Sulis (Sara Firman) said… - Love that origin for your name! My nephew gave me the nickname RaRa (from Sara) and my family use it for my dizzier attributes. My water name Sulis has it's origins here. I knew Inika before her current name, which is so perfect for her. The ones that last are the ones. Love your whale tail also! S

- Hello Sunus and welcome to this network and the new influx of Aquatic Massage folk - great!
I'm curious to know the origin of your name?
I also invite you to join the Spas plus group having noted your experience with Canyon Ranch. Follow the Groups tab above.
I recently mentioned the facility there in a posting on my own aquatic blog, which might interest you. Click here to read.
Your input here most welcome. Sulis

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?
