About

"We know only too well that what we are doing is nothing more than a drop in the ocean. But if the drop were not there, the ocean would be missing something.” – Mother Teresa

ABOUT ALISON

WELCOME!

My primary goal is to help competitive and free surfers prevent injury, elevate their surfing, and become pain-free.

As the founder of Healing for Surfers, I offer healing sessions that powerfully intertwine deep tissue massage, hot stone therapy, stretch therapy, and Holy Spirit healing.

I am an ocean lover, athlete, and mom. My love for healing is a personal passion. I believe the Creator of the sea and healing are One. Healing, being strong, and being well are our nature when we align and train ourselves to be. Healing for Surfers allows me to be a meaningful "drop" in the ocean of healing for others. 

My primary intention is to train you for injury prevention as a preference over injury recovery. Surfing is a tremendously dynamic sport; if injuries do occur, my goal for you is a solid and complete comeback. I know what it's like to tear a meniscus and not be able to walk, let alone surf. I know what it's like to fracture a spine and break both wrists and an ankle simultaneously. Can you say "ouch?!" I also know how to be strong, fit, and injury-free while doing dynamic athletics. 

Everything I have learned personally, from my healing journey, and professionally, from being in the field of performance and healing arts for 20 years, I am here to pass on to you.

My Healing Story

"What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger."

There are injuries and then there are injuries.

I remember the first time I knocked the wind out of myself, falling flat on my back and quite obviously not landing a small ski jump I attempted at 6 years old.

For a moment, breathless, my brain screamed, "Help, I can't breathe. Am I going to die?" Read Full Story
