Water Therapy
Warm water is the ideal medium for freeing the body and unwinding the mind. Our bodies are over eighty percent water and so it is the natural environment that can dissolve the stress of our lives and release us from the pull of gravity. Being held and moved in warm water heals and feels wonderful!
Watsu® stands for Water Shiatsu.
Offered in spas, rehab clinics, and private pools worldwide, Watsu is a powerful modality for healing trauma, injuries, and stored pain. A heartfelt therapy, where we are cradled, stretched, swirled, and massaged in a 96-98 degree pool, Watsu invites our entire being into deep levels of relaxation, joy, and peace.
Watsu CQ stands for close quarters. These sessions take place in a small pool or hot tub for a more womb-like experience with a focus on deep unwinding and meditating on the waves of the breath. Watsu CQ is also an effective injury rehab and pregnancy therapy.
Water Dance takes Watsu a step further. With a nose clip in place, one is gradually submerged into warm water to achieve an even deeper state of release, enjoy creative insights, and pure bliss.
Shared Watsu Sessions are precious experiences to enjoy with another. One person is ‘floated’ while the other relaxes on a float, then you switch places and finally both swirl together in the magic of warm healing water.
Aqua Natal & Rehab in warm water is a therapeutic exercise class that's especially wonderful during pregnancy. It integrates low-impact fitness, yoga, movement and Watsu, which ease discomfort, swelling, and immobility.
Water Safety & Baby Swim Classes offer lifesaving water safety techniques and how to hold and float your baby. Gradually build confidence and skill, as you gently submerge your happy baby as she discovers the joy of safe, freestyle swimming.
"A big THANKS for the last months worth of such fine bodywork, on land and in the water. You are really one of the very best of the best and I just want to applaud you for integrating all you have been learning over the last decades into an elegant, seamless experience.
