WellVet Therapy Initiative

Supporting Vets to improve their emotional wellbeing and stay healthy for practice

Sarah Munn offers animal and equine assisted treatment (therapy) for vets in the local community. We know vets are a high risk profession for mental ill health, burnout and PTSD so we wanted to help. Vets play an essential part in the world of animal assisted programs so we developed a program just for them.

We welcome any vets living or working on the Mornington Peninsula to connect with us at our farm, Gadara Farm, for therapy. Being on the other side of the animals, where their role is to support the vet for a change, can offer a wonderful opportunity for therapists to provide treatment and psychological strategies. And all the while honouring the 'human animal bond' of sentient beings working together with consent and flow.

Sarah Munn is a registered occupational therapist and mental health counsellor who is trained in providing psychological strategies for people with anxiety, depression, PTSD and neurodivergence.

We can book one off sessions, or EAP's are available for Vet Practices. Please email us for one off sessions.
