Prenatal Watsu, Aquatic Therapy
Watsu is a series of gentle movements and stretching in warm water which relieves the physical and emotional tensions of pregnancy. During your Watsu session, aquatic bodywork therapist Robin Bodhi cradles you while you float weightless and completely relaxed. Her private salt water pool is heated to near body temperature, simulating the womb.
Watsu helps alleviate:
- Physical and emotional prenatal stress and anxiety
- Pregnancy back pain and ligament strain
- Insomnia and restless leg syndrome
- Prenatal and postpartum depression
- High blood pressure
Midwives, yoga teachers and child birth instructors recommend Robin’s Watsu therapy as a great way to connect with your unborn baby and to prepare for birth. During Watsu, you have a “direct and personal connection to the inner life and actual world of the baby in utero,” says expecting mother, Sharon Wesolowski, M. Div.
Watsu creates a memory of surrender and comfort you will recall during birth, adds childbirth instructor Tina Lilly. Watsu therapy is also ideal for people with chronic pain. Learn more about Watsu for Chronic Pain.
