- Hello,
Yes my father's family came from Hungary, but I don't know where. I kept this name because I'm proud of it, and would love to visit Hungary some time. It is wonderful that you are working with kids in the water. I mostly work with adults in the water. It has been a long time since I had a pen pal!

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.
Were you able to attend Carolyn?
