Our 1:1 sessions are open to everyone, from children and adults to those with additional needs, and can be booked by families, schools and other organisations. Each session is tailored to the individual, creating a calm and supportive environment where time with the animals can help build confidence, communication, emotional regulation and a sense of connection. There is no expectation to talk or achieve a particular outcome, sometimes simply being alongside an animal and enjoying the peace of the farm is enough.

There is growing scientific evidence that positive interaction with animals can help reduce stress and support emotional wellbeing. Research has found links between animal-assisted activities and reduced anxiety and stress responses, while studies involving children suggest that interaction with animals can influence cortisol, the body's main stress hormone. For people who have experienced trauma, the calm, predictable nature of spending time with animals can provide an opportunity to feel safe, present and grounded.
