‘Surf Sisters:’ How Surf Therapy Helps Heal Grief and Loss

Mar 11, 2022 By: Taylor Fry
1 2

In National Geographic’s new short doc series, IMPACT, a six-part doc series that follows the stories of six women who make an impact in their communities across the globe, we are especially drawn to Episode 2, 'Surf Sisters,' which takes place in Half Moon Bay, California. 

Grief and loss are universal feelings. With this past year being quite isolating during the pandemic, that sentiment holds true as most of us move through these emotions. This is especially true for Kelsey, who lost her twin sister Audrey, who was a nurse, to COVID-19 last year. Driven by her two passions: surfing and helping people through their trauma and grief, Kelsey decided to turn the loss of her sister into something that would impact others by helping them with their own healing through surf therapy.

With Kelsey and Audrey growing up with love for surfing and helping others, it seems natural that Kelsey would honor her twin sister through a sport they both shared, and use it to help other women who are suffering. In this episode of the series, support, love and surfing bring a community together to show us how “the ocean embodies an endless abyss that can hold all of us.”

On the topic of healing, one of the surfers comes up with a simple, yet jarring analogy from watching the waves crash against the shore: “I can go there, touch my grief, and it won’t be there forever. It finishes and cycles back.”

Since starting the group, Kelsey has helped over 250 women heal from traumas associated with grief, loss, domestic violence, sexual assault and human trafficking. Watch the full episode here.

it"s obvious some patients with Herpes Virus are being enslaved to the antiviral and other supplementary Orthodox medicine just to help suppress the virus and not a cure. I have been with the virus since 2015 until I was introduced by a blogger who also narrated her story online on how she was cured of HPV after using Dr ALUDA Herbal Medicine. This is a year and 2 weeks since I was delivered from Herpes VIRUS. All thanks to God for using this Great herbalist to heal me. I have promised to keep telling good things about Dr ALUDA. Please feel free to share Your problems with him and don’t forget to tell him I did refer you to Him. Thanks.

I am excited to share this testimony, I was 3 years ago diagnosed with Herpes virus . My medical condition was heartbroken because it was causing me so many our brakes, I was subjected to different medications by my medical doctor just to control the outbreaks. Despite my visit to several doctors my health wasn’t getting better, all they could say is for me to stay on the treatment. At the verge of giving up, I went to the internet to search for a treatment on my own at least. But I found a cure instead. On the internet, I read a testimony of a lady who had herpes. She shared an e-mail address of the Doctor. Luckily everything seemed to be okay after I took the Herbal Medicine. I wish I could say that’s the end of it because I haven’t had any symptoms since then.  Do not expose yourself to more danger, use a herbal remedy that is safe and effective. If interested contact him via email address dr.abaherbalhome@gmail.com or call +2348107155060
