Testimonials

My emotional eating was out of control, I couldn’t shift excess weight and I felt low, like I was failing myself.
I needed help, but didn’t know what kind. Deniz devised a holistic programme for me, that combined 4 different treatments, tackling my destructive habits head-on. The improvement came instantly. And within 2 weeks I’d fully taken control of my eating, with a system that I now have for the future.
I feel confident, better connected with my body and in control – at last!
So grateful to Deniz for truly understanding, and getting me here”.
To book a therapy with Deniz, is to give your whole body a chance to be heard, not just what you believe the problem to be.

Deniz is a very talented and exceptionally gifted healer and therapist. I consider myself immensely fortunate that I was able to have some sessions of Watsu and Emotional Release Massage with her. If you get the chance to work with her, you absolutely must take it. She is a truly extraordinary woman who loves what she does and is an expert in her field. She helped me greatly and I can say that wholeheartedly because I spend my life meeting people in the healing profession and working both with them and alongside them.

When I was staying at Six Senses Kaplankaya, I was told by so many people that I must have a session with Deniz Susever. I had no idea what she did, but because she was spoken about always in superlatives. I had a session with her and it was so profound experience that I had three more during my stay and each time the effects were extraordinary I felt so amazing. She really is a miracle worker and I would recommend her to anybody. She worked on me physically but also emotionally and I can still feel the benefits today. She is a life changer.

I wanted to experience a water therapy called “Watsu” which is highly recommended as it takes me on a relaxing and invigorating journey of holistic healing. I closed my eyes and left myself Deniz’s loving arms like a mother. She has all the control… When i let go and surrender totally i forgot my existence and i felt like a fetus floating in the amniotic fluid in my mother’s womb.

It is a very extraordinary experience that should be experienced at least once in a lifetime. At the end of the therapy, I felt as light as a feather and rested as if I had slept all night, even though it lasted for 1 hour. Being weightless has really given me incredible relief on my back and lower back. Luckily, thanks to this indescribable experience I received on my very birthday, I felt reborn.

Watsu, an unusual therapy where the body is expertly stretched and realigned in the water while it’s in its most receptive, weightless state. Deniz Susever, the Spa’s Visiting Practitioner, is behind the most profound therapies, from EET (Emotional Empowerment Technique) to hypnotherapy sessions and if you have time you really should give these a try – you’ll be in expert hands.

After Deniz invites me to shut my eyes, we begin. Oh Lord this is touchy feely and I’m stiff as board. There is a point though, it is impossible not to surrender to the weightlessness of it all. It really is the most extraordinary feeling, being twisted and turned and floated in body temperature water. So safe, so tender, so loving, one could almost have a little weep. No wonder they use this as therapy for kids suffering from autism.

All too soon, it comes to an end (apparently it’s not good for you to stay in this ecstatic state for more than 60mins 😛 ). I resist the urge to give Deniz a big sloppy grateful hug. Might this work every week in lieu of seeing one’s shrink? I can’t see why not.

I am welcomed by the Watsu Practitioner Deniz Susever. She gently asks what is bothering me and causing me physical strain. The open discussion removes my initial doubt about this form of treatment. I enter a round pool with water at body temperature. A deep relaxation immediately sets in thanks to the weightlessness and special sounds underwater. What happens next is indescribable. Water transforms and transports energy, and the subconscious is often stronger than the conscious: we learn all that in school. But when you feel it at first hand and blockages and toxic emotions are immediately resolved, it is simply magical. I feel so safe in Deniz’s care, i cannot recommend her work enough. It is a radical experience.

A Mind As Free As The Ocean

During my visit to Gili i had a chance to meet with Wellness Expert Deniz Susever. According to Deniz, every person has four bodies: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. For a person to feel whole, these bodies need to work in harmony with one another. Deniz says, “allow yourself to be like a child again and express your joy freely. Sing, dance and walk in bare foot. Spend more time in the nature.

