a hidden sanctuary where warm water and conscious touch invite you to slow down.
ABOUT
Aguaterra was born from a simple intuition: water, touch and nature belong together.
On a regenerative agroforestry farm in the Algarve, a handcrafted warm salt-water pool became the place where they meet.
Water softens.
Touch reconnects.
Nature grounds.
Together, they create space to slow down, breathe, and simply be.
"May the softness of water and the grounding of earth stay with you long after you leave."
EXPERIENCES
No two experiences are ever the same.
Water meets each body differently.
RECEIVE
A deeply relaxing journey in warm water.
A one-to-one immersive journey in 34–36°C warm salt water. Through gentle floating, fluid movement, and supportive stretching, you are invited into deep relaxation. Held entirely by the water, the nervous system softens, allowing you to completely surrender and let go.
INTEGRATE
Begin in water. Return through earth.
Our signature experience begins with Aquatic Bodywork in warm salt water and continues on land with a deeply restorative oil massage. From weightlessness to grounding, this journey invites the body to soften, integrate, and come home to itself.
SHARE
A shared journey in warm water.
Held by two therapists, each person begins with an individual aquatic session before the journeys gently meet through shared floating, movement, and the soft embrace of the rebozo. An experience of connection, playfulness, and deep relaxation for couples, friends, or family.

AUDE
Since 2011, I have dedicated myself to the study of massage and holistic bodywork. I remain an endless student, fascinated by the many ways touch can support the body and nervous system. Each training has deepened my understanding, but none has defined my work. What matters most is presence.
Discovering Aquatic Bodywork felt like coming home. It brought together everything I had been searching for. Held by warm water, the body softens, the senses awaken, and letting go comes more naturally.
Aguaterra was born from this meeting of water and earth—a gentle space to slow down, reconnect, and simply be.
OUR TEAM
With over a decade of exploring holistic bodywork, I’ve learned that true support comes from deep listening and presence rather than technique.
Aquatic bodywork brought all my explorations together—water became a way to listen, and Aguaterra is the space I created to share this profound way of softening and reconnecting.
Water has always felt like home to me, and sharing its healing potential is one of the things I love most. Through aquatic bodywork, I invite people into a space of deep trust, presence, and surrender — an experience that often goes far beyond relaxation and is difficult to describe until you've felt it yourself.
I've been working with holistic bodywork since 2016 and have trained in Aguahara, Ayurvedic massage, Kahuna Bodywork, Thai Massage, Chi Nei Tsang, as well as yoga, energy work, and sound therapy. Rather than following one specific modality, I let intuition, presence, and the body's own wisdom guide each session.
Whether in warm water or on the massage table, my intention is to create a space where people feel deeply supported and held, where they can reconnect with themselves, and leave feeling more at ease, more present, and more alive.
Growing up by the ocean, water has always been where I return to myself.
When my children were young, I wanted to learn simple ways to care for them. That curiosity led me into bodywork and shaped the way I still work today: with attentive hands, respect for each person’s rhythm, and the belief that care begins with listening.
For more than a decade, I’ve accompanied families as a doula while water naturally found its way into my practice.
Today, I simply meet each person where they are, offering a calm presence, gentle support, and the space to simply be—held by water and grounded by earth.
