WATSU® Practitioner & Bodywork Therapist – Kai Vanu Therapy & Wellness Claimed

Watsu Christmas with Dani — Session 23 for Me!! ☺ (Hooray Hooray) It was a stormy weekend. The night before, rain pelted down, but I was aware of a deep feeling of peace, and ready for an early sleep. A happy tingle of anticipation bubbled up in my tum. It reminded me of how I used to feel on Christmas Eve as a child. What will tomorrow’s Watsu bring? Very certain by now it would be good, with fun for everyone! By now I had come to know that my body and emotions could sense what was around the corner. Every Watsu with Dani had by now begun to feel like Christmas, …happy, calm, and exciting ✨🧜✨ The bed felt extra comfy, and I slept well, hardly moving. And, on the day, I had come to learn that Watsu would be full of new surprises — in addition to those it always brought to the party. This time I had ventured out, as a good Viking should, to find ways to integrate and connect the various modalities I had come to enjoy, with Watsu as the centrepiece of my healing. Watsu had been a gentle, but very powerful support to cancer therapy, and had brought my PSA down to an undetectable level. It had turned the Mets in my bones around, onto a stable and healing path. I started with a small Watsu Intentional Prayer, connecting my Inner Child (my Subconscious), with the Watsu I was going to receive. Thanks were extended to the Polynesian practice of Ho’oponopono, the Glorious Ocean, the Great Water Spirit, the Divine Creator and … my Divine Watsu Practitioner, Danielle. 🙏🧜🙏 Dani’s Watsu was consistently at the high professional standard I had come to enjoy. I closed my eyes and lay back in total trust as she caught me … softly, … so gently, … but confidently, … reassuringly. Automatically my body flipped its fight/flight switch to ‘Off,’ allowing my nervous system to slip into a fluid stillness, my parasympathetic tak8ng over, connecting with the reassuring feel of the warm water and loving hands holding me. I felt my mind move to neutral, and a warm feeling, a happy sensation, flow throughout my body. I was home, …safe, …in trusted arms. Now I could heal, release emotions, no matter what came up. Everything was ok. Everything was good. I was held. I felt so at peace, so still, it was not long before I fell into a soft sleep. As I slept, Dani followed the signs my body gave her as to where tension was stored,* what needed movement, where her fine-tuned, gentle fingers were called to effect a gentle Shiatsu release. Having slept through much of the session, (it seemed far too short 😊), I could feel the emotional release had settled my mind into a pure, clean, clear state, …my imagination showed me a memory of an amazing Patagonian waterfall.** Refreshed, … and reassured, …the ✨️magic✨️ had worked. Again. Thoroughly. Lovingly. And the fun was just starting. I felt so happy inside, and the Watsu magic now flowed through, and out of me, to greet others …💫💙🙏💙💫 As I walked to breakfast, people stared, stopped, took pics … commented how clear my energy was, how open, ✨️vibrant✨️ … a young pregnant mum and her husband, whom I knew, came out of their way, asked for a hug and then wanted to know where they might “get some of what I had”…I introduced Dani … 🧜 💙 😊 🙏 This went on all day, unexpected gift, after unexpected kindness, into the evening … and into the next day. It had, indeed, been another fabulous 🎄 🌊 💙 Watsu Christmas 💙 🌊 🎄 Thank you 💙 🧜 Dani 🧜 💙 Thank you 🙏 thank you 🙏 thank you 🙏 😊 And, it happens every fortnight. 😊 For those who don’t know me, I’m 67, … going on 6 — and have just recovered from stage 4 prostate cancer 🙏 🌻 🙏 If you would like to understand how regular Watsu practice clears, heals emotions, prepares a sound state on which to evolve, and gain a deeper appreciation of the practice, keep a look out for my Review: “Honouring Oneself, Resting and Restoring through the Watsu Portal” or Message Dani on +27 72 075 6681. * **

I had a visceral feeling of healing from a cold after leaving the session. You wouldn’t think of it, healing from a head cold whilst immersed in water. I had a flight back to Joburg to catch the same day & after one of the most restorative sessions I’ve experienced, my E, N&T were completely clear throughout the flight. The whole experience was other- worldly in that, the deep embryonic water suspension whilst Dani slowly & gently glides you through the water made it feel as if I were flying. It was yet another ‘below the radar’ healing modality which should be in the full main & Dani should be leading the pack. Thank you, will definitely be back!

