Hi, I’m DaNNI – a Surf Confidence Coach and Psychotherapist based in Newquay, Cornwall.

Inspired by my work as a Surf Coach and experience as a Transpersonal Psychotherapist, I’ve been working on solutions to help surfers feel more confident in the water and experience more joy during their surf sessions.

I run Surf Confidence Workshops and offer Surf Confidence Coaching to help with barriers, blockers, scary incident recovery and much more.

I also have an online and in person Psychotherapy private practice and run a range of well-being workshops.

Experience & Training

After a career in creative project management for brands like Beats by Dre and Peloton, I decided to pursue my passion for human behaviour and retrain in psychotherapy in 2018. Alongside this, I’m also a qualified yoga teacher, personal trainer, and surf coach bringing a holistic approach to my work.

HEALING
APPROACH

My work is grounded in compassion, connection, and a deep respect for the human experience. I take a holistic approach, supporting people to reconnect with themselves, build confidence, and develop tools that bring more ease, both in life and in the surf.

Sharing
my work

I love creating spaces to connect and inspire beyond one-to-one work. I’ve written & spoken for publications such as SurfGirl Magazine & the Boardwomen podcast, as well as surf confidence sessions with retreats and surf brands like Surf Sistas and Sundaze Surf.

Please know, you are not alone. I’m here to guide you towards a happier, more fulfilling life.

I understand that life can be challenging, and sometimes we need a little extra support to navigate the waves. That’s why I offer personalised therapy and coaching programs designed to help you.
