Float, Stretch, Breathe, Be Free...

Watsu®, whose name comes from WATer shiatSU, in it's simplest form is a floating massage.

Your session is composed of an extraordinary fusion of stretching, foot reflexology, Shiatsu point work, stillness and dance, while your entire body is swished and swayed gently through 98° water. This allows me to ease the restrictions in your muscles and joints while you experience the healing properties of the water. My support allows your body to let go of it's tension and pain in ways that are not possible on land. Virtually everyone who receives a Watsu opens their eyes at the end of a session and describes it as the most relaxing experience of their lives. One characteristic that makes Watsu stand out from massage and so many other forms of bodywork is that it gives you the opportunity to go beyond the physical. Bodywork practitioners and physical therapists all over the world use it for treating stress, chronic back pain, arthritis, sleep disorders, trauma, fibromyalgia, and a host of other conditions.
