Violeta Aguiar Lapa

Aquatic Movement – Aquatic Therapy – Dance in water

Violeta is a person with an enormous sensitivity and went through a unique journey in discovering the element of water. Until a few years ago, she was afraid of the sea and big waves, a phobia that limited her and created constraints. She learned to swim and dance underwater. She then devoted himself to this vocation and her journey has been incredible. Founder of Oceans and Flow, she has taken dozens of people around the world on experiences that merge awareness of movement (or lack of) on land and water. Her main influences are Watsu, Flydeeper, Aquatic Doula, Embryology in water, psychological studies, free diving, sound healing with Tibetan bowls in water, meditation, Ai Chi, Yoga and Dragon Dreaming.

She researches the body “through different arts and body techniques, dancing in the water, freediving in apnea and more recently bodysurfing.” It was in the water that she found a purpose and a mission: “to take her message to more people and everything that this precious element allows us, facilitating experiences of self-knowledge and body awareness, through a unique set of experiences of reconnection with the water and with nature.”

Marina Sans

Liquid Cosmos


Each Marina session is unique, thought out and conducted according to her reading of the person receiving that experience. Her incredible “sense-ability” and unique philosophy developed overtime, make her a subtle and precise reader of the body’s needs. Her work is as delicate as it is profound. After going through the learning and practice of Watsu, Aguahara and Butoh Dance, among other techniques of aquatic therapies, Marina created Liquid Cosmos (Somatic Education for Aquatic Bodywork). She is a deep connoisseur of the human body and her research on anatomy is in continuous evolution. She is fascinated by the discovery of the other and dedicated to water and to the awareness of touch.
She grew up on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, her name is Marina and she is a Pisces. Someone likely born to be aquatic… Before devoting herself 100% to Somatics in water, her work involved directing documentaries in the fields of anthropology and sociology. She spent long periods with tribes in the Amazon and Africa, where she enriched her connection to nature and to ancestral wisdom. Nowadays, she dedicates most of her time giving sessions at LiquidZome and training new therapists around the world, as it is also through this sharing of knowledge that she discovers more about human beings and herself.
