Meeting Omer Shenar  

About & Philosophy

My name is Omer. I was born in Eilat, Israel in 1972.

I live in Ericeira, Portugal and work as a professional Hydrotherapist - Aquatic Bodyworker world wide

and share my knowledge and experience through teaching.

​

All my life I have been surrounded and motivated by water. From my childhood days on the shores of the "Red- sea", throughout most of my grownup life on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea and today, by the coast of Atlantic ocean. 

​

For me, water as an element, is a formative force with a powerful, broad and deep philosophical meaning.

Nature as a metaphor for life and a reflector.

​

Water is a living matter, authentic, holding memories and conductive. The water envelops, nourish in stillness or in flow, with dynamic rhythm, transforming and taking shape. The body float above the surface or immerse below, encourages and emphasis breathing, thoughts and a myriad of emotions, making space for processes on the axis of relaxation - meditation - integration.

​

I believe in entwine between therapeutic approaches:

the "scientific west" with the "holistic east", bringing in the abundance and properties of the two and express it in practice. I also introduce the ״Yin and Yang"concept with deep understanding of the relationship between earth ("land") and water, providing tools for observing, assessing and coping.

With my professional knowledge and experience I serve together the two worlds of therapeutic activities: rehabilitative and wellness to accompanied processes of
Body-Mind-Spirit.

​

I am a surfer, open water swimmer, ex-Judoka,

love to draw and create art and inspired by walking in the great outdoors and practice meditation.
