Sensory Experiences
Immersive, science-backed experiences that silence the noise, reset the nervous system and return you to yourself. The most deeply restorative treatments available — anywhere.
Step into stillness. Surrender to warm, magnesium-rich water held at 34.5°C — the precise temperature of your own body — and discover what it feels like to be completely, profoundly held. In the float tank, gravity disappears. Sound disappears. The relentless demands of the outside world disappear.
What remains is you — more clearly than you may have encountered yourself in years. Floatation therapy is one of the most scientifically validated wellness modalities in existence, with robust research demonstrating measurable effects on anxiety, chronic pain, blood pressure, sleep quality and cognitive performance.
This is not a spa day. This is genuine therapeutic rest — deep, measurable and lasting.

Hydrotherapy — the therapeutic use of water for healing — is one of humanity’s oldest and most revered wellness traditions. 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.
Unlike floatation therapy, where you rest in stillness alone, aqua hydrotherapy is a hands-on, one-to-one therapeutic session performed within the water — combining the extraordinary medium of the floatation tank with advanced bodywork modalities. Nine specialist treatments. One extraordinary medium.
The Magnesium Dimension
Not all warm water is created equal
Magnesium participates in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the human body — yet the majority of the UK population is chronically deficient. Our floatation tank is enriched with high-grade magnesium salts. Transdermal absorption during your session delivers magnesium directly into the bloodstream — providing effects that oral supplementation simply cannot match.
Nine treatments. One extraordinary medium.
01
Cranial Neck Massage
Releasing the Body’s Most Guarded Tension
In warm water, the neck is fully supported and weightless — allowing a depth of release impossible on a treatment table. Clients describe profound mental clarity, headache resolution and ease they had forgotten was possible.
Particularly beneficial for: Headaches, migraines, jaw pain (TMJ), neck stiffness, cognitive fog, tinnitus
02
Aquatic Reflexology
The Whole Body Through the Feet
In water, reflexology’s power is dramatically magnified. Many clients experience vivid perceptual responses — warmth in specific organs, tingling sensations, emotional releases that arise suddenly and pass like weather.
Particularly beneficial for: Hormonal imbalance, digestive dysfunction, adrenal fatigue, reproductive health, immune support
03
Shiatsu Water Therapy
Ancient Energy Medicine in an Immersive Setting
The buoyancy allows three-dimensional movement impossible on a table — full spinal rotations, hip tractioning, flowing stretches. Many describe this session as profoundly spiritual.
Particularly beneficial for: Low energy, digestive issues, joint stiffness, emotional holding, hormonal imbalance
04
Lymphatic Drainage Therapy
The Ultimate Detox — in Water
Hydrostatic pressure acts as a natural lymphatic pump. Clients emerge feeling as though they have shed not just physical heaviness but an entire season of accumulated burden — lighter, clearer, genuinely renewed.
Particularly beneficial for: Post-operative recovery, oedema, chronic inflammation, immune support, skin health
05
Pregnancy Support Therapy
The Ultimate Gift to the Pregnant Body
Complete gravitational relief for the pregnant body — offering a quality of rest simply unavailable elsewhere. Many mothers describe a deeply moving experience of connection. Designed for second and third trimesters. Consult your midwife or GP before booking.
Particularly beneficial for: Back & pelvic pain, sciatica, oedema, anxiety, disrupted sleep, labour preparation
06

Particularly beneficial for: Natural conception, IVF & ART support, PCOS, endometriosis, hormonal regulation
07
Sports Injury Relief
Performance Recovery in the Most Powerful Therapeutic Medium
Advanced sports massage with three-dimensional mobilisation, traction and stretch sequences within warm magnesium immersion — a quality of rehabilitation simply unavailable on a dry treatment table.
Particularly beneficial for: Muscle strains, joint injuries, post-surgical rehab, chronic sports pain, spinal injuries
08
Somatic Healing Therapy
When the Body Finally Gets to Tell Its Story
In warm water, the body’s deep defensive holding patterns soften extraordinarily. Clients often describe profound releases followed by a lasting sense of ease and aliveness they hadn’t expected.
Particularly beneficial for: Chronic tension, trauma & PTSD, anxiety, grief, burnout, deeper self-connection
09
Vagus Nerve Stimulation Therapy
The Master Reset for Body, Brain and Being
Cranial, cervical and thoracic touch, rhythmic rocking, breath facilitation and gentle immersion to directly restore vagal tone. For those with chronic stress, anxiety or autoimmune conditions, this treatment is medicine.

Your aqua therapy journey
Arrival
Welcome
Warm lighting, gentle acoustics, the faint mineral sweetness of magnesium. Your therapist takes real time to understand you — your body, your history, what you’re here for.
Immersion
Entering the Water
Water at 34.5°C envelops you with startling intimacy — no adjustment period. The water simply receives you. Your body begins to soften before a single touch is applied.
Treatment
The Session
Your session unfolds with an attentiveness that feels like being truly seen. You float, drift and are guided through movements addressing every layer of your being.
Emergence
The Afterglow
Clients describe luminous, expansive peace. The world looks softer. The body moves lighter. This state often persists for several days as the nervous system integrates the experience.
Frequently asked questions
Watsu is traditionally performed in chest-deep warm water pools. Our aqua therapy takes place in a shallow, body-temperature magnesium floatation tank — retaining the core principles of being held in warm water while creating a similarly profound and often more intensely immersive therapeutic experience.
Yes — our pregnancy support aqua therapy is 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. We ask that you consult your midwife or GP before booking as a precaution.
Your therapist will discuss your needs at the start of your session and help identify the most appropriate treatment or combination. A free Discovery Call is also available — just get in touch via the contact page.
Not at all. The floatation tank is shallow, and the high concentration of magnesium salts means you float effortlessly. Your therapist is present throughout the entire aqua therapy session, and you are fully supported at all times.

Sensory Experience 04
Deep heat.
Deep healing.
Far-infrared sauna therapy penetrates 4–5cm beneath the skin’s surface — reaching muscle, connective tissue and cellular level that surface heat cannot access. A profound, full-body therapeutic experience that cleanses, restores and rebuilds from within.

More Sweat vs Traditional
Deep Detoxification
Far-infrared induces sweating at a cellular level — releasing heavy metals, environmental toxins and metabolic waste that conventional saunas simply cannot mobilise.
Muscle & Joint Relief
Penetrating far-infrared heat reaches deep muscle fibres and joint capsules — providing sustained pain relief for arthritis, fibromyalgia, chronic back pain and sports injuries.
Cardiovascular & Immune
Regular infrared sauna use produces a cardiovascular response comparable to moderate exercise, plus elevates core temperature to stimulate immune response — endorsed by peer-reviewed cardiac studies.
30 min
Express Session
A focused infrared session — ideal as an add-on to massage or as a quick standalone cleanse and reset.
From £35 per session
45 min
Full Sauna Session
The optimal duration for full therapeutic benefit — sufficient time for deep sweating, cellular detoxification and the full cardiovascular response to engage.
From £50 per session
60 min
Deep Detox Session
Extended session with two rounds of heat separated by a cooling period — maximising detoxification, circulation benefit and meditative depth.
From £65 per session
Enhance your session: Infrared sauna pairs exceptionally well with floatation therapy or any massage treatment. Heat before bodywork loosens tissue and deepens therapeutic effect. Sauna after massage extends relaxation and accelerates lactic acid clearance. Ask about combination packages when you book.
