In May 2024, I received my first water therapy session in the deep blue waters of the Red Sea off the coast of Egypt. This came three days after I had decided to take a one-year sabbatical after falling out of love with the IT world following a rather stressful period in my career. 

At the moment of surrender to the water and to the hands of my therapist, questions filled my mind. Had I done the right thing? I felt rather lost and without purpose; who am I without the work titles of the last decade? Did I have enough savings? What if I don’t ever find another job? My brain was going a thousand miles an hour and I hoped this retreat would provide me the clarity I needed.

Unbeknownst to me, I didn’t need to get on long flights to strange lands to find my answers. Water held them all.  Within a couple of minutes, I felt a deep relaxation sweep over my entire body, I felt safe, held, and supported as I was swang and floated around. In 10 minutes, I knew that I had found my new passion. I wanted to hold space for anyone, just like me, who needed not only an escape from daily life, but a tool whose effects were so immediate and profound, that they made said daily life more blissful. 

AquaSonus, meaning water and sound in Latin, was born.  After a few months of intense training in India, I’m delighted to be bringing this home to Nairobi hoping that, together, we can create a space to be human, to be vulnerable, to be held, to be reminded that you are never alone. 

See you soon ❤️
