YOUR OCEAN THERAPY BEGINS
Surfing is for everyone. You don’t need to grow up by the ocean, be fearless, or “look like a surfer” to belong here. With the right support, patience, and encouragement, anyone can access what the ocean offers: confidence, awareness, and a deep sense of connection. I’m here to guide you through that process, one wave at a time.
My Surf Journey
The Ocean didn't find me until later in my life, and I never thought of surfing or that I would ever feel like I belonged in the water. The Ocean felt intimidating, the lineups overwhelming, the skills unachievable unless you start when you are still a kid. One day I decided just to try out of curiosity with no expectations, pressure or ambitions and then it happened - I will never forget the moment when I got up on a wave for the first time. I felt the stoke, the high, the light joy and the pure happiness that I have never felt before. Until today I keep coming back for this feeling and now want to share it with you.
One Wave At a Time
Learning to surf wasn’t easy for me. I was intimidated by the lineups, often felt embarrassed, frustrated or simply scared but I just kept showing up. Little by little, I learned to listen to the ocean, to my body, and to my limits. Surfing taught me patience with myself, with the conditions and with others as well as trust in process and timing. It showed me that progress doesn’t come from forcing things, but from allowing them, learning from them and taking the best experience out of them one wave at a time. That mindset became my compass in my everyday life, shaping how I move through things with patience, presence, and trust - one day at a time.
Over time, the ocean became a place of grounding and clarity. It helped me reconnect with myself, quiet my mind, and find balance through movement and presence. In the beginning of my surf journey I often wished I had someone by my side, someone to guide me gently, explain things clearly, and remind me that fear and uncertainty are part of the process, not signs of failure.
That experience shapes how I teach today. My approach is gentle, trauma-informed, and progress-oriented. Each lesson begins with listening to your experience, comfort level, fears, and goals. We build skills gradually, at your pace, creating a calm and supportive space in the water. There’s no pressure to perform, no rush to progress, and no expectations beyond showing up as you are.
