The Healing Brainwaves Team
Director/Founder
Lambidakis suffered a traumatic brain injury during an improvisation class in college in 2011. She took a medical leave and discovered a passion for photography, focusing on capturing big wave surfing at Mavericks. Her work has been published in various publications such as The New York Times, Surfer’s Journal, etc. After witnessing the high volume of professional surfers sustaining brain injuries at Mavericks, Lambidakis created Healing Brainwaves to provide easily accessible information on treatments and prevention.
Certified in the Family Development Method, Lambidakis uses her knowledge of brain healing to assist recipients in their recovery following a brain injury.

A Nod t0 OneHitAway Foundation
OneHitAway, founded by Jill and Darren CdeBaca following their son Brett's concussion during college football practice, was a remarkable organization committed to increasing awareness and generating funds for treating and recovering sports-related brain injuries. Over its eight years of operation, OneHitAway profoundly impacted countless athletes, providing healing and support. Audrey Lambidakis, our director, had the incredible opportunity to work with OneHitAway from 2020 until its closure in 2022.
We remain forever grateful for the invaluable work accomplished by OneHitAway and extend our sincerest appreciation to the CdeBacas for their transformative contributions to sports-related brain injuries.
