About Me
Becoming a Surf Instructor is one of the Best Decisions I have ever made because it helped me overcome years of Public Speaking Paralysis that would leave me in a Fight or Flight Response. To be beyond the Imposter within & Unlearn the Behaviour that would cause me to Freeze, made me realise how important this Role would be to Give Me Back My Own Voice!
Through starting my Surf Coaching Journey in a mainstream Surf School, I was able to develop a Basic Understanding of how to tailor Surfing Lessons according to an Individuals Needs & Skill Set. As much as it benefited my initial Teaching Method, I’d realised that I wanted to approach Surf Coaching from a whole different paradigm. Creating Long-Term Connections & Feeling Free to Teach How I Wanted Too was the biggest pull to establish my own Private Surf Coaching that is based upon a core value of mine: Treat All in Your Life from a Holistic Way of Being!
Having Fun was ultimately the North Star in this exploration, as I’d felt that this was a missing piece of the Puzzle. To lead with Playful Energy and fully allow it to guide how you Teach became a practice that I would base every lesson off. This is the Foundation of Blue Wave Surf, as it allows Individuals the opportunity to embrace a new Skill from a perspective of Fun, Safe Practice & Play.
What is Holistic Surf Coaching?
My Philosophy to Coaching comes from an Unschooling Background, whereby I believe that following the Student in their Process is the best way to support & guide them to where they want to go in the Ocean.
With an Outcome in mind, we utilise the present moment as a space for us to drop deeper into the Journey, to learn to go with the flow & to most importantly, enjoy the ‘Ride’.
Surfing is the Perfect Platform to build Inner Confidence & Resilience, as it allows the Individual to gain a sense of greater connection with the Ever-Changing Ocean!
