Flow House was born as a heartfelt blend of all the things that has helped our founder Tammy find love, joy and healing throughout her own journey living with and navigating C-PTSD. After 11 years of multiple modes of therapy, surf therapy is what truely brought her back to life, and she figured if it saved her life then perhaps, it could help other women too.

After being born into a family with a history of significant mental illness and substance abuse which resulted in many adverse childhood experiences. Wanting more in life, Tammy joined the Australian Army at 19yrs old where she enjoyed a 14yr career with operational service within RACT & RAANC before medically discharging in 2024.

These experiences combined with becoming a single mother and the diagnosis of her own C-PTSD is what prompted her to undertake further tertiary study in mental health and neuroscience (ongoing), alongside undertaking surf therapy facilitator training with The Groundswell Institute and the International Surfing Association in conjunction with the International Surf Therapy Organisation.

Secondary to operating Flow House where she specialises in veterans, adolescent women and women with generalised trauma, Tammy also dedicates her time giving back to the community by providing mentorship and positive role-modelling to some of Australia’s most marginalised and vulnerable youth facing crisis every school holidays with Veteran Mentors.

Flow House is where healing meets community. The programs and retreats offer women the chance to find a new tribe, connect, share lived experiences, and rediscover their strength through movement, mindfulness, and the ocean.
