Clients' & Students' Testimonials

I feel that I found Pamela at exactly the right moment in my life. I had tried WATSU®️ at a local resort before the pandemic began, and everything shut down for what felt like an eternity. I had been struggling with chronic back pain for 5+ years following a major abdominal trauma surgery as a result of a post c-section complication. My recovery had been a roller coaster of progress, quickly followed by setbacks as a result of parenting my very active – and big - twin boys. The emotional aspects of the surgery itself, and not feeling physically able to keep up the demands of parenting certainly contributed to my pain and movement limitations. Pamela, and WATSU®️, helped show me how to really let go of tension internally, in a way I was unable to conceptualize prior to my first treatment. In addition to the – nothing short of miraculous – improvement in my range of motion at every joint in my body, WATSU®️ had such a profound impact on my ability to regulate my nervous system. My ability to breathe and sleep well were also significantly improved. The experience itself is magical, and the impact on my life has truly been a miracle. I honestly feel like a completely different person - physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I cannot recommend Pamela and WATSU®️ enough. It is a completely transformative experience.
