Animal & Nature Therapy

FEARLESS
FARMHOUSE

“Since I was young I have always had a passion for helping people and a love for all animals, I grew up in the country and am a country girl at heart and I love being outside in nature and with animals. It is good for the soul.”

– Hope Fitzgerald

What made you decide to operate your business here?

“It has been a dream after living on the Surf Coast half of my life to be on some land here and open a place like Fearless Farm House. It was fate meeting my partner in 2019. Not long after he had secured the property everything fell into place for the both of us. I feel so grateful to be living and running our business here. We have the country lifestyle right near the ocean.” “There is a huge need in our area for more services like Fearless Farm House to provide ‘an outside of the box’ with traditional therapies and support to those that have special needs or mental health issues. I went through a few tough years trying to find places for my daughter to teach her independence, social skills and build on her emotional well-being. We are still on waiting lists for anything mental health related.”

What are the advantages of doing business on the Surf Coast?

“Being here is the perfect environment to provide support to our participants of Fearless Farm House. It’s all about being outdoors – the animals and being amongst nature with a bit of hard work to heal, develop new skills, build resilience and emotional well-being. It is also an advantage being close enough for people to access from Greater Geelong region.”

Tell me one thing that might surprise people about your business:

Most of our animals are rescue animals or orphans 🙂

What is your most popular product?

“Animal assisted therapy and learning sessions are hands on engagement with animals on the farm. Learning how to care for them, engage with them building trust and self-confidence. It gives our participants a sense of responsibility, feeling connected to the animals and people. It is through the animals that creates a sense of self-worth.”
