Aquatic Therapy
COUPLES
A somatic practice that couples explore together. Holding one another in the water, couples rest in presence together, breathing in unity, and practicing holding space for each other. Couples Sessions are very bonding, heart opening and healing for both the giver and receiver. Couples connect deeply, without story, words or sexual intimacy. Couples Sessions add an experiential dimension to couples therapy. A way to embody together what's known and understood cognitively. To hold another body this way we attune to it. We sense its breathing and deep rhythms. There is unconditional love.
Couples Sessions start with a movement meditation in the water. This brings everyone to a state of presence, softness and attunement. Couples are then guided in how to hold one another. This may include some basic Aquatic Therapy movements. Rebecca is there supporting you throughout the process. There is space and time for sharing at the beginning and end of the session.
Prior to participating in a Couples Session, each individual has an individual session with Rebecca. These are scheduled for different days and times so that each partner can know the experience of having someone completely present and attentive to their responses. It's essential to have a felt sense of this before holding space for your partner.
“The water's gifts are profound, offering learning and healing around trust, surrender, softening, fear, intimacy, creative flow, birth, death, our interconnectedness and receiving greater love. As a guide, I hold a space of compassion and emergence inviting you to connect deeply with your felt experience in this moment. From that place so much is revealed.”

“What a blessing that my yoga teacher introduced me to Rebecca. My mother almost cancelled her overseas visit to Melbourne due to the intense pain in her lower back and legs. As an active 82 year old who regularly swam and played tennis, the pain had been debilitating. Just one session with Rebecca and she truly experienced calm and learnt how to breathe deeply. For the next few days, there was only a hint of pain remaining. She was standing up straighter and felt freedom when walking.”

“The session allowed me, in a safe and supported way, to face many of my core fears in life. I went beyond my lack of trust and need for control. It facilitated an experience in which I softened and completely let go.”

“A number of serious shoulder injuries over the last ten years have resulted in a shoulder so damaged and affected by arthritis I now require a shoulder replacement. The almost ‘other worldly’ experience of an aquatic therapy session has enabled me to move my shoulder and reduce my pain levels. In addition, I have found the other therapies I have been using to become more effective and results more profound.”

“Initially I was nervous at the prospect of floating for so long in a pool. My anxiety just fell away as Rebecca gently and lovingly supported me through the whole process, and I gradually lost my awareness of time and space and experienced a deep meditative state.”

“My first aquatic therapy session with Rebecca was the most relaxed and calm that I have ever found myself. From the very start I could feel my breathing slowing, each breath becoming deeper and smoother. Feeling so relaxed and comfortable in the warm water made me concentrate on nothing but breathing. The result was a total state of bliss.”
