AVAILABLE FOR: Watsu and Aqua Therapy sessions
Charges: Rs 3,000 per session
CONTACT: @poojawatsu; Instagram

Watsu or water shiatsu is a form of water therapy used for deep relaxation and passive therapy involving immersing a person in water before inducing relaxation techniques. Pooja Gautam started giving these sessions seven years ago, and describes it as "a unique feeling that changed her relationship with water completely". Interestingly, she used to be hydrophobic. "It is an hour of complete integration with water that relaxes your body, mind and soul," she says. Gautam went on to undertake a three-year course, with over 500 hours of training, and today conducts watsu sessions seven days a week at the Aquamax watsu centre in Kandivali and Recure Physiotherapy in Charni Road.

RECOMMENDED BY: Madhuri Dandamundi, 35, "God sent a living painkiller and I call her Pooja. Last year, I was prescribed bedrest and had to undergo a surgery. I was limping despite several forms of therapy. At the end of the first one-hour session with Pooja, I climbed out of the pool completely upright and walked away without a limp."
