Safe and supportive ocean experiences for women to grow their connection, confidence and community through the ocean

Meet the Salty Tribe

The Salty Tribe offers outdoor health experiences utilising the incredible powers of the ocean.

We offer safe and supportive ocean experiences for women to grow their connection, confidence and community through the ocean. Where our inner power and adventurous spirit is ignited, where fears are embraced and challenges overcome. A place where women can increase their mental, emotional, physical, and earth wellbeing - all with a supportive community of women by their side.

We do this through ocean events, retreats and personal ocean coaching sessions. Our Women to Water program is live on the Surf Coast in Victoria and our retreats are run around Australia. 

Our three C’s model - connection, confidence & community is designed to help ignite your inner power and place in this world - so you can thrive, and the ocean can can too!

Meet Shannon, your Salty Guide

Hello!

I am the proud founder of The Salty Tribe, where I am passionate about helping women foster a deep connection, boost their confidence, and nurture their care for the underwater world.

With over a decade of experience as a snorkel and dive instructor, educator, and conservationist, people I have guided say I have a knack for creating a safe and comfortable environment for them to explore the ocean.

The ocean (and sharks) have been one of my biggest teachers in life and a totem for my personal growth. Sharks have truly transformed my life. One significant moment occurred when I faced anxiety and a panic attack 30 meters below the ocean's surface. Confronting my own challenges and doubts, I began to embrace and confront my fear.

The ocean has become home for me for rediscover my strength, inner power and self-love that I had forgotten I had. It continues to be a constant for my mental, emotional, physical and earth health.

I am forever grateful to have been coached by the ocean and I am thrilled to help other women be empowered through ocean experiences too.
