Animal Therapies Ltd’s Podcast
Paws for Thought is a podcast about animals changing human lives for the better. Anecdotally we know about the therapeutic powers of animals but the science and research are now validating those beliefs. Animal-assisted services is a recognised field worldwide and through this podcast we hope to educate, entertain and raise awareness among listeners about the countless ways that animals are helping humans.
At Animal Therapies Ltd we would like to acknowledge those that have walked this land before us in all their forms.
We respect the traditional custodians and value their cultural heritage and spiritual connections across all the lands of Australia. These connections are evident in their ceremonies, the natural landmarks, sacred objects embedded in the landscapes, the animals, the waterways and the storytelling.
We sincerely acknowledge and give thanks to our Elders past and present and your Elders past and present for they are the knowledge holders and wise ones that have guided us to where we are today.