I recently had a WASTU treatment with Danielle and it was a truly special experience. From the moment we began, I felt completely at ease — the session was deeply relaxing and left me feeling emotionally restored in a way I hadn’t anticipated. Danielle brings a rare combination of professionalism, warmth, and genuine intuition to her practice. She clearly knows her craft, but it’s her caring presence and sensitivity that make the experience feel so personal and grounding. I would recommend Danielle without hesitation to anyone looking for a treatment that works on multiple levels — body, mind, and energy. I’ll definitely be back.

Dani is not only deeply aligned with her work, but embodies a path of authenticity, alignment and trust in the work she brings to the world. Watsu with Dani has gently moved subconscious states within me to depeen into places within myself that have been empowering and beautiful. Her gentle and soft way brings comfort to any fears, limited beliefs and resistance. Having sessions with her will alter something within you, beyond what you may comprehend. To know, all thats left is to try a session with her. Deep honour for you my Dani.

This morning Danielle treated me to the most remarkable Watsu therapy session I have had to date. I have enjoyed 20 Watsu sessions with Her and every one improves over the last. Beginning with gentle conscious breathing, following with open Gratitude to Danielle & the Magic Water Spirit, the flow of my body intuitively led Her to gently open my spinal column, which, since I had a number of vertebrae radiated, is something I always rejoice. Then with gentle rotating support moving seamlessly between shoulder clavicles, She had my body rocking ‘n rolling with happy enjoyment. The pace slowed as She observed my body releasing tension, and was followed with a few more slower sequences. That’s where my lights went out, in full relaxation and complete trust. 45 minutes later I felt myself surface in the quietest, most gentle way possible. Wow, Perfect! Were the first words in my happily awakening mind. This was all the more notable as it contrasted totally with the alarmed, heart pounding wakening experiences I have had since my recent challenges began. Over a longer period, my accumulated emotions have been steadily reduced with these constant Watsu sessions. I recommend at least 3 sessions to feel the cumulative effect of reducing emotions. Thank you Danielle 🙏

A truly beautiful Watsu experience. I felt transported to another time and space, safely held and completely at ease. Floating in warm water, free from gravity, allowed my body and mind to fully relax as tensions slowly melted away. The practitioner’s skill, sensitivity, and gentle presence made it easy to trust and fully surrender to the experience. A deeply calming and nourishing session that I warmly recommend.

“After my session with Dani, I started regularly feeling like my heart was warm, tingling, opening (a very unique feeling I had never felt before) and some magical unconditional loving experiences subsequently happened in my life such as with my family members where I was able to communicate my Love for them in ways I was never in the past able to. It has brought me closer to the people I love and that to me is priceless. I highly recommend her services.” – Aurore, United Kingdom

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

Dani has a naturally warm and caring presence that makes you feel comfortable right from the start. She carries herself with quiet confidence and a genuine passion for what she does, which sets the tone for the for her highly recommended Watsu sessions. Her steadiness in the water and ability to make you feel completely calm and relaxed, make for a very impactful session. Being able to fully trust Dani as she worked allowed me to enjoy a truly healing and rejuvenating experience. Dani’s genuine and sincere nature, and passion for healing others make her a practitioner I would highly recommend!

I met Dani on a Reiki course. We clicked immediately and when she told me about Watsu I knew I had to try it. I was not sleeping well, had a lot of stress at work and my neck and body was very tight. The Watsu experience was gentle and soothing and a little bit magical. Dani guided my body around the warm soothing water and I immediately relaxed and felt the tension leave my body. Immediate effects after my first session was I could move my neck without feeling pain. I slept soundly that night and my sleep generally improved. I can highly recommend the experience and especially with Dani. She empathetic and caring, but also strong and powerful. She has a gift that she loves sharing. Thank you Dani
