"I’m so grateful to have found Amanda and through her, the practice of Watsu. As a bodyworker with almost 20 years of experience in many bodywork modalities, I can say with certainty that Watsu connects me with a part of myself I’ve been unable to find anywhere else. Amanda’s sense of safety, support and ease means that I’ve been instantly able to go deeply and unreservedly into my own experience. This practice and her offering of it is something I have been searching for my entire life. It’s one of those moments when you ask yourself why didn’t I find this sooner?

I’m so grateful for Amanda’s help not only for myself, but also for my entire family, including my two young autistic children who found a safety and comfort in the water with Amanda they haven’t found anywhere else.

Amanda is a great asset to the community. I’m glad to have her as a colleague and as my Watsu practitioner!" -  Kevin McCarthy, SEP, CAR, RMP, BCSI 

"Due to a disc issue in my back, I have not been able to receive bodywork where I need to lay flat for over 8 years. I was feeling brave enough to try massage again and tonight I received a Deep Tissue Massage from Amanda Koethe and she's FANTASTIC!!! As a 34-year veteran bodyworker myself, I'm really picky about who I'll see for care, and I would recommend Amanda without a single reservation. Great technique, very intuitive about her level of touch and you can tell she's "listening" with her hands and not just going through the motions. I'm beyond grateful to be able to receive without my back reacting and overjoyed to have Amanda just a few blocks away!! I'll be scheduling regularly from here on out!!" - Angel Phillips, CST, Blessing Way Bodywork

"Amanda provided an incredible holistic massage! The environment she set was calming, she checked in re: my comfort level throughout, and the massage was fantastic!  The convenience of having her travel to my home made the evening stress free and even more relaxing!  I will continue to get massages from her after this wonderful experience and STRONGLY recommend her to anyone!" -Becky A.

" I recently had a watsu session with Amanda and found it healing both spiritually and physically. I was unfamiliar with watsu before this experience, and Amanda immediately made me feel at ease with her welcoming and warm energy. The entire session felt both relaxing and energizing. Afterwards, there was a new level of awareness in my body that resonated long afterward."  Ben R

" I had a massage and watsu session with Amanda while pregnant and can't say enough good things! She was knowledgeable in what to avoid for pregnancy. She was always asking about what I wanted/ if the pressure was enough, etc. watsu was relaxing and an amazing experience. I would definitely recommend Amanda for anyone!" - Tori J.

"Amanda does AMAZING work! Her extensive knowledge working with the body clearly comes through in her message techniques. Highly recommend! " - Elizabeth S. 

"I HIGHLY recommend Amanda! She is beyond qualified with her background in occupational therapy. Amanda knows just how to approach the muscles and tailors her massage to the client's needs." - Krista Weiland, OTD, OTR/L.  

"Amanda is amazing at massage! My neck and shoulders felt great after my session with her. She is a natural." -Jenny D. 

"I had my very first Watsu session today and Amanda put me at ease immediately. Any tension instantly melted away and the next 60 minutes was a dream like state of passive stretching and movement that I didn't know my body was craving. Such an amazing experience. ***** 5 Stars" -Jackie Briggs, CMT
