Dive into Healing and Empowerment with Women’s Holistic Surf Days

Join us for a transformative day of connection with Certified Surf Therapy Facilitator Mary Frandson, as these sessions weave mindfulness, surf therapy, and sisterhood into an experience of self-discovery and healing. From grounding beach rituals and breath-led yoga flow to learning how to ride the waves with intention, each moment is designed to reconnect you with your inner strength and the wisdom of Mother Ocean.

These sessions offer a safe, empowering space to release fear, embrace play, and ride the waves of life together. Our talented and well-loved instructor, Bryan Branch, will join us in the water to offer instruction and support.

Find Your Flow: Surf, Sisterhood, and Self-Care

Women’s Wellness Surf Days invite you to experience sanctuary by the sea—whether you’re a first-timer ready to find your stoke, a mother craving a little space to exhale, or someone navigating an experience of trauma or grief, this 2-hour session is intended for anyone looking to find healing in the waves. Through surf therapy, movement, and shared intention, we gather in sisterhood to reconnect with our bodies, our stories, and the wisdom of the waves. We’ll start with a mindful intention and movement to ground and awaken the body, then dive into an hour of expression in the ocean (boogie boarding or surfing), and finish with restorative yoga and reflection on the sand, leaving you feeling restored, connected, and renewed.
