Trina LeBrasseur commented on Sara Firman (Sulis)'s group Aquatic Healing for Trauma"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…"

Water and Creativity
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

Sara Firman (Sulis) posted a blog postWorking with military personnel and vets
If you're interested in working with military personnel and vets, please take a look at this video and the comments it has brought. As warm water aquatic bodyworkers our practice can evoke even more strongly the softness of voice and approach that is being RECONSIDERED here ... at least at first.Aside from the use of language and tone that more effectively matches the receiver's own ... I'm reminded of how, with people who are wound-up or muscle-bound-up such that their bodies also carry that…See More

Sara Firman (Sulis) left a comment for ANNA WELTMAN"Hi Anna - I should think that Watsu® would make a good mind-contrast to the focused discipline involved in competitive sport. I noticed that you include expressive art therapy among your disciplines, which I think is very compatible with…"
