“Steve Karle’s tailor-made hydro-therapy allows for an amazing sense of weightlessness of both mind and body. A must-book treatment.”

“Steve ‘engages the body in conversation’ acting as a facilitator for the body’s natural desire to move. The series of fluid movements is healing and restorative. I emerge renewed.”

“Aquatic body-worker Steve Karle takes you as his floating dance partner, weaving you in and out of the water to stretch and de-stress. It’s like falling through space.”

“Karle ‘talks’ to my body, tunes into it and instinctively knows how it wants to move and then supports and guides me into certain positions. The sequence is never choreographed. Instead, the aim is for the body to experience ‘new’ movement.”

“...at times it feels like the slowest of spin cycles, at others like you might be bringing up the geriatric rear in a dolphin pod. It’s weird, it’s great.”

“My shoulders and spine decompress, my chest opens, and I feel stress leave my body. The body moves differently in water, and traumas that have been held deep within can be released.”

“Steve will observe the natural movement of your body in water, massaging and stretching it as required, and leading it through a dance-like journey. You emerge rejuvenated and calm.”

“After the session, I sit calmly in the water for about half an hour as my mind and body slowly reconnect. I’ve not been so still and settled for years.”

“By allowing the body to naturally unwind in the freedom of water, the pent-up energy of trauma can find its way out through expression and integration.”

“Steve will bring you into an unparalleled sense of calm that is seemingly unlikely in one of the world’s busiest cities.”

“Prepare to feel satisfyingly wiped out afterwards, like you’ve had a session with your osteopath - miraculously without the discomfort.”

“I will follow your body’s natural choreography, Steve Karle says, and does exactly that. It’s extraordinary and not for the self-conscious.”

“I’m floating on my back, the lights are dimmed, and a strange man is holding onto my head. I find myself whooshing about, my body undulating like an eel’s. It’s hard to describe how this can go on for 45 minutes (or longer), but it does, and there is seemingly no repetition.”

“Steve gently guides you through a series of movements, stretching and star-fishing you around the pool. It lengthens the spine, reprograms muscle memory and calms the mind. A total tonic for helping with insomnia.”

“Rather than a bed, Steve Karle’s treatment takes place in a pool where he uses the water’s buoyancy to manipulate muscles, slowly eeking out knots. The litheness you’ll feel afterwards is unparalleled.”

“... A treatment devised by a genius called Steve Karle, which has been known to make grown men weep like babies, though it had rather a cheering effect on me.”

“As you float in a pool directly under the hordes of Piccadilly Circus, Karle will gently manoeuvre your limbs into different positions, leaving you utterly, sublimely relaxed.”

“You feel the same force of nature as you get at the exact moment you catch the wave out surfing, the exhilarating feeling that you are actually being propelled by the entire universe.”

“Karle will hold your head and gently swirl you through the water to restore its natural fluidity. This is topped off with ancient Tibetan singing bowls to create a musical massage that vibrates all around your body. It’s seriously relaxing.”

“Amanzoe’s Spa speciality is a gentle, water-based body therapy. All therapists are taught by aquatic bodywork specialist Steve Karle.”

“It was the most extraordinary hour of my life: never have I felt so calm.”

“Steve Karle is sort of extraordinary and whose new retreat for couples includes a beginner’s masterclass involving you and your other half connecting with each other through touch…”

“Having had Watsu treatments in the past I sort of knew what to expect, however, a session in the pool with Steve Karle is a very different experience...”

“Last time you found yourself in a heated pool at night with a man you had just met, it ended with a pounding headache and a guilty feeling that was hard to shake. This time will be different…”

“Sessions are not exactly about relaxing the body, says Steve Karle, they’re more about allowing the body to express itself, to tell its story.”

“Karle’s approach is intended to reset the muscle memory and so smooth out impediments to movement, such as holding patterns, emotional issues and trauma stored in the body.”

“The treatment with Steve was blissful - afterwards I felt lengthened, a pesky pain in my lower back had disappeared, and I felt energised like I’d had ten hours sleep.”

“Steve’s Aquatic Therapy sounds odd but is as close to a spiritual experience as I’ve ever had. It’s a profound experience and definitely one to pop at the top of your London wellness to-do list.”

“Karle is a beautiful, brown-eyed, less beefy version of Tarzan, and being an ‘aquatic bodyworker’ means he likes doing it in the water...”

“What Steve offers is a total immersion of both body and mind in such an intense manifestation that it far surpasses even the deepest of massages, or the most delicate of facials.”
