What is a respite farm?

Witness to the complexities of the life of a caregiver and the life of a dependent person, Aurélie wanted to make her altruism and her knowledge available to offer an original form of animal mediation which helps people overcome their difficulties.

Through non-judgmental interactions between the animal and the human, animal mediation allows the participant to find relief . This relief contributes to their well-being during a temporary or chronic painful situation. Mediation provides psychological and sometimes physical relief . It is aimed at all audiences with or without disabilities and caregivers looking for a bubble of respite.

The respite farm is also a place where you can simply take the time to learn through educational workshops or walks , regardless of age . Moments for yourself, or for experiences with loved ones that will remain unforgettable memories .

We also offer a "little caregivers" workshop which allows children tocarry out tasks independently under the responsibility of Aurélie. Parents leave their child for 2 hours at the farm to take time for themselves and allow them to flourish in the great outdoors while learning.

It is also a way to rediscover family dialogue on an original activity that the child can congratulate and value themselves for , thus promoting self-esteem for the child and the family bond. This workshop is particularly interesting for children with DYS, ADHD or HPI, but is open to any child wishing to learn with or without problems.

This workshop fits well with the animal-assisted therapy services that are also offered at the respite farm.
