Animal-assisted therapy

All animal-assisted therapy sessions are by appointment only, booked by phone. For healthcare facilities or other support services, we will review your project and provide you with a quote.

When we talk about animal-assisted therapy with those familiar with this therapeutic approach, we often think of disability.

Yes, it is true that animal-assisted therapy has become a genuine therapeutic tool acclaimed by many scientists, doctors and media outlets.

But animal-assisted therapy can also be a moment of simple pleasure .

Who among us doesn't need pleasure?

We all go through difficult times in our lives: grief, separation, loss, illness, an accident, an assault, depression, isolation, conflicts, anxieties, caring for a dependent person...

These periods in life are not easy, and sometimes we tend to minimize the impact of these crises on our lives . The reasons are varied: We want to protect others from our low points, we want to put the distress of others before our own, we don't feel that entitled to take care of ourselves...

However, to protect others, and to support them well, it is important to remember to take care of yourself and to give yourself a break .

Animal-assisted therapy is a tool that can prove very powerful; without judgment, the animal naturally probes your emotions and often provokes an opening to the introspection necessary for the release of emotions and breathing.

It has been proven to bring about significant improvements in adaptive behaviors, a reduction in stress, and the development of affiliative skills among beneficiaries.

At the Lama Émoi respite farm , we support caregivers and individuals with or without disabilities in their journey towards well-being . Whether your need is temporary or long-term, we invite you to discuss it with Aurélie so we can assess the project together.

Aurélie is also involved in the fight against incest and sexual violence.

Animal-assisted therapy helps to educate our children about consent in order to protect them from an early age from adult or child sexual violence.

Learning to say no is a fundamental educational concept to protect oneself as much as possible from aggressors.

Using animals to understand the rules of consent is an essential workshop for our children.

If you are interested in this type of workshop, please call Aurélie to schedule a date and a dedicated animal-assisted therapy session: 06.74.52.69.76

If you feel your child is in danger, contact 119 .
