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.”

Rebecca is a powerful healer. She has a deep connection with the water and its healing abilities. She has a deep and wide knowledge of what brings humans back to their vitality and peace. Ive been living with chronic pain, PTSD and some intense nervous system collapses. The sessions I've done with Rebecca have been instrumental in making me feel more at ease in my body and in the world. If you're not sure what Water Wisdom is, you don't need to because your body will. Get out of your noggin and book in with Rebecca.

I found Rebecca to be very accommodating and She made me feel relaxed right from the start. I felt like I was in the water for about 10mins, due to the calming and relaxing nature of the therapy. If you have mobility problems or are pregnant, you should definitely check Rebecca out. As for people like me, I just enjoyed the feeling of letting go and relaxing, listening to the sounds of the water and the gentle movement through the water.

Rebecca's calming presence and professional rapport allows you to feel completely comfortable in her hands and surrender to the Watsu experience, along with giving you the confidence to open up and share about yourself. Immediately afterward the session I felt thoroughly relaxed and aware that something special had taken place. That evening I slept deeply through out the night without interruption and woke to a profound sense of peace that could have only been due to my Watsu session. Thank you Rebecca.

I have had two warm water sessions with Rebecca - about 3 months apart. I find it deeply restorative and nurturing. Each session has been unique, some parts dynamic & open & others nourishing and gentle. I would highly recommend Rebecca.

Rebecca is ace and the Watsu therapy is quite amazing. She listens well and comunicates with great understanding and insight. At the end of the session I felt absolutely fantasic (and didn't feel like irt wasn't long enough)! I recommend her work highly (and I have had many different heath care sessions). It was fabulous!

Rebecca was a calming influence on the day taking time to get to know me, my story and explaining the water healing experience. The experience was surreal, keeping my face above water while using her hands to move my body around in the water. It tapped into that primal phase of the preverbal period where healing was needed.

Rebecca is a gifted therapist providing safety and stability at her core. The session was a real treat, being cradled and massaged by the water in Rebecca’s strong arms. I can really see the therapeutic benefit of this work. As a psychologist I would recommend this work to clients interested in somatic ways of regulating their nervous system and healing.
The water is love.
