About Us
Dear Friends,
The story of Walk on Water is such an amazing blessing! I want to share with you how we were founded and how much you mean to us. I was brought up in retail. My Dad worked hard to fulfill his dream of opening his own business and being
an entrepreneur. I was blessed to graduate from UCF where I met my amazing husband Rick. Together with my parents and brother... we were blessed to have a Surf Shop Chain called Good Vibrations and grew them to 15 locations. These were the first Surf Shops in the malls. After 17 years of amazing success, we sold to Pacific Sunwear a National Chain.
At that time, God blessed my husband Rick and I with the gift of gifts when our son Branson Joshua was born in 1998. When Branson was in first grade... God continued to work in my heart to consider using the gifts he had given me to open a boutique that would make a difference in the community through the relationships we had in our community. We opened Walk on Water in Lake Mary in 2004.
We dedicated Walk on Water to the Lord and placed scriptures on the foundation of the floor and asked the Lord to bless our endeavors. It has been an amazing journey and we were able to open our second location in Winter Park in 2007. (Closed Winter Park in 2019 to focus on our ONLINE presence and the ever changing retail environment) My team of 20 God's Girls who work with me at Walk on Water are representative of the stores mission and purpose and we would never achieve the success we have today without them. My right arm Kathy Hammerling has worked with me at Good Vibrations and at Walk on Water for over 22 years.

Walk on Water has been able to support numerous community outreach efforts, families in need, children in need, specific, organizations like Sanford Crisis Center, Bags of Hope, Orlando Rescue Mission, St. Jude Children's Hospital, M.D. Anderson Women Playing for T.I.M.E., PanCan Network, Toys for Tots and many other Outreach Efforts.
In September of 2009 God stirred my heart to do an annual Outreach effort for a big need right here in our community. The Annual Friends Helping Friends 5K for Safehouse of Seminole is now a 11 year annual event raising over $41,000 and having 900 plus participate in 2019. Safehouse of Seminole is a non-profit organization dedicated to seeing an end to the cycle of domestic violence. SafeHouse reaches out to the community to provide a coordinated response to prevent the epidemic of domestic violence.
This year our event has been canceled due to COVID-19. Walk on Water is much more than a boutique that sells sophisticated and trendy clothing, shoes, jewelry, gifts and accessories... We are founded on Christian Principles. Our purpose and mission statements are as follows: The purpose of Walk on Water is to glorify God by being a faithful steward of all that is entrusted to us. To have a positive influence on all who come in contact with us.
