"Douglas Bedgood and his colleagues, Alexander and Barbara, have given us a volume of aquatic messages to treasure. I, being a Watsu® and Jahara practitioner, am particularly taken with those sections. The understanding of human beings which Barbara brings to a
holistic therapy is captivating. Douglas’s years of study and work with the body and with water shows us the finer points of why we do what we do. This is a cross between a beautiful coffee table book and a “set of worldbooks” on the subject. All of us who work in the water and love the water should own a copy. Thank you Douglas.
