Immerse yourself in a 3-month certification to reenergize your career and personal growth through practical ocean healing techniques, blue mind theory, and a sustainable business plan
2025 Dates Coming Soon
Have you ever noticed feeling more at peace
when near the water?
The allure of the ocean is universal. And the feeling of relaxation and rejuvenation it offers is real – supported by years of scientific studies, spiritual beliefs, and lived experiences.
Just like the waves that shape the shoreline, the ocean has the power to reshape your life.
By embracing its ebbs and flows, you’ll discover boundless connections and a renewed sense of fulfillment in your professional career and personal life.
This calmness is blue mind theory at work.
Blue Mind is the calm, meditative state where we feel fully connected to our mind, body, and soul. Surrounding yourself with nature, especially water, helps you reach this place of optimal well-being more easily.
Discover a new way to connect with yourself, clients, and nature
Whether you love surfing, exploring tide pools, or dreaming of your next beach vacation, you know the ocean offers immense mental, physical, and spiritual benefits. Yet, you’re stuck on how to weave the ocean’s power into your therapeutic practice or daily rituals.

I hold the truth that ‘nature heals’’ dear to my heart, but it was hard to explain exactly what was taking place. In OHTP, we learned to create sessions with blue mind practices, meditations, and healing modalities. The structure made it easy for me to understand and integrate while guidance from Sophie and her team helped me become more aligned with my gifts and offerings. This program inspired me to start my own business and gave me the courage to believe in myself.

As a therapist deeply connected to the healing power of the ocean, understanding the science behind this phenomenon equipped me with the knowledge to incorporate it into my practice. OHTP deepened my appreciation of the ocean and gave me the scientific insights necessary to harness its therapeutic potential. I am grateful for this eye-opening experience that will undoubtedly enhance my ability to guide others on their healing journeys.

Meet Sophie – your guide to ocean therapy
I’ve lived the transformation I teach to clients and other professionals.
My path to ocean therapy began when I experienced professional burnout as a licensed clinical social worker. The typical clinical setting no longer seemed as effective for my clients or myself.
That’s when I turned to the ocean.
Initially, the ocean was my personal refuge. But I soon realized its therapeutic potential for others on their healing journey and practitioners seeking a more fulfilling business model.
OHTP is born from what I've learned about therapy, blue mind, and business leadership throughout my career.
With a Master's in Clinical Social Work from USC, a LEAD Certificate from Stanford Graduate School of Business, and my hands-on experience founding Waves of Recovery, I’ve created a program to help you build a sustainable business that harnesses the ocean’s power.
A special message from OHTP founder, Sophie Pyne
Tap into the power of the ocean to facilitate deep transformation and healing.
The ocean is our conscious connection to the heart of our being and the entire world around us.

Read what other OHTP students experienced
I have awakened to the realization that "anything is possible". I now live with a stronger connection to the ocean which has created a positive and optimistic mindset. I have adopted new habits and rituals that have helped me overcome personal challenges. I have gained self awareness and insight. I now understand that while it's important to be radically responsible, it's also just as important to be radically unique, and radically optimistic. I have leaned to live with more flow and in gratitude.
Lauralee
OHTP has magnified and augmented my love for water, nature, and its existence in our lives. I congratulate and comment Sophie Pyne and the OHTP support team, speakers, and those involved in this program experience. It is truly impressive and valuable at how this is structured and organized! For the first cohort, it has been only a fun and worthwhile undertaking. Blessings to all!!
Alison
I love working with Sophie and participating in the OHTP program as it really helped me take my nonprofit surf therapy organization to the next level. I was in need of business and marketing assistance as well as additional ocean therapy cirriculum and support, which OHTP provided. Sophie was amazing creating a social network in our group and activities to keep us actively engaged. I would highly recommend this program to anyone who is interested in Ocean or Surf therapy.
