Water
Water
Warm water. Music. Collective care. Permission to be exactly who you are.
Move intuitively in bathwater-warm saltwater. Structured enough to feel safe, spacious enough to surprise yourself. Go underwater or stay on the surface. Slowness and stillness welcome.
No experience needed. Nose plugs available.
“For me it awakened grace and exploration, a sort of rebirth into the experience of being embodied.” K.S.

Practiced in warm (95°F) water, the foundation of Watsu is unconditional holding, and being, not doing. It’s use - like massage - for both therapy and stress reduction makes Watsu the world’s first form of Aquatic Bodywork.
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.
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
