How Surfing is Mentally, Physically and Emotionally Therapeutic
Surfing as a form of therapy? It sounds odd, right? As a lifelong surfer, I’ve felt better after surfing—the act of riding a wave in the ocean on a surfboard—but I didn’t know it could be therapeutic.
I wanted to learn more about it, so I began talking with surf therapy practitioners and surf therapy organizations around the world. And what I found out I put in my book Surf Therapy: The Evidence-Based Science for Physical, Mental & Emotional Well-Being.
“Surf therapy” is defined by the International Surf Therapy Organization as “the use of surfing as a vehicle for delivering intentional, inclusive, population-specific, and evidenced-based therapeutic structures to promote psychological, physical, and psychosocial well-being.”
There is a treasure trove of evidence-based data and testimonials that shows how surfing is therapeutic—even life saving—for many afflictions and traumas, including:
1. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder: Whether you’re a military veteran, police officer, or you’ve experienced Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in your life, surfing can serve as a form of treatment. How does PTSD affect you? Stress causes your amygdala (the almond shaped area in your brain that involves emotion) to release toxins, and too much of it can damage your hippocampus (which helps you make sense and contextualize your experiences). This leads to thinking the past is present, and reliving trauma again and again. Surfing helps by requiring you to focus on the present so that you don’t relive the past. By surfing with a surf therapy organization, you’ll also meet others who may be going through a similar situation and can share their experiences.
2. At-Risk Youth: In areas around the world where there isn’t much opportunity for young adults, many surf therapy practitioners are stepping up and taking them surfing. Surfing not only has been proven to improve self esteem, reduce impulsivity, improve attention, improve heart rate; it also reduces toxic stress that is more prevalent in these communities. Surf therapy practitioners also act as mentors, encouraging good behavior and good grades to help to guide children and young adults who may be missing one or both parents, or have no family at all.
3. Physical Disability: The notion of surfing if you have a disability can be scary. Thanks to several surf therapy pioneers, adaptive surfboards ensure that you can experience the healing powers of the sea safely, even if you have a spinal cord injury, paralysis of any kind, cerebral palsy, amputation(s) or another disability.If a disability has taken away the ability to get an adrenaline rush, surf therapy can provide it. It also provides a cheering section of volunteers who root you on as you surf towards shore. The resounding theme from surf therapy events is that the act of surfing provides an incredible sense of freedom.
4. Drug Addiction: Surf therapy programs have been proven to help those with drug addictions stay clean. In a surf therapy program, you will find practitioners, counselors and therapists who can help you stay on the right track, along with a community of other participant seeking to do the same. Because surfing provides a natural dopamine release, along with an endorphins rush known as a runner’s high, it can still provide a natural hit that those with drug addictions may be craving.
5. Mental Health: Instead of therapy inside four walls, therapy on the beach with a surfboard has helped individuals across the world experience an increase in calmness, resilience, confidence, happiness and improvement in friendships.
Here’s the thing also, if you don’t have the means to travel to the ocean or the sea to experience surf therapy for yourself or a loved one, there may be a wave pool nearby that is offering this. Read more about surf therapy in my new book Surf Therapy. Available wherever you buy books.

