It All Begins With An Idea

Why did I create Hang-Ten Therapeutics?

Hang-Ten Therapeutics was inspired by my journey, rooted in my own experience as a child who attended occupational therapy for sensory integration. I am passionate about supporting each child as they overcome challenges and develop a strong sense of self. It is with this background, and my deep love for the ocean, that has transformed into a heartfelt mission to help children. Using surf therapy as tool has proven to be a powerful and uplifting approach for kids facing sensory integration challenges, motor delays, and those in need of support with physical and emotional regulation.

In a world that may feel constantly challenging, I strive to create a safe haven at Hang-Ten, where children can thrive. Here, they have the chance to engage with the water, surfboard, and sand, experiencing success in an environment tailored to their unique sensory-motor, physical, and emotional needs. If is a joyful space for free play, where they can be silly and carefree. My mission is to empower children, helping them build confidence, and belonging, all while acquiring essential skills. My hope is that children do not feel the need to perform, allowing them to embrace their true selves.
