Profile Information
- How are you involved in aquatic therapy?
- I've been an avid swimmer all my life. Lifeguard in high school. Taught swimming to kids ages 4-18 in Canada through the CRC when I lived in Toronto and couldn't get a nursing job. This experience paired with my NICU career taking care of preemies led me to develop the concept that is the construct behind WaterWayBabies.
- Your discipline or title (PT, OT, CTRS, ATC, SLP, Watsu practitioner, adapted aquatics instructor, whatever!)
- I am a BSN RN. My WSI is inactive. I'm also SCUBA certified, advanced. I currently working on my PhD in nursing.
- Location (city, state, country)
- Houston, TX, USA
- What temperature, depth(s) and approx dimensions is your therapy pool (if you have one):
- The pool I sell to parents is 30 inches tall and 30 inches deep, made of heavy plastic with a drain at the bottom. It comes with a water thermometer that shows the parent how warm to make the water.
- Do you have any teaching experience?
- Yes, as mentioned above, I taught kids all ages, but that was a long time ago. After that I taught infant swimming for several years, including my own two kids. More recently, I have been working with adults on an individual basis for stroke improvement and technique. This is on the side in addition to my business, WaterWayBabies.
- Main patient populations:
- Peds
- What unique products or services do you offer:
- WaterWayBabies is a very unique, effective, and inexpensive ($90+shipping) for parents to use at home as an adjunct to traditional therapeutic and aquatic interventions.

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.
