Are you looking to relieve stress, reduce pain, or reconnect with your inner peace? Watsu & Aquatic Healingwork offers a transformative, water-based therapy that promotes deep relaxation, emotional release, and physical healing. In a world where stress is responsible for up to 95% of illnesses, according to Harvard Medical School and other research, it’s essential to find a pathway to true relaxation.
Watsu & Aquatic Healingwork are specialized transformative therapies performed in warm, body-temperature water. During a one-on-one session, you are supported through gentle, rhythmic movements that stretch, cradle, and massage your body. This process combines elements of Shiatsu, massage, yoga, and dance, creating an immersive and nurturing healing experience.
Water creates an ideal environment for healing. Floating in body-temperature water mirrors the safety and tranquility of being in the womb—a state of oneness and complete surrender. In this serene setting, your body’s defenses naturally soften, allowing you to release tensions, stress, and trauma. The buoyancy of the water gently supports every movement, making it easier to let go of physical restrictions and emotional blockages.
Watsu & Aquatic Healingwork not only provide physical relief but also reset your body’s natural relaxation response. The warm water, combined with the fluid movements, helps to calm the nervous system, encouraging healing on every level: physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual. This therapy is designed to leave you feeling rejuvenated, balanced, and whole.
Watsu & Aquatic Healingwork offer a unique opportunity to reconnect with the deepest layers of your being. Whether you’re seeking pain relief, stress management, or a powerful emotional healing experience, Watsu invites you to relax, heal, and leave feeling completely renewed.
Watsu & Aquatic Healingwork are designed to help you tap into the profound healing properties of water, offering relief from stress, pain, and emotional trauma. Whether you’re exploring Watsu for personal growth, trauma recovery, or pain relief, you’ll find it to be a highly effective tool for resetting your body’s natural healing processes.

We're located in Hollywood FL, only 30 minutes north of Miami, and 15 minutes from Fort Lauderdale, in a very quiet neighborhood, where you'll only hear the sound of birds and wind gently passing through the palm trees, Ideal for your R&R quiet retreat.
We're very health conscious and proud of offering a state of the art filtration & sanitation system for the water in our pool. You won't be smelling any chlorine during your session.
Our secluded, outdoor, in-ground salt warm water pool has pristine body-temperature water at around 95°F and our water sanitation system consists mainly of Ozone (O3) and UV light with a small amount of residual chlorine generated by our salt system. Body temperature water is perfect for regenerative water therapy.
Our salt level is similar to that of an intravenous saline solution, which is less than 10 times the amount of salt in ocean waters, so it's very mild.
All of our healing and bodywork sessions include the use of our facility including hot shower, bathrobe and fresh towels.
