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

New understanding of PTSD and the aquatic work of members Diane Tegtmeier and Inika Spence, indicate the potential application of aquatic therapy in healing trauma. This Group has been created to explore and promote that.
This group could explore, discuss and learn from each other the many benefits of working in warm water with the approach that humans have potential to recognize the potential for movement and alignment in the physical, emotional and energetic body.
Many therapies are helpful to aging bodies. Enjoying Water therapy after angioplasty, we learned that some towns are getting all medical travel insurance, dental insurance, and post procedure treatments added to a giant data base for access anywhe...

PS. I welcome comments and questions about the book, since it is written as an evolving model, just like we are always evolving with nature.
Thank you, Sulis for such a generous endorsement of my book. I hope it serves our aquatic therapist community as well as all those aspiring to an integral, natural approach to healing relationships.

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.

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!
