Watsu · A treatment in warm water

Watsu —
a full hour to simply be.

The body floats, supported, moving softly. Breath deepens. Thoughts settle. Sometimes that's all that's needed.

Watsu: shiatsu in warm water.

Watsu was born from the meeting of shiatsu — the Japanese pressure-point practice — and warm water. The body floats, supported, moving softly. Breath deepens. Thoughts settle.

Sometimes that's all that's needed: a full hour to simply be. Without doing, without struggling against the body, just letting the water, the gentle movement, and skilled holding do their work.

We came out with a sense of calm and quiet we hadn't felt in a long time. An unforgettable experience. — Maya & Tomer, a couple

Many who love water, calm, and gentle movement.

Before a first session there's a short fit conversation, especially in pregnancy, in medical conditions, water sensitivity, pain, or limited mobility.

Water lovers

People drawn to water who want to discover what happens when the body is allowed to flow.

Couples

A soft, connecting experience. An unforgettable gift — for an occasion, a birthday, or simply because.

Pregnancy

The water eases the weight of carrying. The session is carefully fitted to your needs and to the pregnancy.

Anyone who needs to breathe

After a stressful stretch, intense work, or simply when the body asks for a pause.

An important note

Watsu is not a substitute for psychotherapy.

That said, if a Watsu session opens up a wish to talk more deeply, you can continue into psychotherapy — a separate path, with the same Avigal.

Words spoken after the water.

We were looking for a unique gift for our anniversary and ended up with an unforgettable experience. We came out with a sense of calm and quiet.

— Maya & Tomer, a couple

I got an hour where I didn't have to hold anything. The body relaxed, the breath opened, and I came out with a quiet I hadn't felt in a long time.

— A Watsu participant

Who is it less suited for?

Watsu is less suited for people who don't feel at ease in water, for those who find it hard to be supported in water, or for medical situations that require a prior check. When in doubt — we talk before booking.

A first step

You can write to Avigal about a Watsu session, a personal fit, or a gift voucher.
