What is Water therapy?

Currently NOT AVAILABLE..

This form of 1 on 1 aquatic bodywork consists of having a therapist inviting you to explore your imprints, those invisible layers that overlap to better understand what circulates and acts through you as habit and patterns and how to let it freely flow.

Water is a vital energy that we all can access internally and recharge with the other vital elements of nature (sun, electrolytes, soil and all the earth elements). While the mind takes a pause and leans back in this eased conscious state, the whole body can turn inward and tap into its innate potential of being.

It is first and foremost a felt experience. Everything that leads to unity has an intense healing potential.

This aquatic bodywork is also associated with promoting wellness during pregnancy, and post pregnancy as seen in a study conducted in 2015, which found Water shiatsu “significantly lower[s] participants’ levels of stress and pain and to improve their mental health-related quality of life and mood”. Since taking pain relievers is often discouraged, many women suffer through these weeks without realizing that aquatic pregnancy support might provide much-needed relief.

The particularity of this somatic work is based of the remembrance of being yourself in the womb and recall of the sense of connection that the perinatal world brought with it.
