Healing Waves is committed to providing a high-quality, person-centred service, enabling everyone to have their own unique and valuable experience.
Since its creation in 2017, Healing Waves has progressed from offering sessions one weekend a month, to now providing year-round sessions five days a week. We have built a strong community based upon acceptance and are working to change local culture towards kindness, love and acceptance of all.
Although surf therapy is the core offering of Healing Waves, from April to November we also run paddle board sessions – and when the weather isn’t on our side the Surf Therapy Centre can provide balance board sessions, sensory play, forest school arts & crafts and other engaging activities.
From late November to late March, we access the Merton Aquadome to deliver FlowRider sessions, paddle practice and pool-based sensory play for our Athletes. These sessions allow us to run a meaningful year-round service.
Our Sessions
Healing Waves offers ocean therapy through guided surf, paddle and FlowRider sessions.
These water sports are used as a vessel, assisting our Athletes to gain more self-confidence, communication and other transferable life skills, whilst providing respite and fun for all who attend.
Our Programmes
We now have a number of established programmes, benefiting hundreds of families, holiday makers, schools and charities
So, whether you or your loved one are hoping to access our services, get in touch!
Our classroom is the beach and trust us when we say there are endless lessons.
We now have 11 schools accessing this framework, which is all about teamwork and increasing emotional literacy. Learners discover and apply their Healing Waves experiences to their lives and school learning. The overall aim is to boost resilience and self-confidence, helping to shape their mindset and reignite a passion for learning.
True partnership is how we can combine our skills to benefit more individuals in need. It’s not about how we can raise as much money as possible.
Our partnership events provide the opportunity for your service users to observe and celebrate the successes of their friends whilst building the courage to have a go themselves. Since the opening of our Surf Therapy Centre we have run a number of successful partnership events with Les Amis, Brighter Futures, Happy Heroes, Eyecan & Macmillan to name just a few.
If you like the sound of co-hosting a day that is all about celebration of ability and filled with new experiences, we can help.
Once a year our experienced team moves over to Guernsey to provide surf and paddle sessions for both children and adults of our sister Island.
This gives us the opportunity to expand our offerings and we are excited to build upon this venture in the years to come.
If you live in Guernsey and would like to benefit, why not take a visit over to Jersey or simply get in touch so we can book you in on our next trip over.
