Hello Kim:

I enjoyed reading your postings as they reflect how so many people feel when they share and receive Watsu. I'm looking forward to seeing more dialog about that here. Glad to note that you joined the Aquatic Bodyworkers group too.

Thanks also for posting photos of your venue. One of the biggest challenges for Watsu people is finding or creating places in which to practice. This is perhaps a topic for another Group (called 'Private pool facilities' and covering set up and running etc.?).

If you would like to take the plunge so to speak and start this (or a group of another topic that interests you) please do consider that. I'll be posting more ideas for groups soon and also information on how to do this (though that is all on the site also).

For those who do not know - Harbin Hot Springs referred to by Kim is where Watsu was developed by Harold Dull and where many of the trainings happen. You can find out more here WATSU.

Glad to have your input Kim, Sulis

Thanks so much for your comment on my new blog. I've referenced it on another Spas Plus discussion also as it seemed to add to that too.

HI Kim,
SO wonderful to see your dreams manifesting! Congratulations on creating your pool. Just returned from teaching Watsu 2 at harbin. I am continually amazed at the depth and insight of people who are drawn to this work. I am off soon to share this in a spa training in Istanbul.
all the best, Lexy (ALexis)

Hello Kim

Your responses to the 'aquatic healers questionnaire' are just what I was looking for - thank you!

I have a couple of questions:

When did you introduced aquatic work into your practice (year)?

Are you the sole therapist in your private practice?

I have taken note of the marketing issue, which I agree is very important, and will be covering that in a future posting on the Aquapoetics blog 'In the Flow' which you are subscribing to.

This will also be included the the E-book I am writing about setting up an aquatic practice. I think that your approach of keeping interested and trying out different things (re marketing) is an excellent one.

In fact that is what really comes through in your responses ... that you have been very thoughtful about what you do, and remain passionate about it. People pick up on that.

I will hope to post your profile later this week, as I am out of my office for the first few days of the week.

Thanks again, Kim. In the flow, Sulis

Hello Kim - Click here for a link to your profile on my blog. Thanks for starting that off!

Hello Kim,

I am writing to therapists seeking any information you are willing to share about how to build up clientele?

Thanks!
Mary

Great, thanks so much!

I, too understand about waiting it out. The pool I use was one of many rooms in the retirement home where it resides that was flooded due to frozen water sprinkler pipes! Luckily the pool itself was not damaged. My good friend, Brett taught me the "cowgirl up" mantra. I'll go with that!

I am just starting out, a reporter is about to try this tomorrow, then write about it in the local paper. Fingers crossed that she relays it well to the reader. My next plan of attack is to go directly to referral sources. Doctors and PT's.

I am thrilled to be able to connect with you all on here, this is truely uplifting!

Thanks again, and congrats on the upswing in your business!
