Animal-assisted
recreational activities

Outside of therapeutic work, I offer the opportunity to have fun and discover animals through supervised games and activities.

Why combine my services with animal therapy?

Dogs are known to be soothing and caring animals, but that's not all…

The dog is a catalyst because it makes it possible to have concrete, interesting, and fun objectives, while at the same time providing instant feedback. Your desire to take up challenges will be increased by the pleasure you'll build and share together.

Rabbits are more delicate, but may surprise you with their energy. For people afraid of dogs, they are wonderful partners. Their soft fur will melt your heart!

Animals help me give you clear and positive feedback of your evolution through concrete, functional exercises, without you even feeling like you're “working”.

In short, they'll help you move forward!

My partners

Koda, my dog. He's small and bubbly. He has an intensity in his eyes that makes you want to move mountains. He'll always try his best to do what you ask of him, and the happier you are, the happier he'll be. Depending on your energy and your need of the day, he can be lively and playful or cuddly and calm. All he wants to do is show you what you can do and watch you grow alongside him.

Boo, my rabbit. She's curious, bold, full of energy and, above all, the sweetest rabbit you've ever seen! She loves human contact and playing. She's very intelligent and loves playing games we invent for her. She'll be an ideal partner for you to have fun with.
