✨ Remember your fluid story… ✨

We were all formed in water.

In its embrace, we remember how to meet ourselves—and others—with presence, grace, and ease.

Held safely and attentively, your nervous system feels seen. You come home to yourself. 🌊

🧑‍🎓 This training deepens how you work with bodies—not only in water, but on land; not only at work, but in life.

💧 Enter the water. Breathe. Flow. Remember.

Clips from our 1st WATSU® training for 2026.

We had a great time learning so much more than floating another safely and comfortably in the water.

During a WATSU® session and during our WATSU® training we assist clients and students bodies and bervous systems to regulate naturally.

Once people have experienced this regulated state, start educating them on how to reconnect and re-establish this natural state of being.

New Research: HeartMath's Approach to Healing Stress & Trauma
From Dysregulation to Coherence: Exploring the HeartMath® Approach to Emotional and Physiological Regulation
Jorina Elbers, MD, MS1,2and Rollin McCraty, PhD1
Chronic stress doesn't just affect your mind—it dysregulates your entire nervous system, contributing to anxiety, depression, chronic pain, and disease. A new 2025 study in Global Advances in Integrative Medicine and Health shows how HeartMath's HRV coherence biofeedback helps reset your body's stress response.
Unlike wearables that just track your heart rate variability, HeartMath teaches you to actively shift into "coherence"—a measurable state where your heart rhythm becomes smooth and organized, calming your nervous system in real time.
Just 5 minutes daily for 4-6 weeks produced:
✅ Reduced stress, anxiety & depression
✅ Better sleep & less pain
✅ Improved focus & emotional regulation
✅ Increased brain volume in memory centers
The science is clear: you can train your body out of dysregulation and into resilience.

We have completed our first WATSU® training for 2026 successfully.

A huge thank you to the organizers and the great facility at Perla Epstein & Sasha Hunt Hydrotherapy .

We had a fantastic time introducing 2 new students to a whole new world of bodywork.

Floating another in the water invites and allows the whole body (including the mental and emotional) to soften, expand and to find ease within the system.

Thank you to our students who were so open to learning and exploring how their own bodies move, flow and support themselves and another in the water.

We can't wait to see how you grow and refine your techniques during the following courses.
