Scientific research supports the idea that exposure to “blue spaces”—such as oceans, rivers, or even fountains—can meaningfully reduce stress and enhance mental well-being. Marine biologist Wallace J. Nichols introduced the concept of the Blue Mind, a calm, meditative mental state triggered by proximity to water, which contrasts with the overstimulated “Red Mind” common in modern life.

Studies show that being near water can lower cortisol levels, activate the parasympathetic nervous system, and increase the release of mood-enhancing neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin.

Additionally, water’s rhythmic movement creates a “soft fascination” that gently captures attention and helps the brain recover from mental fatigue. Whether through natural settings like lakes and beaches or simple experiences like watching an aquarium or listening to water sounds, these environments provide accessible and effective ways to promote relaxation, emotional balance, and overall psychological health.

Water has a memory and carries within it our thoughts and prayers. As you yourself are water, no matter where you are, your prayers will be carried to the rest of the world.”

“This is one of the most valuable practices I do for my mental health. I’ve been doing this for years, which started as pain relief, and has seriously evolved”- my client described how she felt about our session today. It really does affect body, mind & spirit.

Reposting from April -
I have had Watsu sessions with Trudy now for a year. I have a history of back and neck trouble and other joint pain, and I have a history of trauma and melancholy. I also have a long history of massage therapy (including Rolfing, Trager, and others), chiropractic treatment, talk-based therapy, hybrid therapy (including Reiki, Hakomi, and Ridwhan), breathwork, and meditation. I belonged to a spiritual school for 3 years. NOTHING I have done from a therapy or personal growth perspective can compare to Watsu. To top that off, Trudy is a master Watsu therapist (she is the 3rd Watsu therapist I have had, and she is now teaching people to become Watsu therapists). She is a gifted therapist and healer. Far beyond the many physical benefits I receive from Watsu sessions with Trudy, I experience seemingly other-worldly serenity and relaxation, with huge release of stress, anxiety, and trauma. The physical, emotional, and spiritual support Trudy provides is healing and transports me into another state of mind. I release deeply held emotions at times, while at other times when Trudy is whirling and twirling me around the pool, I am in LaLa Land, like an astronaut on a space walk. There is no talking during the sessions, so the somatic focus and presence can be profound and all-enveloping. To be so completely immersed in such a safe and sacred experience, while amplified by Trudy's compassionate and masterful support, feels to me like being cradled in pure love in a way that I really cannot describe. It is true that different people respond differently to different therapies and to different therapists, but if you have never tried Watsu, you owe it to yourself to try at least one Watsu session with Trudy.

This is really cool. Since opening my business in 2002, people are starting to realize there is a magical oasis nearby!

Someone asked what I love about my modality and this was my answer…
I flew out to Harbin Hot Springs in 1997 and my whole world changed while I was in class. Being held in warm water conjures a pre-birth memory of safety. Skillfully moved rhythmically with your breath opens up so many pathways for the body to heal and experience deep meditative ways of being (colors inside eyelids, release of trauma through tears or movements, and release of natural pain relievers such as endorphins). Since it is performed in warm water, the work is 3 dimensional and works every layer of the floater; physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and who knows, maybe ancestral. Being made mostly of water which has intelligence and consciousness, our cerebral spinal fluid, blood, lymph etc. are supported for their highest and best performance.
All that, and I have had several special experiences from feeling my energy flow once WATSU cleansed my field. It can be euphoric, spiritual & otherworldly.
