Robyn Byrne, Paediatric Occupational Therapist

The Salty Tribe has been such a wonderful group to be a part of. I’m so glad I answered the call to join a group of women as passionate about the ocean as I am. Shannon, Consu and the salty tribe team have created such a welcoming group in which to enjoy the ocean and build confidence to make it a bigger part of one’s life. Attention to creating a safe space and the thoughtfulness given to the details of the ocean events is very evident. Thank you for this wonderful community that you are building.
