We are Mario and Katya Giovannini, the founders of House of Water on the island of Koh Phangan.
In the heart of Srithanu’s jungle, surrounded by ancient trees and soft earth, we created a space where water speaks. Here, you don’t simply receive a therapy — you meet yourself again. A place where water, sound, and silence come together to help you rewrite your story.

What is
Water Therapy?
It’s a form of aquatic bodywork performed in warm water. Using gentle, flowing movements, stretches, and massage, the therapist helps you release tension, quiet the mind, and enter a state of deep relaxation. It’s like a meditation… in motion… in water!
If you're craving deep relaxation, emotional release, or just a truly unique wellness experience — this is your sign!

How does a Water Therapy Session work

Introductory Talk
We begin with a calming conversation to understand your intentions, answer questions, and prepare you mentally and emotionally.
Floating Support
Floatation cuffs are gently placed on your ankles, allowing your body to rest effortlessly on the water’s surface.
Flowing Movement
The practitioner guides you through smooth, rhythmic stretches, rotations, and rocking motions. You surrender. The water holds you. Your body and mind unwind.
Deep Immersion
With a soft nose clip on, you’ll experience graceful movement above and below the water. Many describe this as feeling like a wave or a sea creature—weightless, free, and fluid.
Sacred Integration
The session closes with Shavasana on water. You float in silent stillness, fully held, as every cell integrates the healing.
And something truly special…
We gently place a singing crystal bowl *into the water*, enveloping you in vibrations that harmonize your body, mind, and energy through resonant sound.

Personal Session
If you're craving deep relaxation, emotional release, or just a truly unique wellness experience — this is your sign! ✨
That’s the magic of Water Therapy — a deeply nurturing form of aquatic bodywork that takes place in warm water. Through gentle movements, breathwork, and supported floating, this practice helps release physical tension, calm the mind, and reconnect you with a state of inner peace.
At "House of Water", each session is guided by Mario, an experienced therapist with over 10 years of dedication to aquatic healing. You’ll immerse yourself in a private heated pool (35–36°C ❤️), nestled within the serene jungle of Koh Phangan — a truly sacred space designed for your transformation.
Water Therapy isn't just relaxation — it's a powerful modality for physical rehabilitation. Here’s how it works:
1. Buoyancy: Unloading Joints & Reducing Pain
The buoyant force of water supports up to 90% of your body weight, significantly reducing gravitational stress on injured joints, compressed spines, and inflamed muscles. This allows for pain-free movement and mobilization that is often impossible on land.
2. Hydrostatic Pressure: Reducing Swelling & Improving Proprioception
The constant, even pressure exerted by water (hydrostatic pressure) acts as a full-body compression sleeve. This helps reduce edema (swelling) and improves lymphatic drainage. It also enhances proprioception—your body's awareness of its position in space—which is crucial for neuromuscular re-education after an injury.
3. Warmth: Increasing Blood Flow & Relaxing Tissue
Our pool is heated to a therapeutic 35-36°C. This warmth causes vasodilation, increasing blood circulation to injured areas. It also softens connective tissues (fascia) and reduces muscle spasm tone, allowing for deeper, gentler stretching and the release of muscular guarding patterns.
4. 3D Resistance: Gentle Strength & Stability Building
Water provides 360 degrees of gentle, viscous resistance. This allows for the safe rebuilding of functional strength and stability around vulnerable joints without the risk of impact or strain from weights.
Ideal for:
▪️ Post-surgical rehabilitation (e.g., joint replacements)
▪️ Chronic pain (e.g., arthritis, fibromyalgia)
▪️ Back pain & sciatica
▪️ Muscle strains & ligament sprains
▪️ Limited range of motion
Let your rehabilitation be as gentle as it is effective.

Testimonials
- Sarah LewinI think if you do something and it turns out pretty good, then you should go do something else wonderful, not dwell on it for too long.
- Samuel WillsonBefore incorporating visual aids into speeches, the speaker should understand that if used incorrectly, the visual will not be an aid, but a distraction.
- Alex LarkinsYou can't connect the dots looking forward, you can only connect them looking backwards.
