This aquatic bodywork is a unique form of massage based on the undulations of a wave done in body-temperature water. The receiver relaxes on the surface of the water, supported by soft inflatables placed at the head and the feet. The practitioner imprints the movements of waves, stretches and rocking to the receiver’s body, promoting a deep relaxation and sense of internal peace. The grace and flow of the combination improves mobility, flexibility and general well-being. This massage is sublime for all recipients and especially appealing for pregnant women and those with limited mobility. This massage is often compared to Watsu (water shiatsu).
