TRAININGS — WATERNESS JOURNEY™

Transmission at the heart: learning to accompany another in water.

The path

INTRO (8 h) — the first contact: learning to practice with a partner or a loved one, in a pool or the sea, with the right support and a correct structural posture. Playful and powerfully connecting elements.

WATERNESS — level 1 (50 h) — the structural foundation and the flowering of the technique. We begin to correlate bodily sensations, ground work and underwater work: correspondences between movement and sensation, massage, movement synchronization, and the study of the main positions — lateral, supine and prone.

NEXUS — advanced (50 h) — deepening the technique, where somatic and psycho-corporal work becomes fundamental. Enriched by group reflection, with daily practice and exchange at the heart of the program, it opens to interactivity and to creative professional sessions.

TAdE (16 h) — Aquatic Therapy adapted for pregnant women, and more broadly for those whose physical condition is more delicate. Flotation tools ensure continuous comfort and support; the work takes place entirely at the surface, without immersion — a gentle, deeply relaxing approach.

The full path leads to a professional title that I deliver myself (see “The title I deliver” below).

STEM & BLOOM — online course (coming soon)

An online program for aquatic practitioners who have mastered the gesture but want to deepen presence, listening and relational accompaniment — for those moments when the nature of the session shifts toward therapy, and words become necessary to the accompaniment. Technique is the stem; it is the quality of presence that allows the flower to bloom. 4 modules of 90 min · live & replay · open to all aquatic modalities. → Join the waiting list

My pedagogy

I have been teaching Waterness Journey™ since 2013. My pedagogy draws on several paths of learning — knowledge and reflection, play, movement and times of integration — so that understanding passes as much through the mind as through the body. More than describing a gesture, I transmit the principles that underlie movement in water, to be adapted to each morphology and psycho-corporal availability. The psychosomatic approach draws on case studies and on the work of Jung, Reich and Rogers.

Beyond technique, my trainings transmit the art of accompanying: before, during and after the session, structurally and emotionally.

One-on-One Mentorship

A tailored accompaniment, where I share 100% of my experience, over a duration we define together. Open to anyone motivated, whatever their level.

Tailor-made trainings

Adapted trainings, possible for one or two participants.

The title I deliver

A certification given directly by Sophie Costes — creator of the Waterness Journey™ method, with over twenty years of practice and teaching across Europe and Asia.
