As a CMT and Certified Watsu (Water Shiatsu) Practitioner, I offer aquatic bodywork sessions, as well as table massage sessions integrating various modalities and reflecting my 14 years of experience. I explore with first-time clients whether a table or aquatic session would serve them best. All of my sessions are given in a beautiful, enclosed dome. Watsu? is a unique and profound bodywork experience in 97degree water, deeply nurturing on many levels. It combines Shiatsu, massage, gentle movement and stretching, along with the practitioner's continuous physical support and attunement to your breath. First-time clients often comment that this is the most relaxed they have ever been, or they may simply express something like "wow." One client expressed her Watsu experience in this way - *"Steve's integrity, sensitivity and skill allow him to work with those with severe and restrictive physical limitations as well as those seeking to optimize their mind-body-spirit integration. With Steve's very intuitive assistance, the body is allowed to release deeply held tension and patterns and be restored to its more resilient, fluid form. I felt joy and gracefulness, ease and fluidity in movement." - Janice Jacobson, Physical Therapist* It is truly a joy for me to do both the table and aquatic work, and to share in my clients' experience of attaining a new freedom in their bodies, minds and hearts.
