Where Touch Becomes Transformation
Step into stillness. Surrender to warm, magnesium-rich water held at the perfect 34.5°C — the temperature of your own body — and discover what it feels like to be completely, profoundly held.
This is not a spa day. This is hydrotherapy reimagined: a full-body sensory journey that dissolves tension, resets your nervous system, and returns you to yourself.
Hydrotherapy — the therapeutic use of water for healing — is one of humanity's oldest and most revered wellness traditions, practised across ancient Roman bathhouses, Japanese onsens and Ayurvedic water rituals. At Create Your Wellness, we bring this ancient wisdom into a breathtakingly modern context.
Our exclusive aqua therapy sessions take place in a purpose-designed, magnesium-rich floatation tank, heated to 34.5°C — the precise temperature at which your body stops distinguishing where it ends and the water begins. In this extraordinary state of weightlessness and warmth, every therapeutic touch is amplified a thousandfold.
The buoyancy of warm salt water removes approximately 80% of the body's gravitational load, allowing muscles to soften to a depth that is simply impossible on a massage table. At 34.5°C, blood vessels dilate, circulation surges, and the nervous system slips from its habitual state of vigilance into one of profound, restorative rest.
Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the human body and participates in over 300 enzymatic reactions — yet research consistently shows that the majority of the UK population is deficient. Our floatation tank is enriched with high-grade magnesium salts, elevating every treatment to an entirely new therapeutic level.
Transdermal magnesium absorption — uptake directly through the skin during immersion — bypasses the digestive system entirely. During a single aqua therapy session, measurable increases in cellular magnesium levels have been observed.
Every session at Create Your Wellness is a bespoke, one-to-one experience. Your therapist works intuitively with your body, drawing on a repertoire of advanced therapeutic modalities — all performed within the embrace of your warm, magnesium-rich floatation tank.
The skull, neck and cranial fascia hold an extraordinary amount of chronic tension — often the silent origin of headaches, jaw pain, sleep disruption and cognitive fog. In warm water, the neck is fully supported and weightless, allowing your therapist to access the delicate cranial structures with a depth and precision that transforms this technique entirely.
Clients frequently describe a profound sense of mental clarity following this treatment — as though the literal weight of their thoughts has been lifted. Many report dramatic resolution of chronic headaches, visual clearing and a quality of ease in the jaw and face they had forgotten was possible.
Reflexology maps the entire body onto the feet — and in water, its power is magnified dramatically. The warmth softens the foot tissues, enhancing sensitivity and allowing refined pressure work across every reflex zone. The supportive buoyancy removes all tension from the ankles, calves and lower limbs, and the whole-body relaxation amplifies the nervous system's response to reflexive stimulation.
Many clients experience vivid perceptual responses during aquatic reflexology — warmth in specific organs, tingling sensations in reflex-connected areas, emotional releases. These are signs of the treatment's profound systemic reach.
Rooted in Traditional Japanese Medicine, Shiatsu applies precise pressure along the body's meridian channels to restore the flow of Qi. In water, the client can be gently moved, rotated and stretched in ways impossible on a table — allowing full-body meridian sequences to be performed with a grace and fluidity that borders on the transcendent.
The buoyancy allows your therapist to move your body through three-dimensional space: full spinal rotations, deep hip tractioning, gentle inversions, flowing stretches that take the joints through their entire range of movement without a single gram of effort from you. Many clients describe an aquatic Shiatsu session as a profoundly spiritual experience.
The lymphatic system — your body's primary waste-clearance and immune-surveillance network — responds exquisitely to warm, immersive aquatic treatment. Hydrostatic pressure from the water acts as a natural lymphatic pump, while your therapist's skilled hands guide lymphatic flow with the feather-light precision of manual lymphatic drainage technique.
Clients emerge feeling as though they have shed not just physical heaviness but an entire season of accumulated burden — a treatment of extraordinary physical and energetic lightness.
In our warm, magnesium-rich floatation environment, the pregnant body experiences complete gravitational relief — perhaps for the only time in the entire pregnancy. The weight of the growing uterus is lifted; the spine can decompress fully; the hips, pelvis and sacrum can be accessed from angles impossible in any other therapeutic context.
Many clients describe a deeply moving experience of connection — with their own body, with the life they are carrying, with a sense of being completely held and supported in one of life's most transformative passages.
Note: Designed for the second and third trimesters. Please consult your midwife or GP before booking.
Our aquatic infertility therapy is a compassionate, evidence-informed holistic approach to supporting reproductive health and wellbeing. Drawing on specialised abdominal, sacral and pelvic techniques — combined with reflexology and somatic release — this treatment works to optimise circulation to the reproductive organs and reduce the physiological effects of chronic stress.
