In this episode, host Albert Balderas, California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Surf Therapy Facilitator, introduces listeners to the transformative world of surf therapy — a nature-based therapeutic approach rooted in presence, motion, and connection to the ocean.

We explore the definition of surf therapy through the lens of the International Surf Therapy Organization, and how being in the water activates calm, clarity, and nervous system regulation. Albert also breaks down the concept of Blue Mind, the meditative state our brains enter when we connect with water.

If you’ve ever felt healed, grounded, or renewed just by being near the ocean — this episode will help you understand why.

Your healing might already be waiting at the shoreline.
