4Improving Life
6+ yrs (2014 – 2020)
Kona, HI

• Director and developer of a unique retreat approach to therapeutic healing and wellness. The 4Improving Life organization is founded on the belief that self-healing and wellness can be achieved by connecting the emotional and physical self through a transcending experience called Hydro-lumination.
• Hydro-lumination improves upon current, effective mental health and trauma treatment alternatives by focusing on mindfulness, incorporating physical activity, and moving the therapy out of the office and into the ocean.
• This is a self-help, psycho-educational model. The experiences in the ocean allow for emotional re-mapping at a heightened state of arousal with real-life examples and an easy frame of reference for each participant.
