It is well documented that being with animals can reduce blood pressure, lower pulse rates and alleviate feelings of tension and anxiety. Alpaca therapy sessions are a great way to de-stress, as alpacas are intelligent and inquisitive, but unlike humans they are non-judgemental.

Alpaca therapy is suitable for Autism, ADHD and Asperger’s conditions. We have also seen great benefits when applied to those with behavioural, learning, social or communication difficulties.

We specialise in helping children who won’t engage, show little interest or can be disruptive in mainstream educational setting.

Sarah is a horse confidence recommended coach and she has adapted this for the therapy sessions with the alpacas, to produce therapeutic benefits for our clients and improve their quality of life through contact with these wonderful animals.

We tailor sessions to your needs and provide these to private individuals, schools and organisations.

The Benefits

Where people are suffering from depression, research indicates alpacas have the potential to draw the person out of themselves, either by watching, stroking or speaking to the animals. Which takes focus away from themselves and shifts it to their external environment. This helps people who are feeling depressed or overwhelmed, reducing anxiety and stress by being around the alpacas.

We have found the following profound benefits in people whilst working with alpacas:

• Improved mood and outlook
• Greatly increased confidence and self-esteem
• Increased empathy
• Reduction in anger issues
• Gaining trust
