When a person cries or sobs in my arms during a float, there is so much compassion and love I feel for them. I learned in Inika's healing dance class that scary can be a good thing, and not to be afraid to let the client let it out. Thank you everyb…
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.
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.
Sometimes 'therapy' doesn't capture the playful inspiration of what we do in the water. This group is for exploring creative ideas in the water for their own sake ... many of which have great healing potential.

- Welcome Trina! I loved Breitenbush when I visited and wish I could remember the Watsu person I met there - perhaps it was you? She was very kind to let us borrow the pool which was quite a climb to get into. And told the cautionary tale of once accidentally leaving the hot springs water filling it and melting the vinyl! Please make yourself at home here and join or start discussions as you feel inspired. SUlis

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…
This group is for discussions about the practice and promotion of aquatic bodywork in spas, other leisure settings, and private venues. A place to share some of the issues faced and support each other.
Couples Watsu would be an activity that the Spa could promote as well as Mother daughter days .
For pediatric aquatic therapists/instructors who work with children on the autism spectrum. We will be sharing our coolest treatment ideas and creating a mock protocol for the infant, toddler, and school aged child demonstrating autism traits.
