Located in Upper Hermitage, South Australia, The Mindful Paddock offers a unique, neuro-affirming therapeutic space where the calming presence of nature and animals helps create a supportive environment for healing and growth. Ange, the owner of The Mindful Paddock, is an ADHD’er, a registered social worker, play therapist, and a proud mum of three incredible neuro-divergent kids. With her personal and professional experience, Ange is passionate about offering compassionate, individualised support to children, adults, and families. Our animals—mini horses, goats, sheep, alpacas, chickens, rabbits, dogs, and a cat—are all part of the experience, offering companionship, comfort, and a gentle presence during your sessions. Whether you’re looking for therapeutic or spiritual guidance, a safe space to grow, or simply a relaxing environment to connect with nature and animals, we’re here to support you.
