If you’re anything like me, the ocean has always been my happy place and a source of profound healing and connection. There's something incredibly relaxing about listening to the sound of the waves, watching the water, and smelling the salt from the sea in the air. The ocean has this really beautiful and unique ability to calm our minds and foster this deep sense of inner peace within ourselves. But WHY does the ocean have such a powerful impact on our well-being?

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Sophie Pyne - licensed clinical social worker, holistic therapist, founder of The Ocean Healing Institute, and co-founder of Waves of Recovery.

In this episode, we dive into:

• Sophie's inspiring recovery journey and how nature played a pivotal role in her sobriety
• The profound impact the ocean had on her healing process and why she sees it as her higher power
• How the ocean can be a powerful facilitator for healing
• What surf therapy is and how it can help improve mental health
• The transformative power of nature in healing, reconnecting our mind-body connection, and calming our nervous system
• The concepts of "Red Mind" and "Blue Mind" and their effects on our well-being
• How nature helps us slow down and brings us back into alignment with our true nature
• She also shares several practical tips for connecting with nature and the ocean in your daily practice - even if you don’t live near the coast or are in an urban environment
