The Wellness Surf & Skate Podcast
Welcome to The Wellness Surf and Skate Podcast — where therapy meets the tide, pavement meets healing, and wellness flows through movement.
Hosted by Albert Balderas, a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Surf Therapy Facilitator, this podcast explores the intersection of mental health, nature-based healing, and board sports like surfing and skateboarding. Each episode dives into topics like surf and skate therapy, somatic practices, emotional alchemy, community healing, and the power of play.
Whether you’re a therapist, a skater, a surfer, or a soul seeking connection, you’ll find stories, strategies, and soulful insights to help you move through life with more presence, resilience, and stoke.
Healing doesn’t have to happen in stillness. Sometimes, it happens in motion.
