HOW YOUR
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
