Ep.31 | The Healing Power of The Ocean With Sophie Pyne

If you’re anything like me, the ocean has always been my happy place and a source of healing, connection, and transformation. 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 - a 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. We chat about the profound impact the ocean had on her and its role as a powerful facilitator for healing.

We also talk about her experience with surf therapy and how nature helps us to slow down and bring us back into alignment with our true nature. She also shares several practical tips for how the ocean’s magic can become a part of YOUR healing journey!
