💙 Why We're Celebrating
Since 2011, Healing Wave Aquatics has created opportunities for individuals navigating trauma to experience healing through trauma-informed aquatic therapy, connection, and community.
In 2025 alone, 90% of clients who completed the program experienced a measurable decrease in PTSD symptoms, and HWA provided 886 trauma-informed aquatic therapy sessions.
But this anniversary is about more than numbers.
It's about the participants, families, practitioners, volunteers, community partners, donors, and supporters who have shaped Healing Wave Aquatics over the past 15 years.
On September 27, we're bringing that community together to celebrate where we've been—and look forward to what's ahead.
We can't wait to celebrate 15 Years of Healing Together with you!
