There's something inherently soothing about being in the ocean...

If you're feeling anxious … surfing asks you to breathe. 

If you’re overthinking and unfocused… surfing leaves you no choice but to be present. 

If you’re doubting yourself… surfing shows you what you're capable of.

If you’re disconnect from relationships… the surfing community shows you deep acceptance. 

If you’re stuck and heavy… surfing brings laughter, joy, and play back into your life.

If you’re feeling lost and uncertain… surfing reminds us we belong in nature.

Explore a new wave of healing that combines evidence-backed psychology and neuroscience with the transformative power of surfing to help you emerge as a more confident you.

Hi, I’m Kristin!

 

For me, being in the ocean is like a home coming. A sense of stillness, and a knowing I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be. The ocean reminds me that gratitude and joy  are sacred in this life and should be cultivated and shared. 

 

And as for surfing? It reminds me to breathe and brings me back to my body when I've been stuck in my head. I’ve learned it’s another avenue for meaningful connection, empowerment, and deep healing. 

 

(Plus, it’s the perfect place to surround yourself with other encouraging folks who are living a courageous life.)

 

In partnering with local community surf professionals,  my hope is to create a transformative space for you to step out of your comfort zone to experience healing and growth in a new way, to rediscover a sense of belonging in yourself, and breathe new confidence back into your life.
