Kedren Ferrero

Behavioral Activation Surf Coach

Hailing from the beautiful coastal state of Florida, I've always felt an undeniable
connection to the ocean. It's where I find my sanctuary, a place of peace and solace. My journey through life has been nothing short of a rollercoaster ride, taking me from the exhilarating world of competitive surfing to the depths of addiction in my twenties.

In the pivotal year of 2021, I made a life-altering decision to change my trajectory, to turn away from the destructive path I was on, and embrace the path of recovery. It wasn't just a personal transformation; it was a calling to help others who might be trapped in the
same struggle with drugs and alcohol. I consider it both a privilege and a gift to share my experiences and testimony, proving that recovery is not only possible but transformative.

One of the remarkable aspects of my journey is how the healing power of the ocean played a pivotal role in my recovery. As I stand beside others on their path to healing, I am passionate about showing them the remarkable solace and renewal that the ocean
has brought to my own life.

In addition to my commitment to recovery and helping others, I'm on a personal
academic journey. I'm registered to attend Eastern Florida State College in the spring of 2024, to work on completing my Associate’s degree. This pursuit of knowledge and personal growth is a testament to the incredible transformation that's possible with a clear, sober mind.

And, speaking of transformation, I've reignited my competitive spirit, once again competitively surfing. With the strength that comes from a higher power and the unwavering support of others, I've proven that the sky's the limit.

I am living proof that recovery is not just a concept; it's a reality, and I'm here to support and inspire anyone ready to embark on their own journey of healing and self-discovery.
