Our mission is to help millions achieve optimal wellbeing and flourish. To realise this vision, we need to reach more people. This is your invitation to join a community of progressive practitioners coming together to reshape the industry.
A world in crisis
Close to a billion people are grappling with various forms of mental illness in a society that continually fosters unhealthy lifestyle choices. It is evident that the behavioural health industry has stagnated.
Our dedication to flow science and the ongoing development of The Resurface Method enables us to push the limits of the industry while providing clients with extraordinary transformative experiences and a deeper sense of belonging.
We use surfing to get clients into ‘Flow’ - which releases the potential to solve problems by 430%* - this has profound effects on group and 1:1 therapy.

Clients experience rapid healing with The Resurface Method:
-
Interoception
Participants discover a path to self-awareness and growth through movement practice and HRV (Hear Rate Variability) training. Guided through trauma-sensitive yoga and biofeedback techniques, they enhance their ability to self-regulate. This practice fosters a deep connection with the body, allowing clients to understand and control involuntary processes like heart rate and muscle tension. By releasing built-up emotions and stress, they gain a sense of control and boost self-esteem, preparing them for the day ahead.
-
Psycho-education
Psychoeducation is a research-backed approach that empowers clients with knowledge and skills for better self-understanding. Our daily interactive workshops build resilience and access flow states by teaching problem-solving and communication tactics in an empathetic environment. Over 30 studies show that psychoeducation improves wellbeing and aids recovery. By integrating education into a holistic experience, participants receive concrete strategies to create positive change, supported by science and reinforced through practice.
-
Flow
Immersing participants in the rhythm of the waves taps into a state of ‘Flow,’ significantly enhancing problem-solving abilities and productivity. This powerful experience supports both group and one-on-one therapy, unlocking their potential for profound personal growth. By engaging in surfing and other flow-inducing activities, participants harness the mental clarity and creativity needed to drive meaningful change, making therapy more effective and transformative.
-
Therapy: Experiential Group & 1:1 EMDR
Participants heal in a supportive community through our experiential group therapy and one-on-one EMDR sessions. Group therapy provides compassionate peer support, fostering deep personal growth and uncovering powerful insights. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy for PTSD, psychological trauma, and other mental health conditions. This approach leads clients toward emotional freedom, enabling them to leave their past behind and embrace a new future.
-
Memory Consolidation & Relaxation
At the end of each enriching day, participants integrate and process their experiences through Non Sleep Deep Rest (NSDR) protocols. This practice aids memory consolidation and promotes deep relaxation, ensuring they end the day with a calm, rejuvenated mind, ready to continue thriving.
How you can help Resurface, yourself, and your clients:
It is not unusual for clients to become stuck or blocked in therapy. This can take the form of evasion, resistance, changes in cognitive patterns and a general malaise or disappointment in the therapeutic process. Resurface offers a chance to give clients a boost or an accelerated change, away from the constraints of their regular life, and inject a new found enthusiasm into their lives. Often what is needed is a more holistic, integrative experience alongside that of 1-2-1 therapy to give a new context of understanding and a more creative approach to life.

Become part of an emerging therapeutic ecosystem
The therapeutic approach at Resurface rests on the notion that we are an indistinct integration of body and mind. Any positive change in a client is determined by looking at, accessing and invigorating both aspects of body and mind. Therefore we integrate evidence-based interventions that foster and develop both the cognitive and the somatic, concurrently expanding the introspective and interoceptive skills of each person attending. There are multiple ways to get involved.
Continuum EMDR
We are actively seeking new practitioners to join Continuum, our personalised support system, connecting clients with leading EMDR practitioners and other evidence-based solutions to propel healing and growth.
Practitioner Events
Join us at a practitioner event to learn more about the method, to meet Josh and to see how you can become more involved.

Our Practitioner Academy is a comprehensive training programme in human psychology, cognition, and mental health. We equip you with the knowledge and practical skills to make more progress and operate at the leading edge of mental health.
All Resurface interventions are evidence-based.
We collaborate with PhDs to conduct peer reviewed research to improve the efficacy of treatment and advance the industry.
Findings show significant decreases in depression and significant decreases in anxiety, with a concurrent, significant increase in change in outlook after attending a residential Resurface programme.
The results relate to a 2018/19 study. The study was repeated three times with consistent results.
