What is Watsu?

WATSU is an aquatic bodywork that Harold Dull developed in 1980, inspired by the theories and the practice of Zen Shiatsu. WATSU facilitates “freeing your body in the water” and helps you release tensions and improve overall conditions of your body and mind. Now Watsu is practiced in more than 40 countries and considered “the most advanced aquatic therapy in our time.”
In addition to the physical benefits derived from the movements and stretches warm water facilitates, Watsu’s power to reduce stress underlies both its effectiveness with those conditions in which stress is implicated and its growing popularity among the general public.
Many come out of a Watsu saying they were more relaxed than they have ever been. Some say it was one of the most powerful experiences in their life. More and more are choosing Watsu at spas
In 1995, Watsu was awarded for “The Spa Treatment Of The Year” in Baccarat Asia Spa Award.

Watsu promotes a deep state of relaxation with dramatic changes in the autonomic nervous system. Through quieting the sympathetic and enhancing the parasympathetic nervous systems, Watsu has profound effects on the neuromuscular system

  • In Watsu sessions, you’ll be floating in the water. The therapist will be fully present to support your experience. You’ll have your eyes closed and ears in the water, free of gravity in a warm ocean water. Therapist moves and stretches with you through the water and we’ll make sure your nose will not be wet and you’re completely safe so you just need to let go of all your holdings and be completely with your non-doing self,. It is like meditation in the water.
  • You are free to use ear-plugs if you are sensitive with sounds.
  • All of our therapists speak English. Please let us know anything you want us to know about your body and mind, such as any pain, recent surgery and any medical conditions if any.
