Aqua Body Works gives you an opportunity for a deep meditative state of being.

For some people it can be like dancing, weightless in space,
for others it can be like being back in the womb,
a deep healing experience.

Aqua Body Works releases endorphins and dopamine’s
and also reduces blood pressure, slows heart rate, as well
as improves cellular oxygen metabolism.

Aqua Body Works with its folding-unfolding,
swinging, waving and rotating movements
entices you into a new realm of consciousness.
Movements are experienced by other senses.

When we have unresolved trauma
it impacts on all areas of our lives.
When integrated and delicately understood
our suffering can provide the seed for becoming freer,
more mature human beings.
Then we have the capacity for greater awareness
and can navigate gracefully through our lives.
We can set a course bound for our true purpose.

What’s involved in an Aqua Body Works session…

Unlike Watsu, in Aqua Body Work sessions you are submerged under the water.
This gives you a three dimensional experience that can feel similar to flying.
You are engaged in the magical flow of an under water dance.

There are a number of different elements to your session:

 - You will set an intention.
For example releasing tension in the spine,
it could be something to do with a relationship
or an emotional concern you are dealing with.

-  Using all her different aquatic techniques
Masta also includes Remedial Massage, Cranial Sacral,
Prenatal work, Hypno Therapy, Inner Child
and Transformational therapy.

- If you would like to experience trauma healing, she includes this in your session.

- You are invited to let go of all distractions,
including your thoughts, beliefs and emotions
and to simply be present… in love with what is.

- Cued by the rhythm of your breath
you are taken underwater.
(Your body is naturally prepared for this.
You have an innate diving reflex
that prepares you for being under the surface).
Without effort you stay under water for longer and longer.

-  Your inner silence grows deeper and magical.

-  At the end of your session insights or understanding about your original intention are anchored in the body.

- Your body will feel renewed, rejuvenated and regenerated.
You can connect with this when you go back into your everyday world.

Masta uses Trauma Healing techniques and is training in:

Through a series of techniques that interplay between memories,
body sensations, and dialogue with the therapist,
traumatic events held in the body are discharged,
allowing the body to be regulated and emotional balance to be restored.

AquaBody is a collection of techniques. Warm water supports you while a facilitator moves your body. Folding, unfolding and stretching it.

These movements are designed to bring you into the deepest possible state of relaxation. Their fluidity combines into a meditative dance, subtly inviting you to let go of whatever holding of energy there might be.

 

 

It is totally your call, it is your body setting the pace in the letting go - physically as well as emotionally.

In a Watsu session your face stays above the surface.

 

In AquaBodywork, WaterDance, Healing Dance and Under Water Therapeutics you may be taken under water completely.

A nose clip keeps water from entering your nose, allowing you to fully experience every particular way your body is being moved, stretched and massaged.

The warm water manifold heightens the effect of the stretching, massaging and the working of acupressure points.

Apart from creating various levels of relaxation, when the facilitator 'lets his fingers do the walking', he will be able to identify, loosen and release energy blockages.

Therefore, at the end of a session you may find yourself relaxed, energized, free, fulfilled, and/or balanced. And all you did, was just receiving…
