ViWa (Vibration Watsu) is a unique, signature method that blends the healing power of sound therapy with the deeply nurturing qualities of water. This innovative experience is designed to help you enter a profound state of relaxation, inner balance, and energetic renewal while being gently supported by the ocean.
Taking place in the tranquil waters of Holbox Island, ViWa sessions invite you to float effortlessly while therapeutic sound vibrations and flowing water movements guide your body and mind into a deeply restorative state.
During a ViWa session, your body is supported by the warm, calm ocean. The water allows your muscles and joints to release tension naturally, while the therapist gently moves and guides your body through slow, flowing motions inspired by aquatic bodywork traditions.
At the same time, carefully selected sound instruments create a rich vibrational field around you. These may include:
Tibetan singing bowls, known for their deep harmonic tones
Hang drum (handpan), producing soft, meditative melodies
Binaural sound rhythms, which encourage the brain to enter calm, meditative states
These sounds blend seamlessly with the natural music of the sea—the rhythm of the waves, the whisper of the wind, and the open sky above. The result is a multi-sensory healing environment where water and sound work together to bring the body into harmony.
In water, gravity softens its hold. As your body floats, muscles release their habitual tension and the nervous system begins to slow down. The gentle rocking of the water combined with vibrational sound frequencies can lead to a deep meditative state where many people feel:
Weightless and deeply supported
Emotionally open and peaceful
More connected to their breath and body
Spacious and mentally clear
For many participants, ViWa becomes not only a relaxation session but a profound inner journey of renewal and self-discovery.
This unique combination of water therapy and sound healing offers benefits on physical, emotional, and energetic levels.
Deep Nervous System Relaxation
The rhythmic movement of water and calming sound frequencies help shift the body from stress mode into the parasympathetic “rest and restore” state.
Stress and Anxiety Reduction
Floating in warm water while immersed in soothing sound waves naturally reduces mental tension and emotional overload.
Muscle and Joint Release
Water supports the body and reduces pressure on joints, allowing muscles to relax more deeply than during land-based massage.
Improved Circulation
Gentle water movement and relaxation encourage healthy blood flow and oxygen delivery throughout the body.
Better Sleep Quality
Many clients report improved sleep after sessions as the body resets its natural relaxation response.
Emotional Release and Balance
Sound vibrations can help release stored emotions and create space for inner calm and clarity.
Enhanced Body Awareness
Floating in water heightens sensory awareness, helping you reconnect with your breath, movement, and physical presence.
Energetic Alignment
The harmonic frequencies of singing bowls and handpan instruments are believed to help rebalance the body’s natural energetic rhythms.
Meditative and Mindfulness State
Binaural rhythms and continuous sound patterns can guide the brain toward slower brainwave states associated with meditation and deep relaxation.
Feeling of Renewal and Rebirth
Many people describe the experience of floating in water while surrounded by sound as deeply symbolic—like returning to a primordial, safe space where transformation becomes possible.
ViWa is more than a therapy session—it is a guided inner journey. Supported by water and surrounded by healing sound, you are invited to let go of everyday tension and reconnect with a deeper sense of presence and harmony.
Every session is unique, flowing with the rhythm of the ocean and the needs of your body in that moment. The experience may feel like a gentle meditation, a floating dream, or a deeply restorative reset for your entire system.
I will be honored to accompany you on this sacred experience—holding a safe and nurturing space where water and sound awaken the body’s natural ability to heal, restore, and transform.
ViWa sessions typically last 60–90 minutes and take place in the calm, shallow waters of Holbox Island or in the pool.
Each session includes:
A short introduction and intention setting
Gentle entry into the water
Guided floating and aquatic bodywork
Immersion in therapeutic sound vibrations
Quiet integration time at the end of the experience

"Alex was a true teacher.
He took me on an incredible journey of sound healing in the sea.
Anyone visiting the island should experience it — it’s truly unforgettable.
I also had a deep cupping massage with him, which has significantly helped with an old neck pain.
Alex is a true professional, and without a doubt, I’ll be looking for him again on my next visit.
Thank you, my friend." Zamuelo

