Ocean and Surf Therapy can begin a journey to inner healing and connecting with friends. Todays women & girls face many obstacles. Life events that cause grief, trauma, and pain can isolate people from their surroundings and each other. Surfing is a uniquely fun and challenging platform where we can be mindful, and enjoy our community & nature!
Our Surf and Wellness Programs are empowering women & girls socially, emotionally, and physically in Charleston, South Carolina. When women are nourished, they and their loved ones & communities thrive! It’s our goal for women to have fun & grow together in the waves. We create lasting friendships built on support and wellness.
Waves 4 Women strives to connect and support through our Community Partner Surf Therapy Clinics and School-Based Programs. We are LGBTQ+ friendly & seek opportunities to further support underrepresented groups . We are honored to share the coast with the many local tribes in the Charleston Gullah community and are here to share the surfing vibes!
If you are looking for a safe and supportive community, sign up for a program today and start your journey towards thriving with friends!
