I think complimentary therapeutic approaches and social prescribing are two of the big areas we can utilise for health and wellbeing outcomes. Not everyone needs to follow the medical model and training to offer effective interventions. What we need to support them to do is to use evidence to support them in a professional manner so they get into the position to complement medicine and western modern approaches to therapy. And allied health therapy professionals can help with this (we have already done it in our own professions) and could be a good place to start with integrative therapy. I don’t believe it’s all or nothing. I believe it’s all about an eclectic approach to integrative health. Modern medicine and ancient healing together with support of community is the key I’m sure.

I am taking bookings for face to face Reiki based sessions which integrate decades of mental health support in OT and animal assisted therapy to support your transformation and change.

Hosted at gadara_farm in peaceful, healing spaces with the gentle support of animals and environmental enrichment of nature many people feel powerful shifts or opportunities for self-healing.

I don’t know where to start in how you can work with lambs. These twins are a black male and white female. So much to talk about, so many metaphors.

People just want to sit around the lambing paddock and feel good. It is opening so many of our kids up to talking and being patient. Incredible sense of calm and safety and watching how the different mums behave - easy to see attachment.

I can provide mental health services through this initiative with Barefoot Therapists at Gadara Farm if any local vet workers want to apply.

Do you know someone who works in the veterinarian health sector that needs mental health support?

Elanco Animal Health has again partnered with Animal Therapies Ltd to provide animal-assisted mental health services for veterinary workers to support the ongoing mental health challenges faced by the industry.

If you or someone you know in the veterinary health sector could benefit through this initiative, we encourage you to apply via the link below:

Blessed to spend a few days in WA learning the art and science of Hippotherapy with the amazing Pippa Hodge all the way from Canada, and of course Sally Francis from up the road in tooradin_estate Great to spend time at Riding For The Disabled Association Australia South West Centre. Thanks for looking after us all.

Great hippotherapy group of physios and OT’s. A bit nostalgic to get my old neurodevelopmental therapy hat on for this treatment approach.

EXCITED!! Waiting for a flight to Perth. Something I have waited a long time to do - hippotherapy training. And I am heading all the way over to WA and rdaasouthwest. There is a long story here because this was training I looked for over a decade ago and couldn’t find a course I fancied. Plus they were all interstate. Still interstate in 2025, but now my kids are older and life is easier to leave for a few days of PD. I am so grateful for my work, and that it enables me to do really cool s**t like fly around playing with horses and meeting great folk. I had a sneaky peak at the attendee list and there are a few names I know. Even a couple of OT’s I trained in equine assisted occupational therapy. So all this makes me very excited. And while we have run a mounted program for many years at barefoottherapists and gadara_farm there is nothing like looking into an evidence based practice that has been around since the 1960’s. And actually was an ancient healing going back to Hippocrates who recommended it. Who knew?

I’m so onto something with this blend of ancient wisdom and modern evidence based practice. And finding that both are often true and are not as mutually exclusive as we have been led to believe. Better get to my gate fellow equine therapists.
