Dani’s tranquility, alongside her gentle yet impressive physical strength, set the tone for the best therapy I’ve ever had. I found the weightlessness, combined with the complete safety of being supported by the water, freeing in a way that allowed me to immerse completely into the experience. Without earplugs, I felt at one with the water and enveloped by its soothing, swashing sound. Just writing about that evokes a longing to be back in the warm space of that water. After only three sessions so far, these are benefits I’ve experienced: • Having had decades of broken and minimal sleep, I slept nine hours the night after the first session and have had much improved nights since. • After the second session, I recognised a deep calmness had shifted a difficult daily situation to enable me to approach it as a gentle, enjoyable meditation. • Without a word from me, Dani intuitively sensed where I had pain in my body. She focused on my lower back with a range of gentle movements, and later that day I realised it had not troubled me at all. Amazing. For those 45 minutes of bliss, Watsu allowed me to keep the noise at bay, to completely quieten the mind . . . total relaxation and freedom. Dani describes the experience as ‘delicious’, which is so perfect, except I would add ‘absolutely delicious’. Robbie, Cape Town
