Experience Wellness Through Psychotherapy, Goat Yoga & Lunch with Llamas

Our Story: Journey of Healing Through Nature, Animals & Connection

A family therapy session at Dancing Goat Therapy Farm in Fredericton, NB, where connection, healing, and nature come together

Hi, I’m Arthi!

I never imagined that my healing journey would lead me here—to a farm filled with llamas, goats, and a deep sense of peace. But before I found this life, I walked through grief, loss, and a search for belonging.

A Childhood Marked by Loss

At just five years old, I lost my mother. The kind of pain that leaves a void no child can understand. By my teenage years, that grief turned into isolation and suicidal thoughts.

I longed for a fresh start, and I thought moving from India to North America would help. But instead, I felt more lost. I faced relationship struggles, the heartbreak of losing a baby, and the weight of trying to find my place in the world.

Healing Through Therapy, Animals & Nature

True healing didn’t come from silence. It came from therapy, movement, animals, and a community that saw me.

I found that healing wasn’t just about talking—it was about experiencing. Walking through pastures, feeling the energy of animals, and reconnecting with myself. Llamas and goats don’t judge. They don’t ask you to explain your pain. They just sit with you, offering presence and peace.

That’s why I created Dancing Goat Therapy Farm—a place where healing happens through psychotherapy, animal-assisted therapy, and immersive wellness experiences.

Experience Wellness Through Therapy & Unique Farm Activities

Here, we blend therapy with adventure, healing with joy:

✅ Psychotherapy & Animal-Assisted Therapy – Work through emotional challenges with the support of nature and animals.

✅ Goat Yoga – Release stress and reconnect with your body in a fun, therapeutic way.

✅ Lunch with Llamas – Enjoy mindful dining surrounded by nature and gentle animals.

✅ Wellness Retreats & Adventure Therapy – Heal through movement, meditation, and outdoor experiences.

✅ A Supportive Community – Because healing isn’t meant to be a solo journey.

From My Healing to Yours

I know what it’s like to feel lost. But I also know that healing is possible.

I created this farm so others wouldn’t have to walk their healing journey alone. Here, you are seen, supported, and reminded that joy and peace are within reach.

Come as you are. Leave feeling grounded.

  • Inner Child Healing Retreat July 31st- Aug 2nd

    Many of the struggles we experience in adulthood begin much earlier in life.

    Childhood experiences shape our nervous system, attachment patterns, and the way we show up in relationships. Emotional triggers, fear of abandonment, people pleasing, difficulty trusting, or repeating patterns in partnerships often have roots in early experiences.

    This retreat offers a compassionate space to reconnect with your inner child and begin releasing these patterns.

    Through therapeutic guidance, somatic practices, and reflective exercises, participants will explore ways to regulate the nervous system and create healthier ways of relating to themselves and others.

    Inner child healing can help address

    • emotional triggers in relationships

    • fear of abandonment or rejection

    • people pleasing and difficulty with boundaries

    • difficulty trusting others

    • anxiety and emotional overwhelm

    • patterns affecting marriages and partnerships

    When these parts of ourselves are acknowledged and supported, we begin responding from the present rather than reacting from the past.

    Healing the inner child creates space for healthier relationships, greater emotional resilience, and deeper self understanding.

    What You Will Experience

    During this weekend retreat participants will explore

    • inner child healing practices

    • somatic exercises for nervous system regulation

    • understanding how childhood wounds shape adult relationships

    • releasing emotional patterns and energetic entanglements

    • guided journaling and reflection

    Participants receive an Inner Child Journal and a recorded Inner Child Meditation to continue the work after the retreat.

    This retreat is informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS), an evidence based therapeutic approach.

    Nature Based Healing

    The retreat takes place in a peaceful farm setting where nature supports emotional regulation and reflection. Participants will have time to walk the land, connect with animals, and integrate the therapeutic work.

    Retreat Schedule

    Friday 6 pm arrival and tent setup followed by welcome circle

    Saturday 9 am healing sessions begin

    Sunday 3 pm closing circle

    Camping Retreat Experience

    This is a camping style retreat to deepen connection with nature. Participants are asked to bring their own camping gear. Limited cabin accommodation may be available on a first come basis.

    Retreat Investment

    $580 per participant

    Includes full weekend retreat program, camping on the farm, inner child journal, recorded meditation, all therapeutic sessions and somatic practices, Saturday and Sunday breakfast and lunch plus Saturday dinner.
