Kanimbla Farm is a 120-acre property with two creeks and many rolling hills with gum trees.
There are plenty of quaint spots to explore. My favourites are near the stream below our cottage, under the largest gum tree dominating the property and the gentle loop track following the one the creeks.
We have cattle on the property that roam on the large paddocks with Buddy, the friendly steer, as their leader.
Our other permanent residents are donkeys Luciano and Giuseppe; goats Nadi and Miguel; Icelandic Horses Gledi and Primus (coming soon); and Soxy, the smiling dog.

What does a session look like?
Before your first session, you will receive an intake pack and will be asked for some personal information, your goals, and to give consent and agree to our terms of service.
On arrival, you will have a check-in chat to allow you to 'land' at the start of our session.
You will then be invited to practice calming exercises to slow down and regulate your nervous system.
After a safety briefing, you will spend time noticing, experimenting and exploring in nature and/or with animals. It can take different forms depending on each individual and their unique goals. A session can be guided actively by your practitioner or more client-led.
During a session, you might take a walk with animals, groom, lead animals or simply observe. Each session is unique and evolving based on the client's needs.
.After this experiential part of the session, the client spends time processing what nature and the animals have taught them and how it can apply to their life.
