Spirited Breeze Care Farm, which will officially open its doors in Elverson on Sept. 1, will offer visitors individual and family therapy outdoors, including sessions with the animals, writes Carol Quaintance for the Daily Local News.

The farm is owned by Kathleen Leonard and her husband, Richard Hohner, both licensed clinical social workers.

According to Leonard, face-to-face interactions can induce anxiety for many people. That is why they have decided to offer an alternative with the non-judgmental dogs, cats, and horses in an outdoor setting.

“The opportunities to engage with nature in a unique and therapeutic way could include a hike in the woods with the horses or dogs, sitting with the sheep, watching the koi while listening to the waterfall, or digging in the dirt in our garden,” the farm’s website said.

The owners have nearly a half-century of clinical experience between them. The farm has seven horses, five sheep, three dogs, seven cats, 35 chickens, and koi fish.
