AquaVie Training
Aquamassage
Carole Dion is the creator of this approach and it is the fruit of 50 years of her experience working in the water.
There is no professional pre-requisite to take this training, as it's designed to be easy for anyone to learn and has a comprehensive mentorship to correct and guide you during the training. It is different to Watsu, Janzu, Aquahara or Aquatic Osteopathy so it is a great complement to other aquatic bodywork approaches in water.
Aquamouvance
Designed to develop body awareness, mobility, flexibility and draw inspiration from the fluidity of water. In this course you learn wave patterns in your own body and subdance sequences.
AquaVie 1
The basics of aqua- massage where the focus is not only to release muscle tension, but to propagate wave patterns throughout the skeletal structure with precise and rhythmic techniques.
AquaVie 2
This second course adds many precise techniques along the spine, limbs and head. You learn a full body series to open the body to receive the spiralling forces to work through us.
AquaVie 3
This course is done underwater with the client using a mask or noseplugs. These advanced techniques require breath control and deep states of relaxation are jewels of this work.
These courses can be completed over a period of several years and not necessarily in order depending on your schedule if you are intending to do the full training. If you are new to this approach and would like to do just one course first to see how you enjoy this work, you may do so, although AquaVie 3 requires at least the Aquamouvance course or equilivant upon review of your background.
Other steps outside the class hours are:
Practice Hours
There are 10 hours of practice sessions per level required before booking a mentorship appointment with a teacher to check on your work.
Mentorship
Group review sessions are organized to guide you through the techniques and at the end of your training there is a 1:1 session required with a teacher.
First Aid
Aquatic First Aid Certification is suggested by the time you finish the program and re-certification is generally once every 2 years.
Each course entitles you a certificate of hours, but to receive a full AquaVie diploma, these steps are the essentials to the entire training.