Created with the finest ingredients, NoliQ aims to satisfy sophisticated palates, nourish ambitions, complement dynamic lifestyles, and elevate social gatherings—all without a drop of alcohol. This summer, raise a glass to a drink that truly represents you.
The Vision Behind NoliQ
At NoliQ, the mission is clear: to shake up the beverage industry with bold, audacious flavors and an unapologetic flair. The goal is to redefine what it means to enjoy a drink by putting non-alcoholic options in the spotlight. NoliQ envisions a world where non-drinkers and those seeking alcohol-free alternatives are the VIPs of any gathering, enjoying a healthier, more exhilarating, and fulfilling lifestyle. With NoliQ, your taste buds will dance like nobody’s watching.
The Founder: Nyina
The story of NoliQ begins with its founder, Nyina, a physician, triathlete, and trainer who turned into a mixologist ready to revolutionize the world of non-alcoholic (NA) drinks. Born and raised in Kenya, Nyina draws inspiration from her rich African culture and advocates for healthier lifestyle choices. Her sophisticated, classy, and drama-free drinks are made with lots of love and are meant for everyone to share. With a deep commitment to health and wellness, Nyina created NoliQ to provide a delicious alternative to traditional alcoholic beverages.
“Sophisticated, classy, drinks-no-drama, made with lots of love, for everyone to share.” – Nyina
The Story Behind NoliQ
The idea for NoliQ was born from a shared frustration with the poor selection of alcohol-free drinks. Two friends, while freestyling to a beat at home, concocted delicious booze-less cocktails using herbs, spices, honey, and lime. This resulted in an epic night with 100% mental clarity, pure connections, and a wild idea to create a brand dedicated to alcohol-free living. Inspired by the magic of this lifestyle, Nyina embarked on a mission to raise awareness and make these treasures accessible to everyone.
She became a mixologist, bought a mobile bar, and served her creations at various events. After being repeatedly asked if she packaged her drinks, Nyina took the plunge, went to the lab, and worked tirelessly to perfect her formulas. The result? Mind-blowing alcohol-free cocktails that are bold in flavor, low in calories, and infused with essential vitamins to fuel ambitions and energize pursuits.

Lightly carbonated, it’s a sweet and nutty delight perfect for any occasion.
- Gingerberry Burst: Combining blueberry sweetness with a zesty kick of ginger and a refreshing minty finish, Gingerberry Burst is a flavor explosion that will leave your taste buds craving more. This alcohol-free cocktail is perfect for those who love a bit of spice and sweetness in their drinks.
- MargnoliQa: A smoky, fiery twist on the classic margarita mocktail, MargnoliQa blends tart, sweet, salty, and smoky flavors with a kick of jalapeño. Infused with vitamins and minerals, it helps you rock today and slay tomorrow’s goals. Lightly carbonated, MargnoliQa is the ultimate party drink, offering all the flavor with none of the alcohol.

May is Anxiety Awareness Month
Anxiety and sleep disorders go hand in hand. Poor sleep causes anxiety and anxiety causes poor sleep. In fact, it’s likely not a coincidence that the number of Americans suffering from long-term sleep disorders and the number of Americans diagnosed with anxiety disorders every year are the same: 40 million.
It is currently estimated that 1 in 4 people experience sleep difficulty, including falling asleep, staying asleep, experiencing restless and unsatisfying sleep. Did you know? A sleepless night is known to cause a rise in anxiety by 30%.
Sleep problems affect how we function emotionally, mentally and physically. Poor sleep causes people to become more irritable, feel depressed and problem solve less effectively.
When poor sleep escalates into sleep deprivation, things deteriorate even further, negatively affecting our emotional functioning, overall mood, and anxiety level. Once we become disconnected from our emotions, our anxiety gets worse.
So, what is the solution to this vicious sleep-and-anxiety cycle?
1. Create a sleep routine before bed. It’s important to have good sleep hygiene for our mental health. Two hours before you go to bed, focus on relaxing and decompressing. Stay away from intense exercise in the evening or watching the evening news or movies with violence. Also avoid alcohol and caffeine in the evening.
2. Activate your senses. Stimulate your Parasympathetic Nervous System, your “rest and relax” nervous system, by activating your 6 senses: put a candle on, use your favorite bubble bath, do a foot massage bath, drink warm milk, or cuddle a pet.
3. Unload all your stress and worry. Worry is the fear of the future and can keep you up at night. Journal in a book, talk to a supportive friend, anything you can do to unload your stress and worry for the day.
For many more tips and strategies on how to decrease your anxiety and improve your mental health, check out my latest book The Instant Anxiety Solution.
