Holistic Surf Coaching

Advance your surfing skills, learn mindfulness tools, and build community

When I first started learning to surf in the mid 90s, I was told that “surfing is for boys”. That launched me on a mission to inspire more women to get out there, and a goal to teach them how to surf with skill and confidence. Creating this Holistic Surf Coaching program is another step on that path. The program will help boost your confidence every time you paddle out into the ocean, and also make you feel more prepared to ride the waves life throws at you back on shore. Plus, you’ll meet like-minded women and start building your own supportive surf community. 

The Holistic Surf Coaching programs include trauma-informed surf coaching, instructional workshops and videos, and individual one-on-one video coaching and counseling sessions. There are options for 2-hour in person sessions, weekend workshops, week-long international retreats, and virtual sessions. We can discuss what’s going on in your life, goals, relationships, and past physical or emotional injuries, whether they are related to surfing or not. I love making connections between the way we approach surfing to the rest of life.

I have the most experience working with women age 25-60, but feel comfortable relating to all ages and genders. I’m comfortable and happy to support you in exploring childhood traumas, physical traumas, relationship issues, LGBTQ+, sexual experiences, or we can keep it light and just talk surfing.

“Holly taught me that while the goal may be to challenge myself, the point is to have fun, to work hard but not take myself too seriously, to not be afraid to take up space. To value my own voice and the voice of others. To know when to stay put and when to move on. Surfing is about more than just surfing - and at the same time, it's just surfing!"
