WATSU

AQUATIC BODYWORK IS A HEALING JOURNEY FOR YOUR BODY AND YOUR SOUL

A weightless, fluid dance of movement and stillness availing the natural flow and resistance of warm water, stretches, compression, joint mobilization, massage, and your body’s innate wisdom to heal through movement.

Over the course of a session, your muscles relax, your body unwinds, your mind loosens its hold on you… allowing you to experience deep states of peace and relaxation.

Water invites us to fully connect with our essential nature. In doing so, we begin to understand our connection to everything.

Studies have shown many benefits of Aquatic Bodywork, including:

  • RELIEVES MUSCLE TENSION, BACK PAIN & JOINT STIFFNESS

  • INCREASES FLEXIBILITY & MOBILITY

  • DOWN-REGULATES THE NERVOUS SYSTEM

  • PROMOTES DEEP RELAXATION, CALM, & BALANCE

  • DECREASES ANXIETY & EFFECTS OF STRESS

  • REDUCES ADHD & ADD SYMPTOMS

  • IMPROVES BREATH & SLEEP PATTERNS

  • IMPROVES DIGESTION & IMMUNE RESPONSE

  • ENHANCES MIND/BODY CONNECTION

I USED TO BE A DOLPHIN…

LONG BEFORE WATSU OR FILMMAKING OR MEDITATION, I reckon I LIVED BENEATH THE WAVES

As a documentary filmmaker, I’ve always been drawn to stories that inspire us to recognize the humanity in others and feel our own humanity more deeply, and to life experiences that do the same.

As time passed, I began to embrace more and more my role as human being over human doing. With this came more and more meditation and time in nature. And the subsequent rediscovery of ancient and timeless memories of when we all were one, and the growing sense that we all still are.

Which brings me to this current time. To these offerings in water, designed to support healing and restore our natural connection to self, to others and to nature. 

I am a WABA (Worldwide Aquatic Bodywork Association) certified Watsu® practitioner. I trained with Cameron West and Mary Seamster, two OG Watsu powerhouses, and am expanding my training in Aquatic Integration® with Cameron West. My meditation certification draws on many traditions, as taught to me by my amazing mentor, Sarah McLean, at MMI in Santa Barbara, CA. My (land) bodywork instruction, including Cranio Sacral, Shiatsu, and Swedish massage came from the many talented teachers at McKinnon Massage Institute in Oakland, CA. 

In addition to my private Watsu practice in various Bay Area pools, I volunteer with adults and seniors with a wide array of developmental disabilities at the Janet Pomeroy Center pool in San Francisco.

I truly believe in the transformative power of all of these modalities. I’d love to share them with you and be your partner in re-awakening and supporting your body’s own innate ability to heal.

It feels good to feel good.

OneWith is the understanding that everything in existence is interrelated, interconnected, and interdependent.

In the spirit of OneWith, we embrace and explore our connections with one another, with nature, and with the deepest aspects of ourselves.

In a culture that has us stressed out, overwhelmed, plugged in, emotionally and spiritually disconnected, and feeling generally depleted, OneWith illuminates ways to find peace, connection, and a deeper sense of fulfillment.
