Profile Information
- How are you involved in aquatic therapy?
- I have a full time practice offering Aquatic Bodywork and Hellerwork Structural Integration. In the water I use mainly watsu, healing dance, water dance and aquatic integration. I work from a local therapy pool, with around 80% of my clients having some disability or condition restricting movement. I also teach watsu basics, one and two classes and help organize events and watsu happenings around nz. I love the water, the rythym and flow and freedom and the gift of 'being with' /meeting another in the way water allows.

Sulis (Sara Firman) said… - Those photos with Cody are wonderful Carolyn - his delight (and yours) so visible! Thanks for adding descriptions. Perhaps you would like to make them into an album - just click on the photo tab and follow the instructions there. You can then write more about that album on your own blog or in the Healing Dance Group if you like. I'm so happy to see discussions rippling out now! Sulis

- So glad you overcame your techno fears Carolyn (we've all been there).
Your recent posting to the Healing Dancers discussion was wonderful ... just the kind of discussion we are wanting to inspire here. You've rounded out Lana's story. Thanks so much for sharing your aquatic healing skills.
PS I'm posting tips on the Forum about finding your way around the tech side of this network - when you have time you might find that helpful too.
