WATSU is for you if you enjoy being held in warm water and to experience bodywork beyond gravity. 

Why are you so curious about the role of receiving

Over many years in practice, this has become the center of the bodywork equation for me. How can I support you in receiving the work? How can I support your bodymind in settling in and down? How can I support your "whole-ing" ?

I am curious to discuss this in person! 

 

How do I know if I deserve bodywork?

This is a sneaky question that many of us wonder at some level. The simple answer is we were born deserving touch. We are wired for touch and connection and it is one of life's greatest pleasures. It is healing and returns us to our selves. The practice of receiving touch is too precious and powerful to pass up.
