@ram_scorchskateschool - skate coach who credits skateboarding for giving her mental space
@fortyandpushing - jacquie is a skater who took it up later in life & believes the sensory side helps regulate our systems
@lisabaxter_ part of the leadership of @theboardmumsclub and has used skateboarding to navigate life working in trauma and safeguarding, as well as dealing with family illness
@India from @resurfaceuk - psychologist who runs surf retreats that combine surfing + therapy
@surfconfidencecoach Danni who helps surfers find their joy
