THAT'S ME

YOUR GUIDE ON THE SIDE

With over a decade of experience teaching water-based activities & inspired by my certifications as a...

Surf Therapy™ Provider with the Groundswell Community Project

Meditation, Mindful Living & Breathwork Guide with the Lab of Meditation

PaddleFIT™ CORE Coach & Paddleboard Instructor with the World Paddle Association

It is my belief that through intentional time around, on, in & under the water...

We can re~create both your relationship with yourself & the world around you.

Through my trauma-informed trainings as well as over a decade of water-based teaching experience & diverse personal lived experience has helped me to understand the possibilities & potential pathways for healing that I am able to uniquely offer.

I am here to help you deepen your relationship with yourself & with the world around you using scientifically proven tools for healing through therapeutic recreational activities around, on, in & under the water.

RECREATION TO RE~CREATION PROGRAM

Through combining different recreational activities around, on in & under the water ~ this program seeks to help you navigate your path to freedom from whatever you feel is holding you back from living the life you want.

Our unique program includes online & in-person exploration that is self-paced.
That means that our program is based on the foundational belief that...

We will never force you to take a next step until you are ready & will adapt the experience based on your vision.
We believe that 'success' looks different for everyone & exploration should have a Choose Your Own Adventure approach to be truly transformative.

Our intention with Inner Depth is to help you develop your 'self-expertise' even deeper.
To truly know yourself inside & out so you are empowered to live fully in a way that feels good to you.

This course is built on the belief that of voluntary 'discomfort' as the pathway to liberation.
We are ready to hold safe space for you when you are ready to dive deeper.

No matter what age or stage you are... we always abide by Pema Chodron's wisdom...

With the Paddleboard as our foundation, we explore water slowly & intentionally through swimming & snorkelling.

You can work with us to design an experience that helps you reach the next level of your comfort with water.

For others, the thought of being in the deep end of pool or in a pool at all is uncomfortable or scary.

All comfort levels are welcomed, understood & supported.

We will always begin with an in-pool session to ensure you have the foundations mastered before progressing.

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.
