Making Waves

At Making Waves Social Work, our mission is to empower individuals through the healing power of the ocean, fostering resilience, connection, and personal growth. By blending professional social work with the joy of surfing, we create inclusive and supportive programs that inspire positive change, build community, and enhance the well-being of children, parents, carers, and adults.

Our Programs Include:

• Social Surf Sessions: Join a weekly welcoming group at Alexandra Headland Beach. These small, trauma-informed sessions are ideal for NDIS participants seeking mindfulness, connection, and community.
• Women’s Surf Circle: A sacred space for women of all ages and surf levels to reflect, connect, and grow through the power of the ocean.
• 1-on-1 Therapeutic Surfing: Tailored sessions for children and adults that focus on individual needs, fostering emotional resilience and building confidence.
