watsu

Watsu is an extraordinary modality of aquatic bodywork in which the receiver experiences many different sensations: deep relaxation, a sense of calmness and an overall feeling of release while being floated in warm water. This aquatic bodywork is a deeply meditative and profound experience that draws on your body’s natural healing energies to bring more comfort, ease, spaciousness, freedom, vitality and balance to all aspects of your body and being.

There are gentle stretches along with Shiatsu massage, Yoga, and the circling movements of Tantsu along with the connection of breath and movement. If applicable Diane encourages the experience of WaterDance where even deeper openings can occur. However the perfect session unfolds it is
reflected in the intuitive presence of being with and available to the needs, the breath and circumstances of each client in each moment.

					WaterDance, also known as Wassertanzen, like Watsu begins with the client held above the surface of the water. And in Wassertanzen the client is then given nose plugs, and gradually and gently taken entirely under the water. Once freed from the bounds of head support and gravity, the client’s body can be moved, stretched, and worked in literally unlimited ways: Wassertanzen incorporates elements of massage, Aikido, dolphin and snake movements, rolls, somersaults, inversions, dance and much more. The effects of this work include deep physical release, and can combine with deep states of relaxation, meditation, bliss and even visions. Some clinically proven benefits of Watsu and WaterDance include: • Deep and often profound Relaxation • Reduced Pain, Stress, and Fatigue • Increased Energy • Reduced Muscle Tension, Weakness and Guarding • Interruption of muscle contractions and pain cycles • Increased Range of Motion • Improved Body Awareness, Muscle Tone, Posture, Breathing, and Skin Circulation • The Recovery and Release of Emotional Issues and deep seated trauma.

And the effects of feeling that sense of oneness with all of life can be a profound message to the central nervous system. Diane treats her clients and patients to an experience of Watsu and WaterDance Therapy combined with the breath which becomes an experience of trusting presence and conscious awareness for growth and inner well being. In conjunction with Healing Waters Diane offers retreat packages for couples and families combining both land and water modalities.
