Like everyone, I have a story. Paddle boarding saved my life during COVID; but not just because of the pandemic. I experienced a traumatic event that nearly cost me my life, and in the process, I discovered how essential it is to understand and connect with yourself on a deeper level. Paddle boarding became more than a sport or hobby—it became a tool to build confidence, resilience, and emotional awareness. Over time, I’ve branched this passion into helping others not only strengthen their bodies but also cultivate the self-understanding needed to navigate life in new, empowered ways. I am deeply grateful for the experiences and people I’ve met along the way, and I look forward to connecting with many more.
​
I firmly believe that every body can belong on a paddle board. Many of the people I’ve worked with have faced fears of falling in, tight hips or ankles, challenges with upper body strength, or neurodiverse experiences such as autism. Through paddle boarding and guided emotional awareness, each person learns to recognize and navigate their fears, connect with their strengths, and approach the unknown with courage. Every single person I’ve guided has come out the other end surprised by what they can accomplish; overwhelmed with joy, and more in tune with themselves than they ever imagined.
A little story...
I had a lady join me for a lesson in 2023 who had a huge fear of falling in and being under the water. This stemmed from a childhood experience, all of which we had discussed prior to the lesson.
When it came to self-rescue and getting in the water, I modified this for her. Prior to getting in the water, she started to have a panic attack. In this moment, I spoke with her gently to help ease her mind. When she was ready, she lowered herself into the water and then completely freaked out. I was there to pull her straight back on the board and help her come out of the panic state of mind.
Once she felt calm and stable to try again, she lowered herself back in. This time, she was a lot calmer and was able to listen to my every instruction to pull herself back on the board. By the end of the lesson, she even jumped off her board and got head deep under the water. She couldn't believe the confidence that came over her - breaking down her barrier.
When you work with me and my team, we focus on more than just your fitness or comfort on the water. We explore your goals, your fears, and what’s holding you back; creating experiences that strengthen your body, expand your self-awareness, and deepen your connection to yourself and nature. Our offerings include paddle boarding lessons, Sunrise Tours, Day Retreats, and Floating Sound Baths—all designed to guide you toward clarity, confidence, and presence.
​
Being on the water and in nature awakens more than physical potential. It nurtures emotional clarity, resilience, and a deeper sense of self. This is what I’ve experienced and what I aim to share: freedom, grounding, and the joy of connecting fully; with yourself, others, and the world around you.
