Fundraiser for Medical Expenses with Sessions or a Donation

Hi,

I’m reaching out to reconnect, share my journey, and ask for your support as I work to rebuild my career after some challenging years.

My Journey and Lessons Learned

As you may recall, my work in aquatic fitness and therapy has always been adaptively unconventional. I’ve had the unique privilege of tailoring sessions and classes since 2008, all thanks to clients like you. But the past four years have brought challenges that tested me well beyond anything I could have imagined.

Since relocating to Sarasota in 2021, I haven't been able to work or build any kind of business with any consistency due to a series of medical issues. To be blunt, I have undergone five surgeries and two procedures.

Despite all these setbacks, the water has been my sanctuary and classroom. When combining water with land at various phases of my recovery, it provided a path to accelerated recovery that I have yet to find anyone else doing. Every week, the head physical therapist was amazed by my recovery progression.

I've learned more working through my recovery than any academic certification can offer, and I am incredibly appreciative of these life-changing lessons. Because I now can use it to help others.

How You Can Support

All I want to do is get back to doing what I love, my work. To help make this happen, I am offering my aquatic services at a discount pre-purchase price to relaunch my business in Miami, preferably by early March 2025.

My goal is to raise $60K or 60 units for medical expenses and to help me get back on my feet.

1 unit = $1000 for six (6) private sessions or a group of up to 5 people.

Please use Venmo (@aquastu) if you are only interested in pre-purchasing a unit for yourself. If you would like to gift a unit or more to someone else or make a donation, please use GoFundMe.

Every contribution will go toward my medical expenses and support my return to work.

If you’re unable to contribute financially, sharing my story or referring someone to my services would mean a lot, so any recommendations would be deeply appreciated.

Why This Matters

Recovery isn’t just about healing—it’s about reclaiming your life. With my unique perspective of being an aquatic trainer and recently as a patient, I’ve experienced the transformative power of water, using aquatic principles in conjunction with land work no one else knows of to accelerate recovery in ways traditional therapy doesn't.

These principles I've discovered will work for everyone, including you, regardless of age or fitness level. I want to help shatter the preconceived biases about aquatic fitness and therapy, and your support will allow me to start back on that journey.

Let’s Reconnect

If you have any questions or would like more information, please reach out. I’d love to hear how you’ve been and explore how we can work together again. Thank you for being part of my journey and for believing in me and what I do.

With warmth and much gratitude,

Stuart
