In this episode, Prue Jeffries shares her pro surfing career with us and how water & nature support life, our health, and our well-being.

Prue Jeffries of Body of Wonder and Surf the Flow is a Craniosacral Teacher and Therapist, Continuum Teacher, Certified Massage Therapist, Registered Somatic Movement Educator, and founder of Vital Dynamics®.

Prue has always been a water person and explorer. She is a pioneer of women's surfing with 15 years on the ASP World Championship Tour, now known as WSL, co-founded a women's clothing line, was a writer and editorial consultant, and is now an avid nature photographer. She is also Creative Director for Watermark Arts, a somatic informed artistic endeavor.

Water, waveforms, and movement have been her life. Surfing is a spiritual, natural, and artistic endeavor that informs her deeply. She weaves experiential learning from nature and her body with the study of well-being, spiritual and somatic approaches for wholeness.

Right now, her focus is on the embodied knowing of ourselves as water and as nature—how that translates into the water being not only a metaphor but a conveyer for interconnection—shifting people's capacity to be more humane towards life and nature and protect and regenerate our planet.
