HEALING HELPS

Your healing impacts the world around you, more than you know.

The ripple effect we have when we choose to heal our relationship with water & with ourselves is powerful.

When we connect with water, we are far more likely to love, nurture & care for it.

Just as with water, the same applies for ourselves, others & the world around us.

For every session you have with us, you support the Re~Creation Donation & the following:

~ Providing free SUP & Swim Therapy sessions for children experiencing fear of water

~ Providing free SUP & Swim Therapy sessions for underprivileged children

~ Supporting the efforts of Love Your Greats to keep our local waterways clean
