Surf therapy and the ocean has been a big part of my own journey and I couldn’t feel more honored to be apart of offering it to the community. Whether you have zero experience around the ocean or you already have a regular surf practice, I would love to share with you my experience with Groundswell Community Project’s trauma-informed training and certification. This includes Mindfulness-based therapy, somatic-based therapy, expressive-arts, and eco-therapy practices.
My time working alongside Groundswell in group and 1:1 surf therapy sessions have been some of my most memorable experiences as an associate therapist. I also have background in other community organizations and treatment centers working with individuals in recovery, women, and teens. I can’t wait to hear from you and talk with you more about what these sessions include!
