“My life has always been intertwined with the ocean. From a young age, the water served as my sanctuary—an escape from the challenges of my home life. Surfing wasn’t just a hobby for me; it became a way of life, a means of finding peace and clarity amid personal struggles. Over the years, as I navigated the highs and lows of life—battling addiction, depression, and a deep sense of disconnection—I came to understand the profound healing power of the ocean.

Through years of self-discovery, travelling the globe for almost a decade surf guiding and coaching. I learned that the water was much more than a source of joy and escape—it was a vital force for healing, transformation, and growth. Returning to the ocean time and time again gave me the strength to overcome my darkest moments and reshaped my life in ways I never imagined possible.

As my journey unfolded, it became clear that my true purpose was to share this healing with others. I wanted to help people reconnect with themselves and experience the same transformative power of the water that I had found. This vision led to the creation of Blue Mind Retreat—a space designed to guide others on their own journey.
