Testimonials • What people are saying about aquatic bodywork...

"Watsu with Davida is like entering another realm. It’s an experience that takes one beyond massage. Cradling me in warm water she rocked and stretched with graceful, flowing movements until the tension in body and mind literally melted away and I found myself still in a deep state of relaxation. The weightlessness of the water….the playfulness of the movement….the silence and Davida’s skillful, receptive and intuitive touch combine and encourage a deep rest that is the foundation of all healing."

Whatever state I arrive in, high or low stress, I know I will be 'met'... met and guided to a state of deep letting go.
