Many clients experience increased mobility and muscular relaxation, decreased pain and muscle spasms, deep emotional release, reduced anxiety, and a profound sense of peace and safety in their bodies.
With regular sessions, clients often report improved sleep, digestion, immune response, emotional resilience, and presence.
"Watsu with Frances was so deep, nourishing and restorative. It was a womb-like experience. I felt held and supported and felt like my body was being deeply listened to. It's kind of beyond words, something to be experienced." Kristen
Currently offered one Saturday per month in a warm, saltwater pool.

Nourish Your Nervous System: Community Floating Meditation
Warm supported stillness—held by pool noodles in bathwater-warm saltwater, accompanied by ocean waves.
This is a shared meditation in community. The pool has a gentle current, which means we'll naturally drift and sometimes bump into each other. Rather than fight this, we'll make it part of our practice: What do we notice when our bodies encounter another? Do we contract or soften? Can we hold care for ourselves and each other as we share this space?
A non-verbal sanctuary for deep rest, presence, and exploring what it means to truly be together. Optional meditation prompts woven throughout.
No experience needed. Sliding scale: $25-35
One Saturday/month, Hermon Maine. Pre-registration required

Resonance: Sound & Water Meditation
Your vagus nerve—the longest cranial nerve in your body—loves vibration. Humming, singing, and vocal toning stimulate it, helping regulate your nervous system and create a sense of calm and safety.
Now imagine doing this while floating in warm water.
Join us for a gentle exploration of sound and resonance in bathwater-warm saltwater. We'll hum together, share simple songs, float while toning, and notice how sound moves through water—and through our bodies.
This is both ancient practice and embodied science. A massage for your nervous system. A reminder that your voice is medicine.
No experience needed. This isn't about performance—it's about vibration, connection, and the healing power of sound.
Sliding scale $25-35. One Saturday/month, Hermon Maine. Pre-registration required.