My feelings after my first Watsu session with Deniz:
I feel so pure, relaxed. Calm, but energetic. Full with love and joy. I just want everybody to feel the same.
During the session I was deeply relaxed, had free mind and sometimes I had very very pleasant visions, I saw the light of such a nice color, difficult to explain, something like turquoise: very light blue and then green. Then it was red and again turquoise. Maybe it was the color of Deniz’s energy 🥰
In the end of the practice I saw something like a tunnel in the water or under the water and it was very peaceful and beautiful. Maybe it was our connection with Deniz. 😊 It happened at that moment when I was comfortably sitting in the water she moved a little bit away from me.
And after that I just wanted to dive into the water and I did it.
Right after the session, still in the pool, I did not want to talk, I did not want it to end.
I am very thankful for the opportunity to work together. 🤗

Thank you dear Deniz

I had an amazing experience with my Watsu session. Your connection with people is beyond any words. May you be blessed always and thank you again for sharing your light with us. You make us feel happy and blessed.

Watsu is the water waltz of stretching and massage and being cradled on her shoulder felt primitive, peaceful, reassuringly safe. Hearing Deniz’s heartbeat heightened the intimacy and intensity of the therapy and it was at this point that I began to cry. Not huge sobs, just soft tears that merged with the water. Gradually she folded me into a foetal position and the water became still. Deniz then assumed a prayer pose to mark the end of the 60 minute session. My body felt unfurled and my default mood had been reset to mellow. Good work Mr Dull* and thank you Deniz. I felt reborn.

Have you ever shed tears of gratitude?

I believe everything happens for a reason, maybe because I am a women.

I try to find good in everything even if it is not there at all. I look for a magic as I am in a fairy tale, maybe, because I am still a child. There is always a path, a word or someone for me wherever I am.

Sometimes I miss it. Maybe I am not so courageous. Sometimes I catch it, when I am ambitious.

I’ve never regret when I accept an invitation or a long journey. I didn’t regret this particular invitation, just the opposite.

Sometimes, I believe that I should have met this person and it would matter to me.
That day, accepting the invitation of a friend for a breakfast led me to ‘Watsu’.

Watsu is not simply a water massage; Watsu is a session in water which can change your life, it is a water wonder, it is a water magic. It can’t be explained.

At the breakfast, I’ve been told that there was a girl practising water massage. I wanted to try, it sounded nice, I’ve never heard. And it was a wonderful idea.

Deniz Susever practices this massage. She holds your hand, she puts two tiny float on your ankles and asks to close your eyes for an hour.

And there is no gravity. Have you ever lose yourself in a non-gravity environment? I have. And the snake shakes…
Watsu was invented by a poet. I didn’t wonder at all. Because it is like a poem. I couldn’t talk when it was over. It could only be explained by a poem. Maybe with Harold Dull’s* poem.

Snake shakes
Its diamonds in the water
and all our loves
shine and come out to play
Snake shakes
Its diamonds in the water
and all we have
shimmers and flows away
Snake shakes
Its diamonds in the water

I’ve melted in her arms, like I was in my mother’s arms, for the first time in my life.

My body and the water temperature is the same; 36 degrees, salty and sweet, like the water in mom’s womb.
I first felt at my first home, the first 9 months of my life in my mom, what a wonderful time. My mom’s heartbeat, the feeling of the water, sweet waves and I swim with a smile on my face. I swim in a women, like a fairy tale.

Then this women will give birth, she will cry to my face and love me forever, her name will be mom. I am grateful that I am alive.
Then I realized my moment of being a mother, the months with my son in me, honeymoons and the moment he first looked in to my eyes. I am so grateful that I have him.

Then I surrender to the beauty of letting myself to non-gravity. What is this worry since the first minutes of our lives; not to be able to let go, this control, this endless wish to reshape our lives.

It was like; ’Let yourself to me, I promise you won’t regret, you will surprised when you open your eyes.
This was something like that.

Have you ever shed tears of gratitude?

I have.
