HOW DOES WARM WATER HEALING SUPPORT PREGNANCY?

Warm Water Healing 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 Warm Water Healing 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

  • Warm Water Healing 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

  • Warm Water Healing 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 Warm Water Healing session the nervous system relaxes deeply and you experience feeling safe.

The receptivity and openness experienced through Warm Water Healing 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.

FAQ's

An individual session is a relaxing and nurturing experience but multiple sessions are suggested for those who want a deeper experience of the healing and transformative potential of Warm Water Healing. Each session is unique and builds on the one prior. The body progressively softens and opens to receive more. This is especially the case for those exploring trauma or spiritual themes.
Sessions are conducted in a spacious, therapeutic pool heated to 34°C.
Rebecca offers Warm Water Healing sessions in Queensland and Melbourne. Her Queensland sessions are in both Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast.

Yes, it is safe to have a warm water healing session right up to your due date. The nourishing nature of sessions promoted production of oxytocin so can contribute positively towards labour.
It’s suggested that you allow space for reflection and integration after your session. Racing back to work is not such a great plan. Staying relaxed and watery is a much better option.
