WATSU® is a warm water therapy developed in 1986 in a
northern California hot springs. In a warm pool, the
temperature being "just right", the person floats
weightlessly (as our bodies are naturally buoyant, although some
use small floats wrapped above the knees for added buoyancy).
The head is supported by the therapist's arm eyes and nose out of
the water. The body is gently twisted, stretched and wafted through
the water in graceful fluid movements as the therapist massages
pressure points. Tense areas release, the limbs become
fluid and joints loosen. The ears are slightly submerged and
the swishing sounds of the water lull the subject into a deep and
tranquil state of relaxation. Long held tension patterns
unwind, physical armoring lets go, and latent patterns of playful
movement begin to emerge. One may be reminded of being in
the womb, or feel jelly-fish like, limbs like tentacles moving
through the water, reconnecting you to your free and playful
nature. As the session progresses, the lack of gravity and
the warmth of the water induces/encourages flexibility, giving the
body more freedom to explore its full range of motion.
WATSU® benefits orthopedic, neurological and rheumatological impairments.
People who experience arthritis, back pain, brain injury, cerebral
palsy, chronic pain, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's
disease, post traumatic stress disorders, spinal cord injury, and
stroke have reported benefits from WATSU® sessions. Healing
can happen at a psychosomatic level: trauma patterns can unwind
and neuromuscular impulses may be awakened and re-patterned for a
healthier sense of self. WATSU® allows for a unique experience.
... with the gentle support of the water, freedom of movement is enhanced,
resistance and tension eased.
... melts tension and trauma that otherwise inhibit your natural free flow of energy.
... one drifts into deeper and deeper states of relaxation as your body is stretched freer and freer.
... As wave like movements loosen, stretches flow gracefully into the next. It’s a slow
dance flowing around moments of stillness and breath. One gets a sense of ... just ... being.
Studies show
that one hour of floatation produces enhanced "theta" activity of
the brain, which correlates with deep states of relaxation.
It has also been suggested that one hour of floatation rejuvenates
the body as effectively as many hours of sleep or meditation.
Regular use of floatation environments produces theses benefits:
- reduces stress, preventing disease

Client Testimonials
From Sally:
WATSU® an ethereal experience; feels like you’re floating as she swishes you
back and forth in the water. This must be how angels feel – free and
light…so relaxing. Eliza is very tuned into you as she stretches you
and moves you through the warm water. It’s sort of a yoga dance in the
water. It’s the closest thing to heaven on earth that you can
experience!
From Kei-Lin:
... I don’t think you know how profoundly
WATSU® has affected and is
changing my sense of being ... I’ve often thought how cool it must be to
be to be a bird or fish, able to glide and soar, dart and float
through sky and water with such effortless grace. It’s a strange blend
of being conscious, yet unconscious at the same time. It is such a
calming time ... sometimes a deep calm ... kinda seeps in ... very relaxing. From
the beginning I sensed I could trust and feel safe with you, and
that’s always been confirmed with each contact. The stretching feels
good too. I'd forgotten how much massage you do in the water; you
always seem to find just the right spots and right pressure. I really
love it when it feels like my body is flying, spinning or speeding
thru the water! It has such a unique feeling of being both
exhilarating yet relaxing at the same time.
From Tamara:
... Working on the computer daily tenses my entire body.
Eliza takes it all away with WATSU®. I love it! It is hard
to describe exactly what WATSU® is and how relaxing it is ... So
my suggestion is just to go try it yourself. You will not
believe the tension that floats away. I especially like the
WATSU®in combination with massage. There is just nothing like
it. Warning ... You will feel like a limp noodle when she is finished.
