HOW DOES WATER THERAPY
SUPPORT PREGNANCY?
Water Wisdom Therapy is particularly beneficial during pregnancy. Mothers are able to relax deeply while experiencing a similar environment to their baby. This opens up another level of communication between mother and child.
There are four profound ways that Water Wisdom Therapy nourishes mothers-to-be.
PREGNANCY SUPPORT
- Being held and moved in warm water offers a profound way to connect with your baby. Cultivate communication during this pre-birth time and track each developmental stage in the womb using movement, intention and visualisation.
- Create buoyancy and ease in your body by reducing the force of gravity and relieving compression on the spine and joints.
- Soften the pelvis and hips and open up the lungs and diaphragm with deep and expanded breath.
PREPARATION FOR LABOUR
- Soften and open your body and connect with natural fluidity and micro movement that allows weighted, suspended sensation through the pelvis and legs in preparation for labour.
- Experience trust and surrender in your body echoing the trust and surrender needed during labour.
- The warm water environment and mother’s fluid movement invite the baby to move freely and find its optimal fetal position.
- Affirm your natural capacity to sink into a relaxed, intuitive, right brain state full of oxytocin.
PREPARATION FOR MOTHERHOOD
- Water Wisdom Therapy offers profound support for the immense rite of passage of becoming a mother.
- As you surrender into being held, and relax into a deep state of presence, unresolved or unconscious material may come to the surface for healing.
- This may include the relationship with your own mother, body memories of your own birth experience or any unresolved attachment patterns.
TRAUMA SUPPORT
- Water Wisdom Therapy offers a gentle environment to explore birth trauma from a previous labour experience, intergenerational trauma and sexual abuse.
- It is now recognised that trauma resides in the body and nervous system, and that somatic healing can repattern the traumatic experience into something more life affirming.
- In a Water Wisdom session the nervous system relaxes deeply and you experience feeling safe.
The receptivity and openness experienced through Water Wisdom Therapy may also enhance the benefits of other healing practices such as yoga, land massage, visualisation, meditation and fetal positioning practices. For full information download the attached PDF.
“The water's gifts are profound. A trusting space for compassion, surrender, emergence and transformation. Connect deeply with your felt experience in this moment. From that place so much is revealed.”

“It was a wonderful and unique experience. Rebecca’s presence was reassuring, giving me a sense of being safe and cared for. I was in a floating world where I no longer knew which way up was, and in this way I felt closer to my baby.”
