We hope that visiting us provides you with comfort and joy whenever you need it, and even if you don’t. This is donkey love therapy.
HOW ANIMAL ASSISTED ACTIVITY IS ENHANCING LIVES
We have trained our donkeys as emotional, responsive facilitators. Participants learn how to interact with our miniature donkeys in our purpose-built outdoor paddocks. This unconditional acceptance between human and animal creates feelings of self-value and confidence that allows clients to experience feelings of happiness.
Clients visit our property on the Mornington Peninsula region to experience enhanced wellbeing through interaction with our miniature donkeys. We focus on equality between human and animal, feeling comfortable in the company of each other.
