Imagine drifting into a world where you feel weightless, and free from physical tension, and stress.

Common pregnancy symptoms such as backache, swelling, heaviness or tiredness can be helped with Watsu. During the Watsu session expectant mums also derive special pleasure from Watsu, since the warm water relaxes lower back tension, and soothes away pain and stiffness.

One woman who was eight months pregnant and frequently had Watsu sessions described her experience as a special time when her body felt light, free from discomfort and at peace.

The feeling was like “floating on a cloud,” she said.

During a Watsu® session, your back will feel supported and at ease as your buoyancy in the water relieves the extra pressure that you feel with baby inside.

With the body afloat in warm water, Watsu® allows for the gentle mobilisation of joints, and soft tissues that is difficult to achieve on land.

You will also feel you baby’s response to the space that buoyancy creates, often a source of much joy!

Gentle and Soothing

A qualified Watsu practitioner performs gentle fluid movements in harmony with the receiver's breathing patterns to inspire the natural regeneration of the mind and body.

Freedom

The warmth of the water promotes circulation while generating a deep state of relaxtion, enhancing the body's reponse to the positions by releasing long-held physical tensions, and relieving pressure on the spine and throughout the entire body.

Peaceful

A Watsu session is a slice of time when one can experience a unique disconnection with the outside world. It is a period when time has no relevance, and the focus becomes inward as external stimuli are removed. The profound Watsu experience is like no other.
