SURF AND TURF

Here are a couple of recent e-mails I've received from clients regarding my water massage and land massage. I am filled with gratitude when I receive messages like these:

Thanks, Lizy. The shoulder is much better. The pool massage is the
only thing that has worked, so far, for the pain and the loss of range
of motion. I can see why you like the WATSU,so much.

I'll let you know how the shoulder is doing at the end of a week or so.

I did enjoy floating in the water very much! The salinity of the
water helps for that. The WATSU is well conceived and should achieve
popularity. Its nice to know someone on the cutting edge of physical
therapy.

Dear Lizabeth,

I had a wonderful “vision quest” yesterday, very full of good feelings and appreciations, during which I spent some time thinking of you. I want you to know that I think you are an extraordinary masseuse, and that I appreciate immensely the perspective and spirit with which you approach your work. I love the way you engage with my body and energy, how no session is the same as any other, and how I too have learned to let go and go with your energy. I love the way you talk about your body work, and the way you end each session with a “thank you.” And I appreciate as well your sessions with Marsha when she comes to town, and how you’ve opened her up to the value and pleasure of going deep in body work.

It takes a very special person to do what you do as you do. So this is just to let you know how much I look forward to our sessions, how grateful I am that our paths crossed as they have, and how remarkable I think you are.

WATERDANCE

Waterdance is an aquatic based therapy that was originated in Germany. There are some elements that are reminiscent of Watsu, but the big difference here is that the client is immersed in the water. More to follow... In the meantime...Just think about how it might feel to have a therapist that is so present with your breath and your body. Just think about the possibilities that exist when you feel so attended to. Think how it might feel to experience yourself in warm water while someone is right there to witness and respect all of you. Imagine your muscles and connective tissue melting into the water allowing you complete freedom to be. While you think about that, I'll be thinking what to write in my next post. For now, I can tell you that I am very passionate about this work and I hope that I will be able to find a way to express this so that I can communicate how wonderful and special this work is.
