We create ocean-based, trauma-informed psychosocial well-being programs that support women, women veterans and emergency services through periods of transition, hardship, healing and growth.
We take the art and flow of surfing, and pair it with mental health psycho-education, nervous system regulation strategies and group connection to foster connection and build confidence so you can move forward with clarity and purpose.
Whilst we are not a charity, we do take donations to help directly subsidise programs for women facing financial barriers for support and we also accept donations of equipment for these women so they can continue their surfing journeys until a time where they can then give back.
Secondary to our residential programs, we do offer plain old regular learn to surf group and individual surf lessons locally. These are not structured like surf therapy, however, you can be assured that our coaches will still employ many surf therapy techniques and protocols to help you build your confidence and resilience in the water and life.
CONNECT. REFLECT. TRANSFORM.
CONNECT. REFLECT. TRANSFORM.
RECONNECT WITH BODY, SOUL & SPIRIT
Flow House is where healing, connection, and creativity flow together. Our surf therapy group residential and 1:1 mentoring programs invite women from all over Australia to reconnect with themselves, find balance, and rediscover their strength through tribe & sisterhood, self-awareness, and the power of the ocean.
What makes us different? Our coaches have lived experience and are clinically informed to provide evidence-based psycho-education that is directly relevant to you in a welcoming, enjoyable environment.
We’ve been where you are, and we’re here to show you that post-traumatic growth is achievable - with the right help and the right tools. Whether it’s recovery from trauma, life after service in the military or emergency services, or the tumultuous transitions throughout womanhood - we are here for you at Flow House.
Each program offers a specific curriculum for each cohort combining mental health psycho-education, nervous system regulation strategies, and experiential learning in the natural environment where we use the ocean as a conduit for the journey. It offers challenge, regulation, and perspective in a controlled safe environment where you can give yourself permission to surrender, grow and transform into the new and most authentic version of you

WHO ARE OUR RESIDENTIAL PROGRAMS FOR?
Flow House Residential Programs have been designed for women who are ready to reconnect with themselves, rewrite their story, and find healing through community, self-discovery, and the ocean. Whether you’re navigating trauma, seeking empowerment, or simply craving more joy and balance in life, this is your space to begin again.
Our staff and volunteers have a whole host of qualifications within nursing, social work, yoga, breath work, art therapy and of course surf coaching. So, whilst we aren’t psychotherapists, and won’t step outside of our scope to pretend to be - it is the experience of surfing, sisterhood, education and newfound connection with others with similar lived experiences that form the basis of our surf therapy programs.
If you need extra clinical support, we will help you identify a suitable registered clinician or refer you to suitable local support services within your area to guide you through your clinical therapy journey.
Flow House is for women who:
-
Have experienced trauma and developed anxiety, depression, or PTSD as a result and are ready to explore new ways of healing, growth, and self-understanding outside traditional therapy.
-
Feel disconnected from themselves or others and want to rebuild confidence, improve communication, relationships, and step out of cycles that no longer serve them.
-
Crave connection and community and are seeking a supportive group of women who value honesty, empowerment, and shared healing.
-
Want to embrace womanhood and adventure, whether through learning to surf, exploring creativity, or simply finding freedom and strength in the water.
