HEALING WATER

NAQUASTE
IN GRATITUDE FOR HEALING WATER.

What is the mission of Naquaste Water Wellness?

To provide aquatic healing techniques that are restorative, renewing and relaxing for ALL people.

These healing techniques are provided one-to-one in a private setting, group aquafit classes or through our Naquaste Water Wellness Retreats.

Co-Owners: Marisa and Nicole are both dual-certified Recreational and Aquatic Therapists, and they also hold certifications in various restorative specialty aquatic modalities and techniques.

Our Healing Experiences

AQUATIC THERAPY

This therapy targets individuals with diverse conditions, assessing their needs to promote safety and activity in water. It enhances overall performance through therapeutic exercises that improve mobility, reduce tension, and boost everyday function using the natural support of water.

AQUATIC BODYWORK

Passive aquatic bodywork promotes deep relaxation, enhances range of motion, and alleviates chronic pain. In one-on-one sessions, a therapist gently cradles, moves, stretches, and massages clients in warm, chest-deep water, often yielding results within 15 minutes.

WELLNESS RETREATS

Our signature retreats provide a restorative, water-centered experience, focusing on healing through aquatic bodywork, mindful movement, and education from restorative and certified practitioners.

About Us

The Heart Behind Naquaste Water Wellness

Welcome in. We are Nicole and Marisa. Our joint mission is to share the healing power of the water with the world by guiding men, women and children into deep rest, gentle release, and the kind of inner strength that only water can awaken.

For years, we’ve each been drawn to the healing intelligence of the body when it is nurtured and rested with the healing properties of the water. Our paths—rooted in aquatic therapy, mindful movement, wellness, and compassionate care—naturally woven together to create Naquaste: a sanctuary where people can soften, breathe, and reconnect with themselves through water.

TESTIMONIALS

Nicole released the left side of my neck from an old auto injury, allowing me to rotate left for the first time in over thirty years!

-Rita D, Music Therapist & Caregiver

I experienced a profound transformation in the water while Marisa was working on my back. I felt a surprising release of discomfort as I surrendered to the process. Thirty years ago, my great dane, on a lead, chased a rabbit, which caused my back to tweak. I’ve tried every exercise imaginable to fix it, including core workouts, but nothing else seemed to help.
