"I did not know that WatsuŽ with Adriano would change my mind about bodywork and its effects and benefits. Although I am also a worker of the health field, Adriano was capable of presenting a new experience on healing with a new profound meaning. Adriano was knowledgeable about techniques and procedures and sensitive to my safety and rhythm. His classmates also rated him highly."

Claudia Cioni, LPC, Salt Lake City, Utah

"At the end when you placed your hands on my third eye and my heart and I felt like I was 10 feet tall and being initiated into a state of balance and personal power. I was not afraid to be me. I felt like I WAS the Native American totem pole. Like each Chakra was a different awareness all unto itself and yet they all work together harmoniously and simultaneously. I felt whole and conscious. I felt my own inner power as a divine being of God's creation for the first time ever. WOW, what a gift. Thank you for being there to create such a perfectly balanced space. If I could share your ability with the world, I would."

Taitha, GV

"I have had several WatsuŽ sessions in the past, in crowded public pools at Harbin Hot Springs. They were good and very enjoyable, but the private, deluxe, custom pool and WatsuŽ room built by Adriano lends an ambience and sense of peaceful bliss that I never experienced before.

During the treatment I could feel age-old injuries in my back and neck releasing in ways that chiropractic, acupuncture, or even Rolfing couldn't accomplish. My body seemed to relax and naturally readjust to its younger healthy alignment as Adriano guided my body to realign, balance, and begin deep lasting healing. Japanese inspired showers and screens are next to the pool. The environment is quiet, beautiful, and conducive to deep healing. Adriano knows his art and craft well, and I felt I was in the hands of a true master, present in every moment and movement.

I will be back for more, as my body loves it, and highly recommend his WatsuŽ treatments to anyone who is challenged with physical pain, or simply wants to spend over an hour in bliss."

Douglas Turner

"During the WatsuŽ session, I was able to experience, connect with, and release a deep pattern of fear being held in my spine. As a result, I feel greater flexibility and flow in both body and mind. Adriano's supportive and professional approach to giving WatsuŽ allowed me to safely relax into the experience of being held by love. I highly recommend his work to anyone wishing to feel more freedom, more energy, and more joy in their lives."

Matt Fluty, Aikido Instructor

"I came to my WatsuŽ sessions with the intention to relax, surrender and allow my body this experience with as little mental interference as possible. That is a spiritual practice! The deep peace of these sessions was matched by the profound awareness that arose naturally: 'My soul is here for its own joy and my body, as the container of this soul, matters...can I expand my capacity to fully inhabit, with acceptance and pleasure, this human body?' Under the grace and strength of Adriano's care, my heart answered 'Yes!' What still exists out of the water is a deepened intimacy with my whole self, and thus, an increased capacity for intimacy with others."

Sheila James, Family Mediator, California

"Adriano, you have masterly demonstrated WatsuŽ 2! Your knowledge and skill of the movements create such space, freedom and opening in a spiritually mindful body. Your presence is deeply respectful and supportive. This is the invitation for WatsuŽing Welcome to the Water Family."

Kat Stenvers, WatsuŽ Instructor

"Adriano has a sensitive and supporting touch. He cradles you gently in his arms and draws you through the warm water It is a beautiful, nurturing and deeply relaxing experience. The combination of water, movement and touch turn me mush."

Kristine Hernandez, Yoga Teacher

"The WatsuŽ with Adriano illuminated a number of places where I have staunchly refused to let people in, a number of places where I have been blocking the receiving of love. Adriano's work combines great attention to detail, selfless service, and his love made manifest through a nurturing container of WatsuŽ massage."

Charles Cresson Wood, Pathwork Helper

"As a Therapist and Metaphysical teacher, I have long been searching for a magic vehicle that could allow for a person (me) to be present in the essence of who he is. My WatsuŽ sessions with Adriano provided that alchemy. Time, space, and the mind disappeared, and all there was was love."

B.G. Cohen

The Sacred Flame

I tend the sacred flame
Keeping a watchful eye on its wavering form
Stoking with the oil of passion
Whispering hot-breathed prayers
Paying attention to what is needed.
Too many times I have been neglectful and suffered
the dank cold of extinguished embers
unresponsive to my most fervent coaxing.
I am too old now for such heedlessness
And too aware of my heart's desire.
Longing to be carried away by union's bliss
I faithfully build the fire and remove
what barriers could impede its expansion:
The cold waters of pride or the contraction of
fear that would suck the very air needed.
I pray to surrender to this call to Love
To have the trust to keep saying Yes
and the stamina to continue
Tending Love's sacred flame
with the devotion of
a servant in the temple of a holy One.
