Finally, Let Go.
A private, guided aquatic experience designed to help you slow down, soften and reconnect—in the warm mineral waters of Ouray and Orvis Hot Springs.
Private guided sessions • No prior Watsu experience required
You Don’t Have to Know How to Let Go.
The water supports you. Vanessa guides you. Your only job is to arrive and allow the experience to unfold at a pace that feels comfortable.
What Does Watsu Feel Like?
Watsu is gentle aquatic bodywork performed in warm water. Vanessa supports your body while guiding you through slow floating movements, comfortable stretches and quiet moments of stillness.
As the water carries your weight, movement can feel easier and the outside world begins to fade. Every session is personal, unhurried and guided with close attention to your comfort.
You don’t need to know what to do. You’ll be supported throughout the experience.

Ask VanessaHow It Feels, in Their Words
"I'd lived with fibromyalgia pain for 8 years. When my Watsu guide slowly submerged my ears in the warm mineral waters of Ouray, the silence was overwhelming. For the first time in my life, I felt truly weightless. I cried—not from pain, but from relief. My nervous system finally let go."
"After months of corporate burnout, I was desperate. The unconditional holding during my Watsu immersion at Orvis Hot Springs broke through layers of armor I didn't know I had. The rhythmic rocking in the warm water completely reset my nervous system. I slept for 10 hours that night."
"I came for physical rehabilitation after an injury, but the Watsu therapy gave me so much more. Being gently stretched and mobilized in the sulfur-free thermal waters allowed my spine to decompress in a way that is impossible on land. It was a deeply sacred, physical and emotional release."
