Hammocks on the Edisto emphasizes the importance of exploring nature, relaxation, and self-reflection as integral components of the healing process.
In a harmonious collaboration, Hammocks on the Edisto has partnered with Waves 4 Women, an innovative organization based in Charleston, South Carolina, that uses ocean and surf therapy to empower women and girls socially, emotionally, and physically. Waves 4 Women’s mission aligns seamlessly with Hammocks’s values and therapeutic approaches on the Edisto, creating a unique and powerful synergy aimed at holistic recovery and empowerment.
The Healing Power of Nature and Community
Both Hammocks on the Edisto and Waves 4 Women recognize the profound healing power of nature. Hammocks on the Edisto integrates natural exploration into its treatment programs, encouraging women to reconnect with the serene beauty of their surroundings. This connection to nature fosters relaxation, self-reflection, and a deeper sense of peace, which are essential for recovery.
Waves 4 Women takes this connection a step further by harnessing the dynamic energy of the ocean. Their surf and wellness programs offer a platform for mindfulness and community engagement. Surfing, with its unique blend of challenge and exhilaration, provides a therapeutic experience that encourages women to be present, face their fears, and embrace the joy of accomplishment. The ocean becomes a metaphor for life’s waves, teaching resilience and the power of riding through difficult times.
How Hammocks Can Help
Comprehensive Therapeutic Approaches
Hammocks on the Edisto’s comprehensive range of therapies is designed to address the multifaceted nature of addiction and trauma. Techniques such as EMDR and trauma therapy help women process and heal from past wounds, while DBT and CBT offer strategies for managing emotions and changing harmful thought patterns. Motivational therapy and various recovery programs provide the tools and support necessary for sustained sobriety.
Waves 4 Women complements these therapies with their ocean and surf therapy programs. The physical activity of surfing enhances overall wellness, promoting cardiovascular health, strength, and flexibility. Equally important are the emotional and social benefits. Participants often experience a boost in self-esteem and confidence as they master the waves, alongside the joy of shared experiences and the formation of supportive friendships.
Empowerment Through Connection
Central to the missions of both Hammocks on the Edisto and Waves 4 Women is the belief that women thrive in supportive communities. Addiction and trauma can often lead to isolation, making the journey to recovery even more challenging. Hammocks on the Edisto fosters a nurturing environment where women support each other through their healing journeys, creating a sisterhood of strength and resilience.
Waves 4 Women extends this sense of community to the ocean, where women of all backgrounds come together to support and uplift one another. Their programs are inclusive, LGBTQ+ friendly, and dedicated to supporting underrepresented groups, including the local Gullah community. By fostering connections both within and beyond the surf, Waves 4 Women ensures that participants feel valued, understood, and empowered.

Together, these organizations are creating a comprehensive approach to recovery that addresses the mind, body, and spirit.
One of the most significant outcomes of this partnership is the formation of lasting friendships and support networks. Women who go through these programs often form bonds that extend beyond their time in treatment, providing ongoing support and encouragement. These connections are vital for long-term recovery and personal growth, offering a sense of belonging and community that is essential for sustained wellness.
Waves 4 Women’s commitment to inclusivity and representation enriches the partnership with Hammocks on the Edisto.
