community. Its founders Keri Wingate and Nathan Hoeksema – both long-time practitioners – have roots that stretch back to the Eumundi markets, where Zenthai Shiatsu was first introduced to the region by Gwyn Williams over 2 decades ago. Keri and Nathan plan to continue this legacy offering a welcoming environment for the whole community to come together.
Beyond daily bodywork sessions, the hub will regularly host small events such as kirtan nights, mini workshops and open market days, where people can gather not just for therapy, but for music, learning and shared experience. These gatherings are designed to nurture both individual wellbeing and collective connection, reflecting the founders’ belief that healing is most powerful when it happens together.
With support from family and friends, Keri and Nathan have created a space that feels less like a clinic and more like a home – a place where everyone is welcome, and where the town’s spirit of kindness and inclusivity is celebrated. “We see ourselves not just as business owners, but as stewards of a tradition that values heart, connection and the simple act of coming together,” said Keri.
Zenthai Hub is located at 97b Memorial Dr between Vinnie’s and Eumundi Coffee Roasters and is open every day from 8am-5pm. Visit: Facebook and Instagram

If you fly on a #Qantas long haul flight you may well find yourself on the David Warren A380. Who was David Warren and why did Qantas name an aircraft after him?
Dr David Warren was the Australian inventor of the black box flight recorder. The black box records the last conversations between crew and other sounds inside a plane and is critical in helping post-crash investigations.
Warren lost his own father in an aircraft crash when he was 9yo. One of the last gifts from his father was a crystal radio. Warren was fascinated by the radio, and it was only during WWII when hobby radios were banned that his attention turned to chemistry. He gained a PhD in chemistry and worked as a researcher at the Aeronautical Research Laboratory in Melbourne.
In the 1950s, he was one of a panel of experts investigating the cause of plane crashes. Inspired by a new dictation machine called the Minifon and drawing on his knowledge of crystal radios, he pitched an idea for a recording device in a plane’s cockpit that could withstand a crash. He developed a prototype but it was not well received by Australian authorities. The British were interested and invited Warren to demonstrate his machine there. During a UK press conference a journalist reportedly referred to the device as a black box and the name stuck.
Following Australia’s worst air crash near Mackay in 1960, Australia changed its attitude towards Warren’s flight recorder. It became the first country to mandate the use of black boxes on commercial flights. Today all commercial flights in the world carry a black box. It is virtually indestructible and interestingly it is not black but bright orange, making it easier to find in crash-site wreckage.
David Warren was awarded an Order of Australia Medal in 2002 for services to aviation. His black box was never patented. ... See MoreSee Less

Sunshine Coast siblings Jonny Giles (founder of The Beach Bars) and Kim Bexon (owner of Food for Her) are taking on an incredible challenge by running 21km every day for 21 days to raise $21,000 for 2 causes close to their hearts: Magnolia Health and Grab Life By The Balls
They’re calling it 21km for 21 Days and the campaign is built around showing up for those who are struggling in silence.
“It can be so easy for mental health to slip without having the right people around you in the hard times,” said Jonny. “We’ve both seen people we love go through pain, stress and loneliness in silence. This is our way of standing beside them and saying: You’re not alone.”
Despite being new to running, Jonny and Kim are taking on 441km from iconic Sunshine Coast locations – inviting the community to run, walk or cheer alongside them. The first run will leave from Cotton Tree Beach Bar on 1 March at 7am.
Funds raised will support women living with endometriosis and chronic pain through Magnolia Health and improve men’s mental health and connection through Grab Life by the Balls. Donate here: t.ly/26CKk Follow the journey: www.instagram.com/21kmfor21days/ ... See MoreSee Less