Watsu (Water Shiatsu) is a deeply relaxing form of aquatic bodywork performed in warm water, where gentle movements, stretching, and supportive holds allow the body to release tension naturally. In the peaceful waters surrounding Holbox Island, this practice becomes even more powerful, as the natural environment enhances the sense of calm, safety, and surrender.
In my sessions, you will experience a non-classical, deeply personalized form of Watsu—a practice that goes beyond traditional techniques. Over time, I have carefully curated and integrated elements from different therapeutic approaches, shaping them into a unique and intuitive method. This author’s interpretation blends aquatic bodywork, mindful movement, breath awareness, and energetic sensitivity to create a fluid, organic experience designed specifically for you.
Floating in warm water has a profound effect on the human body. As gravity softens its hold, muscles relax, joints decompress, and the nervous system begins to slow down. Supported gently in the arms of the practitioner, your body is guided through smooth, wave-like movements that mirror the rhythm of the ocean.
Many people describe the experience as returning to the very beginning of life—a symbolic journey back to the first home we ever knew: the womb. In water, the body remembers how to soften, trust, and simply be.
The sensation of being safely held while floating creates a unique state where:
The mind gradually releases control
The breath becomes deeper and slower
The body moves effortlessly with the water
A feeling of profound inner stillness emerges
For many participants, Watsu becomes more than a massage—it transforms into a meditative experience and emotional reset.
The calm and shallow waters of Holbox Island provide the perfect natural setting for aquatic bodywork. With gentle waves, warm temperatures, and open horizons, the environment itself becomes part of the therapy.
The sound of the sea, the warmth of the water, and the slow rhythm of movement create a deeply immersive sensory experience that helps the body feel safe enough to fully relax.
Unlike traditional massage performed on a table, Watsu in the ocean allows your body to move in three dimensions, opening space for deeper stretching, fluid motion, and a greater sense of freedom.
Watsu supports the body and mind on physical, emotional, and energetic levels, offering a wide range of benefits.
Deep Muscular Relaxation
Water reduces the weight of the body, allowing muscles to release tension more easily than on land.
Joint Decompression and Mobility
Gentle stretching and movement in water help improve flexibility and reduce stiffness in joints.
Stress and Anxiety Reduction
The soothing rhythm of aquatic movement calms the nervous system and encourages deep relaxation.
Nervous System Regulation
Slow, repetitive motion in water activates the parasympathetic nervous system, helping the body move out of chronic stress.
Improved Breathing and Circulation
Relaxation and gentle movement promote better oxygen flow and healthy circulation.
Emotional Release
Many people experience a gentle release of stored emotions during Watsu sessions as the body lets go of held tension.
Better Sleep
After a session, clients often report deeper and more restorative sleep.
Heightened Mind-Body Awareness
Floating and movement in water help reconnect you with subtle sensations and the natural rhythm of your breath.
Sense of Safety and Support
Being held in warm water can evoke feelings of comfort, trust, and emotional grounding.
Feeling of Renewal and Rebirth

For many, Watsu becomes a deeply personal and transformative experience. The combination of warm water, gentle movement, and attentive presence creates a safe space where the body can release what it has been holding—physically and emotionally.
Clients often describe the session as a homecoming—a moment where the body remembers how to rest, the mind becomes quiet, and the heart opens to a sense of peace that has always existed within.
Here, in the calm waters of Holbox Island, you are invited to surrender to the natural flow of water and rediscover the deep stillness that lives inside you.
Watsu sessions typically last 60–90 minutes and take place in the calm, shallow ocean waters of Holbox Island.
Each session includes:
A short conversation to understand your needs and intentions

"Estoy completamente satisfecho con el masaje en el agua (Watsu) que recibí por parte de Aleks. Superó por mucho mis expectativas y quedé impresionado con el buen servicio y profesionalismo. También asistí a una de sus ceremonias de sanación con rapeh, y al igual que el masaje, fue una experiencia increíble que no solo recomiendo sino que me encantaría repetir en mi próxima visita a Holbox. Muchas gracias por elevar mi energía y ayudarme en mi proceso de sanación." M Gee Buay
