Our team
We are just like you.
We are a growing community of adventurers, thought leaders, disruptors, creators, water lovers and water protectors. Our connection with water is the common thread that aligns us, as is a deep desire to become more fluid and less rigid. We believe in softness with structure. A great gift in life is the ability to change forms and to become adaptative. If you are interested in learning how to join the team, or want to discuss collaboration, please reach out and let us know! We would love to hear what you have brewing. The secret to our special soup is you, and we are always evolving our recipe.
We honor the Life & legacy of Dr. Wallace J. Nichol’s for his work on Blue mind theory.
Nick is a therapist and nature-based guide providing Transpersonal Counseling & Gestalt Psychotherapy to his clients. Nick understands there is interconnectedness in everything on this planet and is committed to empowering humans to find wholeness in their lives. His client work is relational centered and based to their present moment experience.
He envisions a future of mental health care happening outside, instead of indoors via offices and clinics. It's his goal to break traditional norms around getting support and release the story we must isolate to heal. Nick makes mental health accessible, digestible, and transformative, even to those who are new to this work or do not have an awareness to make change.
Change is the only constant in life. We either let change happen to us, or with us. These sailing adventures were born when Nick was a sea-exploring mate for the Boy Scouts of America, High Adventure Sea Base over a decade ago. They are designed for us to meet change with ease, grace, and optimism. He quietly resides in Venice Beach with his wolf pup & best friend, Chief.
