Tyson Bierwolf
CA CMT, Watsu® Practitioner, Certified Teacher & Advanced Practitioner - Northern Style Thai Yoga Massage
I am a practitioner at the Wave Academy because I have seen firsthand the profound effects of untreated post-traumatic stress in multiple generations of my family, and am committed to breaking the cycle of trauma, while also embracing the chance to give back to the veteran community of San Diego. Showing what the water has to offer the world is one of my greatest joys, and I feel so blessed to be able to share it with as many people as possible.

Why I am a practitioner for Wave Academy:
When I step into the warm water and join hands with my person, everything else floats away, only our breath and hearts are one, as the healing journey begins.

HHP, CMT, Watsu® Practitioner, Aquatherics Practitioner, Jin Shin Practitioner, Guild Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner
I love seeing the transformation of our veterans—helping them where they are and providing for opportunities of healing in the pool. It’s so rewarding to see the transformation of our “floatees” from the beginning of a weekly session to its end. This amazing warm water bodywork work is so profound and continues to integrate into all aspects of their lives. So much changes for each participant, and as practitioners, we grow exponentially.
