HOW CAN WATER THERAPY SUPPORT STRESS, ANXIETY & DEPRESSION?
Water Wisdom Therapy can offer significant relief for stress, anxiety and depression.
Promotes deep relaxation
The warm water and continuous support reduce physical tension. Passive movement calms the nervous system, shifting the body from "fight or flight" (sympathetic) to "rest and digest" (parasympathetic) mode.
Enhances Mind-Body Connection
The fluid, rhythmic movements help people feel safe, grounded, and present. This can counteract the dissociation or detachment common in anxiety or depression.
Reduces Cortisol Levels
Water therapies have been shown to lower cortisol (stress hormone) levels and increase endorphins.
Supportive Environment
Being held and moved in water can evoke feelings of being nurtured, which may be particularly healing for people dealing with emotional trauma or isolation.
Improves Sleep and Mood
The deep relaxation achieved can improve sleep quality, reduce irritability, and boost mood — all important for managing depression and anxiety.
Somatic healing
Trauma is often stored in the body; Water Wisdom Therapy offers a safe space for somatic (body-based) processing without needing verbal communication.
Attachment repair
The nurturing, womb-like experience can be reparative for individuals with attachment trauma.
Emotion regulation
Encourages co-regulation through physical presence and breath synchrony with the therapist.
“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.”

“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.”