The warm magnesium environment adds its own powerful dimension: transdermal magnesium reduces cortisol directly, supports progesterone production, and provides the nervous system with the deep sense of safety that the reproductive system most needs to thrive. We hold this treatment — and everyone who receives it — with the utmost care and compassion.
Our aquatic sports therapy combines the principles of advanced sports massage — deep tissue work, trigger point release, myofascial techniques — with the unique opportunities offered by the aquatic environment: three-dimensional mobilisation, traction, stretch sequences with full joint decompression, and the anti-inflammatory effects of warm magnesium immersion.
The buoyancy of the water allows full movement assessment and treatment of areas — the spine, sacroiliac joint, hip complex — that are extremely challenging to access effectively on a treatment table. Your therapist can apply traction to compressed structures and facilitate fascial release across the full kinetic chain in ways genuinely unique to the aquatic medium.
Somatic healing recognises that the body is not merely a vessel for the mind — it is itself a repository of memory, emotion and experience. In warm water, the body's somatic intelligence opens with extraordinary willingness. The water provides a physical experience of support so complete — so unconditional — that the body's deep defensive holding patterns can soften in ways difficult to achieve in any other context.
Clients who receive somatic aqua therapy often describe profound releases — spontaneous tears, deep sighing, trembling, laughter, vivid sensations of warmth or expansion — followed by a quality of ease, openness and aliveness that can feel entirely transformative.
The vagus nerve — the body's primary 'rest and repair' highway — governs heart rate, digestion, immune function, emotional regulation and your capacity for connection and safety. Our aquatic vagus nerve stimulation therapy uses cranial, cervical and thoracic touch, rhythmic rocking sequences, breath facilitation and gentle immersion techniques to directly stimulate vagal pathways.
Clients describe a sensation of the nervous system physically unwinding — of years of held vigilance releasing in waves of warmth and ease. Heart rate slows, breathing deepens, the jaw softens, the belly opens, the eyes grow gentle. The body remembers what safety feels like. For those living with chronic stress, anxiety, trauma or autoimmune conditions, this treatment is not a luxury. It is medicine.
From the moment you cross the threshold, the world outside begins to recede. There is no rush here. There is only presence.
Warm lighting, gentle acoustics, the faint mineral sweetness of magnesium in the air. Your therapist takes real time to understand your body, your history and your intentions for the session. This is not a form to fill in. It is the beginning of a therapeutic relationship.
As you step into the floatation tank, the water — heated to your precise body temperature of 34.5°C — envelops you with an immediacy that is startling in its intimacy. There is no adjustment period. The water simply receives you, as if it has been waiting.
Your session unfolds with an attentiveness that feels like being truly seen. Your therapist reads your body's responses with every touch, adapting in real time. You will float, drift and be guided through therapeutic movements and touch that address every layer of your being — physical, energetic, emotional, neurological.
Following your treatment, you rest in our dedicated relaxation space — warm, quiet, unhurried. Herbal tea, softly warmed towels, complete privacy. This integration period is not optional: it is therapeutically essential. Most clients describe a state of luminous peace that remains with them for days.
Hydrotherapy is the therapeutic use of water — including temperature, buoyancy and movement — to promote healing, relieve pain and restore physical and emotional wellbeing. At Create Your Wellness, our hydrotherapy is performed in a magnesium-rich floatation tank at 34.5°C — the temperature of the human body — for the most immersive and effective treatment available.
Watsu (Water Shiatsu) is traditionally performed in chest-deep warm water. Our aqua therapy is performed in a shallow, body-temperature magnesium floatation tank — yet retains the core principles of being held, moved and supported in warm water. Our approach is inspired by and aligned with the Watsu tradition, creating a similarly profound — and in many ways even more intensely — therapeutic and sensory experience.
Yes — our pregnancy support aqua therapy has been designed specifically for the prenatal body and is one of the safest, most beneficial treatments available during pregnancy, particularly in the second and third trimesters. All sessions are conducted with specialist prenatal training and full safety protocols. We always recommend consulting your midwife or GP before booking.
A floatation tank massage is a deeply immersive therapeutic treatment performed while you float in a warm, mineral-rich water environment, allowing unprecedented depth of muscle release and relaxation. The buoyancy removes gravitational load, the warmth dilates blood vessels and softens tissues, and the magnesium is absorbed through the skin — creating a uniquely powerful therapeutic medium for every modality.
Your therapist will discuss your needs, history and intentions at the start of your session and help you identify the most appropriate treatment — or combination of treatments. Many clients benefit from a bespoke multi-modality journey that draws on several of our treatment approaches within a single session. A free Discovery Call is available if you'd like guidance before booking.
