Working with the physically and mentally handicapped using HD in Amsterdam
I'd like to share this recent article by Alexander Georgeakopoulos.
A Conversation with Ed Rensenbrink and Annemarie Schrama - document attached.
It is a companion piece to his interview with Marja Pijpers and Saskia van Rees.
Alexander notes:
Ed and Annemarie are Dutch sports teachers and, like Marja and Saskia, are working with the physically and mentally handicapped, using primarily Healing Dance in their water sessions. They treat patients in two pools in Amsterdam in collaboration with physical therapists. I learned quite a lot from them as they described this unusual application of Healing Dance. All photographs appearing in the article are used with permission. Enjoy.
This article is also available on his AquaticWritings website, at:

as well as on the official Healing Dance website at:

I have known of persons who sponsored and taught caregivers and those being given care to share Watsu(R)
It provides a sense of sharing and giving back for the caregiver to receive....
Other thought: to provide another opportunity nearby for the car…

Couples Watsu would be an activity that the Spa could promote as well as Mother daughter days .
