I'm a licensed therapist who grew up in the midwest without learning to surf until my late 20s. I've travelled and lived all over the world, but the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica was the place I found home in the water, a community around surfing, and even became the birthplace of my son. As a therapist,  I specialize in supporting  women overwhelmed with anxiety, panic, stuck with unresolved trauma, or feeling lost in motherhood. I wanted to create peak pivotal experiences for women to reset, realign, and reignite the spirit again. I also wanted to create a space to remind women of their power to choose their own path, what freedom means to you, and how you want your life to look like. When you experience the feeling of riding your first wave- it has the power to change what you believe is possible for yourself. 

 

Emerge Surf and Somatic Therapy was born in combing both my passion for diving to the depths with people and also remembering there's so much joy waiting for us at the surface. There's profound healing when we let ourselves play, experience true joy, and connection with ourselves, each other, and the natural world. We create a special community, and these retreats have a big impact whether thats to empower you in your relationships, reclaim your healing and growth, or provoke a deeper sense of self love and belonging.​ And mostly to remember -  it's not all that serious!
