BRING BLUE MIND TO YOUR PRACTICE
Water has a profound effect on the human brain—reducing stress, enhancing well-being, and fostering deep emotional resilience. Now, you can harness this power and become a Certified Blue Mind Facilitator, guiding individuals and communities toward mental and emotional well-being through water-based therapeutic experiences.
The Blue Mind Curriculum Certification Course gives you the science, tools, and practical framework to integrate Blue Mind practices into therapy, coaching, wellness programs, or outdoor experiences.
These modalities work well for sessions in or near the ocean, lakes, streams, pools or even water features, both indoors and outdoors. These exercises can be applied anywhere you can find water.

MASTER POWERFUL HEALING TOOLS
Learn how to lead your clients through water-based therapeutic sessions like the ones Allison leads at Stoked on Life PB. Allison leverages the healing power of the ocean, but you can use these modalities with your clients by lakes, streams, pools — even water features in your office.
You'll learn how to help your clients move through red mind and grey mind states to access blue mind — a state of calm self-awareness that facilitates healing. These techniques work for clients outside of your sessions, giving you a unique and powerful way to help your clients grow.
