Animal-Assisted Therapy
Animals have long been heralded as healers as well as calm, gentle supporters of humans. For over 30 years, Straja has instilled this feature into her various therapies. Her professional and certified animal companions have learned how cater to a client's emotional and energetic needs during a clinical therapy session providing comfort, guidance and trust in the process of healing through affection, unconditional love nd non-verbal comfort. Currently, Straja works with Tala Rain, a gentle Shiloh Shephard who hails from a long line of canine healers, including Tumbra (the remarkable therapy dog who learned how to read!). Togo Pogo (a calm and adorable pug) is working hard to gain his animal-assistance certifications, and friendly Tadpole (a trained/working therapy cat) provides a calm approach to making clients feel welcome and adored. Contact Straja to discuss how Animal-Assisted Therapy can help you or if you have any allergy or sensitivity concerns. |
