The Dr. Mara Show

WATSU may be one of the most profound yet underutilized therapies for relieving pain, anxiety, insomnia, stress, and chronic tension, while offering supportive benefits for those navigating trauma and PTSD.

Combining the ancient principles of Shiatsu with the therapeutic properties of warm water, WATSU is a deeply restorative, one-on-one experience. A trained practitioner gently cradles, stretches, massages, and moves your body through warm water, allowing muscles to soften, the nervous system to settle, and the mind to quiet.

In a world where we're constantly doing, achieving, and overstimulating our nervous systems, WATSU offers something extraordinary: the opportunity to completely surrender, reconnect with yourself, and experience a profound, healing exhale.
