About

Nice to meet you — I'm Giselle!

After many years of work and rich experience in Israel, the time has come to start here in the Valley! I bring with me over 15 years of experience teaching swimming and guiding people in the water at every age — from 3 to 99.

Alongside the hands-on experience, I've completed the leading professional certifications in Israel:

Wingate Institute graduate in swim instruction and stroke improvement
Beit Issie Shapiro certified in hydrotherapy and Watsu

My lessons are private, personally tailored, and held in the most supportive, joyful, and positive atmosphere there is. The water is waiting for us! 🌊

Water anxiety

💙 Overcoming water anxiety and taking back control

The negative experiences behind water anxiety can come from many places — a past traumatic experience, little exposure to water in childhood, or a built-in fear of losing control. Facing the fear begins with acknowledging it and understanding that it's a natural response that can be changed.

I want you to know: there is no shame in this fear, and many people face the same challenge.

Trust and gradual progress:

the process with me starts with building full trust with the water and advances step by step — from sitting at the pool's edge, to touching the water, to a gentle transition into the shallows. My focus is always on building your confidence and a complete sense of control.

Breathing techniques:

we'll learn essential tools for easing anxiety together, practicing proper breathing outside the water and then gradually within it, to calm the body and build confidence.

Your pace only:

the process is completely personal. I match the pace of progress exactly to your abilities and confidence in the moment — no pressure, no rushing — in the safest, quietest, most intimate setting there is.

Confidence & Overcoming Fear of Water

Sensitive, attentive guidance at your own pace, with all the professional tools I've acquired, for anyone ready to leave the fear behind and start enjoying the water.

Stroke Improvement & Pain Relief
