Groundswell Surf Therapy ™
Groundswell Surf Therapy programs are small intentional intersectional spaces for womxn to reclaim their healing, power, and belonging in the sea together. Our research-based surf therapy curriculum and models are built to best support the holistic healing of womxn and their communities overcoming various forms of trauma and its mental health effects.
The Curriculum
Pulling from collective trainings and experience in trauma informed practices, somatic therapy, expressive arts therapy, positive psychology theory of change, and eco therapy we authored the Groundswell Surf Therapy model, and curriculums that welcome the wisdoms of the body, community, and earth back into the healing process.
Our Facilitators
Our Surf Therapy sessions are unique in that they are facilitated and supervised by licensed trauma-informed therapists, supported by surf coaches and volunteers that have completed our trauma informed surf therapy training. This team holds intentional, safe, and brave space to invite your body, mind, and heart to join you in the healing process and adventure of surfing and ocean engagement. Our goal is to uphold the highest levels of psychological safety and physical safety for participants on their surf journey.
