Transformative Care
Animal-Assisted Therapy with Animals in Hands (AAT)
Our Mission
At Animals in Hands, we harness the extraordinary power of the human-animal bond to deliver professional Animal-Assisted Therapy (AAT) across the West Midlands and beyond. Under Mo’s mission, we bring joy, comfort, and vital tactile stimulation directly to residents, providing a unique bridge to emotional and physical wellbeing.
Why Choose Animals in Hands?
We follow a strictly person-centered approach, recognizing that every resident has different needs. By offering a diverse mix of both familiar domestic pets and fascinating exotic species, we tap into biophilia—the innate human need to connect with nature.
Our inclusive sessions are a powerful non-pharmacological intervention, proven to significantly enhance the overall Quality of Life (QoL) within care environments.
Reasons to choose us

- Cognitive Engagement: Our “exotic” guests spark curiosity and act as a gateway for reminiscence therapy, helping residents recall fond memories.
