Welcome my fellow Aquaphiles!

I have always loved the somatic healing of water. I wanted to share with you one of my paintings I realised while I was suffering years ago with chronic illness that made me turn to painting to visualize my healing in absence of being able to get into the pool on a regular basis.

I am an Artist-Engineer, with a hunger for continuous self improvement and study. I just cannot help myself. I’m never bored or lazy, I’m literally always working on something or some project. I know that you are here because you relate to some part of me that lights your fire and inspires you to keep going.

I want to help you feel the way I feel about living. Our bodies are incredible, what they can do, and at the same time, so fleeting, we are charged to look after ourselves and it’s not an easy task in the face of modern living.

Water and somatic sensations are a way out. And even if you don’t have access to a pool, I hope you can at least feel inspired to love life a little more and find ways to stimulate your ASMR.

Autonomic Sensory Meridian Response - is the warm fuzzy pleasant feeling that tingles up your spine. Some people get it with the whispers that remind the autonomic system of motherly love and stimulate the hormones of bonding, love and healing. For us aquaphiles, it’s the foetal and most primitive mammalian response from the memories of the womb. And our inner fish ancestry left over genes that brought us out of the ocean.

Our autonomic response is so strong that we are drawn to shiny objects and glitter - because those were the indicators of how we are to find water, when nomadic. And sound, sound is important in my videos, the sound of water lapping and splishing is somehow a warm trigger for relaxation. Or peeing, unfortunately as is the case with me.

Every time I turn the shower on. I need to pee. If I hear water I need to pee. The back yard sprinkler, makes me wanna pee. It’s all good, I just wonder why my nervous system is so mixed up and crosswired. But it’s a small sacrifice for loving the water like an otter.

I hope my videos bring you peace tranquility and wonder. I never wanted to be performing or doing this for adoration, I just wanted to find ways of expressing my love for life itself. My continual enamor with the gift of learning and trying new things. I never stop trying, even when I know I can’t do things, I just keep trying anyway, the joy is in the journey and the failures. I love laughing at myself.

The truth is, I never grew up. When my childhood was stolen from me, the only love I ever knew was back in the comfort of the womb. And so, my inner child decided to come out and play and make up for it every day as an adult.

Thank you for joining me here. I really hope it brings you something new.
