Aqua News: Trauma Healing in the Water and Schedules

AquaNews from Inika and Diane October, 2008
In this issue:
Dear Readers
Introduction to Trauma Healing in Water
Our Teaching Schedules

Dear Readers:

Diane's musings: Autumn is shining its golden light on Harbin Hot Springs, and we've even had a fine drizzle of rain. Temperatures are dropping from the searing 100s to the balmy 70s (degrees Fahrenheit) and even the flies and hornets are slowing down as the Earth comes into balance of light and dark at the autumn equinox. It's a great time to be… Continue

Hello Inika! My name is Monika and I am an LMT and a Ceritfied Aquatic Massage Therapist from Tucson. I am moving to Sonoma County (just south of Santa Rosa) on Nov 1st and I am looking for a pool to rent in the area. Sulis suggested that I got in touch with you about it. In particular, she mentioned WABA website as a resource I might check. Please let me know if you might have any ideas for me. Thank you so much!
With my very best regards

Here's an interesting discussion in the Abuse/Trauma Group I've just joined on another network (more on the neck issue) - the organizer is putting together a list of people who work with this. Thought you might like to know and perhaps be on that list. Would be so good to have aquatic representation. S xxx

Hi Inika,
I've just been following this little thread, and I actually have become a provider for Aetna and Uniform, and can bill watsu as massage therapy! Aetna pays well, $115. Uniform not so well, so I make the clients pay an additional $30 for the pool rental fee.

More information on The Waters qualification appears on this page. It applies only to people practicing in Ontario, Canada and it does enable insurance coverage. It says it is based on Watsu and Jahara but significantly different in ways mentioned but not easily defined I think. Interesting to know about.

Hello and thanks!

Claudia Salzmann in Ontario Canada, The Waters in Niagra-on-the-Lake

www.thewaters.ca

She has studied Watsu & Jahara, then adapted what she learned so that it could fit into the scope of practice for massage therapy. She is quite a pioneer, I am truely grateful for what she has done, and her approach. ( She opted not to trademake, instead giving it over to the higher good! ! ! )

I have worked with adults so far, not yet trying the craniosacral work in there.

Thanks for the reply! Looking forward to chatting more!

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…
