Many of those who trek to Boracay come home feeling more tired and lethargic due to the island’s signature non-stop partying, not to mention the sunshine-soaked hangovers. However, there another side to the island that offers a haven of comfort and an overwhelming sense of renewal.

Floating devices were wrapped around my joints to help me drift in the water. Afterwards, I was asked to let go of everything– emotional stress, anger, disturbing thoughts, et al. I then surrendered to my therapist’s arms as she cradled me for about an hour in the water making stretching movements, using the water as a life force to heal and relax me.
