Surf Psychology is the understanding of how the mind works in relation to all aspects that impact surf performance. It is also the understanding and know-how to work with individuals and groups to help them navigate these aspects. This includes coaching and therapy around emotion regulation, trauma responses and behavioral patterns, psycho social aspects, and personal traits such as self esteem, confidence etc. If adding any of these aspects to your retreat is of interest please don’t hesitat to reach ot.

About me
I am Lisa Davidsson a psychologist, a hypnotherapist and an avid surfer from Sweden with nearly two decades of experience in the field of psychology and mental health.
While I discovered surfing rather late in life, it has since, seeped into almost every aspect of it. In 2016 I relocated to Bali and gradually redirected my therapy work towards working with surfers. I am now based between Portugal in Europe and Bali, Indonesia.
In essence, what I do helps surfers catch more waves and to overcome mental barriers hindering their progress to the next level. Weather it is through getting over surf and water related fears, healing previous trauma, or working through mindset related obstacles.
Surfing, being a high-stakes sport, not only poses physical challenges but also mental and emotional ones. As you reach a certain level in your surf you will be faced with internal challenges. I help surfers identify the root cause of those challenges and help them work through it.
