Meeting Omer Shenar  

About & Philosophy

Hello, my name is Omer. I was born in Eilat, Israel, in 1972. I currently reside in Ericeira, Portugal, where I work as a professional Hydrotherapist and Aquatic Bodyworker. I am passionate about sharing my knowledge and experience globally through teaching and guiding others on their therapeutic journeys.

​

Water has been a present element in my life, shaping both my personal and professional path. From my childhood on the shores of the Red Sea, through most of my adult years along the Mediterranean, to now being by the Atlantic Ocean, water has always been my source of inspiration and deep connection.

​

For me, water is not just an element; it is a transformative force with deep philosophical meaning. It serves as both a reflection and a metaphor for life itself. Water is a living, authentic entity that holds memories, is conductive, and has the power to nourish, heal, and shape. Whether still or flowing, it invites the body to float or immerse, fostering deep breathing, emotional release, and the space for relaxation, meditation, and integration.

I believe in bringing together therapeutic practices—melding the scientific rigor of the West with the holistic wisdom of the East. This fusion allows for a comprehensive approach, blending both worlds to create meaningful results. Central to my work is the understanding of the "Yin and Yang" principle, and the relationship between earth (land) and water, which guides my methods of observation, assessment, and intervention.

With my knowledge and experience, I bridge the worlds of rehabilitation and wellness, guiding people through transformative processes that nurture the Body, Mind, and Spirit.

Beyond my professional work, I am a surfer, an open water swimmer, and a former Judoka. I find inspiration in drawing, creating art, and being in nature, where I practice meditation to stay grounded and connected.
