After being involved in Ocean Therapy
(including Aqua Healing Touch – freeing the body in water)

for over seven years I have continued my water therapy training with the wellknownTeachers Xavier Boisson and Gianni de Stefani in Goa/India in 2009 and shall continue with Shantam in 2011 to further explore 'water dance'.

The passion and joy that aquatic bodywork has given me (giving and receiving) propelled me to go on a more indepth water healing journey all the way to India.

I shall blend Watsu and Aqua Wellness in my Aqua Healing Touch program, adapted to your needs and wishes.

Overview of the different modalities

AQUA HEALING TOUCH

Aqua Healing Touch is a gentle and loving method to help all of those who are afraid or feeling uneasy being in water.

Aqua Healing Touch facilitates our awareness of how we relate in an aquatic environment either in ocean waters or a swimming pool.
It's main focus is to build up confidence in water and to bring a sense of freedom into our aquatic experiences.

Aqua Healing Touch helps us to reconnect with water. Read more here.
