Who are Healing Waves?

A Jersey-based charity that delivers life-changing ocean therapy sessions for people living with disabilities, long-term conditions and mental health challenges.

What do they do?

Healing Waves uses the power of the ocean to provide therapeutic experiences through activities like surfing, paddleboarding and other water-based sessions. These sessions help individuals build confidence, improve wellbeing and develop new skills in a safe and supportive environment.

Their approach focuses on what people can do, creating opportunities for achievement, connection and personal growth.

What services do they offer?

Healing Waves offers a range of ocean therapy sessions, including:

• Surf therapy
• Paddleboard sessions
• Flowrider sessions
• Other supported water-based activities

These sessions are free to access and provide therapeutic benefits, while also offering valuable support and respite for families.

Who can use their services?

Healing Waves supports individuals of all ages living with physical disabilities, neurological conditions or mental health challenges. Their services are designed to be inclusive and accessible, ensuring more people can benefit from the positive effects of being in and around the water.

Where are they based?

Healing Waves operates from its surf therapy centre at Le Braye in St Ouen, Jersey, providing a dedicated and accessible space for ocean therapy sessions. During the Winter season, they are based at the Merton where they host flowrider sessions.
