Aquatic Bodywork : WATSU® & WATA®
For whom: For everyone who loves water and for those who want to heal a water trauma
The aquatic bodywork is a massage in warm water (35 celsius) that combines gentle graceful movements, stretching, acupressure, mobilization of the joints in connection with breathing, conducted both on the surface (WATSU®) and underwater (Waterdance®).
A WATSU® Session (WaterShiatsu) starts with a relaxation phase on the water surface, where your body is just floated, your head is supported, allowing you to relax and your breathing to deepen and flow naturally. Harmonious spiral and wave movements alternate with energetical work in stillness.
WATA® (WaterDance) : If you are open to it, the underwater phase begins. You receive a noseclip that keeps water from entering your nose. Manuela connects with the natural flow of your breathing to dive and surface your head, in a way that allows you to let go and relax. You enter the underwater 3-dimensional world while gravity disappears.
GOALS
I accompany you on the physical as well as on the verbal level and cares to give space for your feelings. You will be supported according to your state of mind and individual needs (physical well-being, psychosomatic therapy...).
