Inner stillness begins with touch
Dina Gabai, Tel Aviv — Shiatsu therapist and meditation guide since 2009, accompanying deep life transitions in body, mind and spirit, on the meditation path of the Zen spirit.
Shiatsu and Zen treatment are not a meeting between therapist and patient in the conventional sense. Rather, Shiatsu offers a human encounter — attentive and gentle touch, a true partnership, setting out together to discover a path of healing and compassion.
The Shiatsu & Zen practice is a place of companionship and healing — full of life, and life-giving.

Support through life's deep transitions — sleep, growth, separation, aging, addiction and loss
My name is Dina Gabai. I live and practice in Tel Aviv, with nearly thirty years on the meditation path of the Zen spirit. I have practiced Shiatsu since 2009 in my private clinic, and taught for nine years in parallel at a public health clinic. I lead a weekly meditation group, and guide training and deepening processes in the meditation and Shiatsu path.
"As a longtime lover of body treatments, when I first came to Dina, I thought to myself, 'this will be just another one.' But since then, it's turned every other therapist and treatment into 'just another one.' It doesn't much matter to me whether it's called Shiatsu, Tuina, or something else entirely — what happens in the session is pure pleasure paired with a calm I haven't managed to reach in any other treatment.
There's no need for candles, oils, or unnecessary decorations; Dina's touch is powerful and healing, and I find myself trying to hold onto every moment, envying myself from a few minutes earlier, when a whole session still lay ahead of me.
Today I believe that treatment with Dina isn't a luxury but such an important part — for body and soul — in the busy, stressful routine of life in this place and time.
And beyond the touch — she is a magical, warm, and one-of-a-kind personality. If there's a heaven, it has an unlimited punch card for sessions with Dina. Try it, enjoy it, and... don't steal all my appointments!"
