OUR MISSION
To make therapy accessible in a way that is natural, fun, and simply non-traditional. Our mission is to use all of the natural energy, trails, animals, and movement to offer a service that is individualized and tailored to each person’s needs.
We use 10 acres of land on a farm we revived to give hope toward the pursuit of happiness and wholeness. Growth does not happen in an office; it happens while gardening, trimming hooves, picking eggs, shearing sheep, and chopping wood. We use the land to help you stretch your eyes. Maybe your search is around coping skills or developing interior athletics or just getting active again. Whatever it may be, we will support and guide you in finding wellness.
