animal therapy

Animal therapy, also known as animal-assisted therapy, offers a powerful bridge between healing and connection. 🐾 Whether it’s the calm presence of a therapy dog, the gentle gaze of a horse, or the playful curiosity of a cat, animals have a unique way of soothing the nervous system, reducing anxiety, and fostering emotional openness. Their unconditional presence helps clients feel safe, seen, and accepted—often when words fall short. In the therapeutic space, animals don’t just comfort—they co-regulate, inspire joy, and help us reconnect with the simple, healing rhythm of the present moment. 💛✨
