Nature-Based, Animal-Assisted Therapy

Join us on the farm to progress with your well-being goals through experiential relationships with animals and nature. With the environment and therapist, you may realize your strength, build resilience and gain tools for your other relationships. When you earn an animal's trust, you also gain an understanding that you are worthy of love and belonging.
