Experience deep relaxation, connection and healing in comforting warm water. Watsu (Water-shiatsu) is a very special experience. It’s a unique form of therapy that affects emotional, physical, and mental levels. During the treatment you will be supported by me and the warm water. Your three-dimensional weightlessness allows you to move more easily and freely. Your body can release built-up tension. Energy blockages in your meridians are lifted, your muscles relax and space is created for bones and joints. A deep sense of relaxation, connection and healing arises.

Watsu Therapy – A Journey Back to Yourself

Imagine floating effortlessly in warm water, feeling weightless, safe, and deeply supported. In my Watsu sessions, thoughts quiet, tension melts, and a sense of inner peace takes over. For a moment, there’s nothing to do—just be. Many people describe it as a profound return to themselves, where stress and fear dissolve, and emotions flow freely.

Would you like to experience this for yourself? Whether you need time to reconnect with your body and emotions, want to clear your mind, or simply long for a moment of deep relaxation, Watsu offers a space to let go and reset.

The Physical Benefits of Watsu Therapy

Watsu isn’t just relaxing—it has a profound physiological impact. As your body surrenders to the warm water, you may notice your heart rate slows down, your breathing deepens, and your blood pressure balances and endorphins are released, boosting your immune system and enhancing well-being.

These effects extend far beyond the session itself—you may notice better sleep, improved digestion, and an overall sense of balance in the following days. While a single session can bring noticeable relief, a series of treatments is recommended for deeper healing.

What to Expect in a Watsu Session

A Watsu session takes place in a warm pool (around 35°C), a temperature that allows you to completely relax without feeling cold. If the session is held at Akasha Spa in the Conservatorium Hotel, you and I will have the pool to ourselves—giving you the privacy and peace to fully surrender to the experience.

You don’t need to know how to swim to enjoy Watsu—I will support you the entire time, guiding your body through gentle movements and stretches that promote energy flow and deep relaxation.

The name Watsu comes from a combination of “Water” and “Shiatsu”—a traditional Japanese healing practice that works with energy meridians to restore balance in the body. Watsu blends the best of both worlds: the healing power of touch and the effortless relaxation of warm water.

Watsu Therapy During Pregnancy – A Moment for You & Your Baby

During pregnancy, your body constantly adapts, and relaxation is one of the most valuable gifts you can give yourself and your baby. Watsu helps relieve muscle and joint tension, ease back pain, and promote overall lightness and ease. Floating in warm water creates space in the body, allowing you to stretch, move, and fully relax in a way that’s difficult to achieve on land. Beyond the physical benefits, Watsu is a deeply bonding experience between you and your baby. As you let go and surrender to the water, you may feel even more connected to the life growing inside you.

Watsu for Babies in Breech Position

Many babies in a breech position turn naturally during a Watsu session. Between 32 and 38 weeks, you can try Watsu as a gentle, non-invasive way to create space in your body and encourage your baby to move. And even if your baby doesn’t turn, you’ll have experienced a beautiful, deeply relaxing moment together.
