NEW Program for 2012
Aqua Prenatal
Audrey Meuse, Watsu, Acutonics & Breath Practitioner
Aqua Prenatal is one of the best forms of exercise during pregnancy, a gentle, safe means of keeping toned and supple without strain, of keeping aches and pains at bay and energy flowing, of relaxing mind and body, and preparing for the physical demands of birth - and motherhood itself. Each birth is unique and at CB Wellness Centre we strive to give special attention to each new mother, whether she is having her first baby or she is a busy mother already. Aqua Prenatal is a blend of body, breath and movement in water to support relaxation, connection and bonding to the fetus on Friday afternoons. Along with fathers involvement of watsuing their pregnant partners in movement meditations encourages to explore the closeness and nurturing with both mother and child.
Gentle postnatal exercises gradually help the new mother to regain physical strength, tone their muscles, enjoy deep relaxation and develop close bonds with their baby.

From the beginning, the journey of our life is filled with mystery. It was once believed that the formative period of our life began at birth and lasted until six years of age. Psychology today has begun to explore the time before our birth, when we were held in utero, and illuminate this prenatal time as a crucial aspect of the emerging human psyche. All of us, for nine months, were marinating in the hopes, dreams and difficulties of our parents.
Supported in the warm water, and with the conscious presence of the practitioner one may explore this formative time of life in a climate of safety and acceptance. The brain structures that let us recall specific events don’t mature until two to three years of age. But our bodies remember in other ways. In the womb-like environment of a warm pool, we can create specific Watsu© movements that help you to journey back and reclaim the self from it’s most direct source, incarnating with all that might have been missing by re-patterning the nervous system.
In this prenatal journey, you will be encouraged to build internal resources that will allow you to re-pattern these formative experiences from a place of grounded potency and strength. In the Amnotics session, one is cradled, moved, and gently rocked in ways that can help to return to a time when the womb was called home.
A series of 5 to 10 sessions is recommended for this prenatal and birth journey. Sessions will be tailored specifically for each client. And, in contrast to other sessions, this work involves a more active participation of the client.
