Natures Edge Therapy Center

Nestled amidst the serene beauty of a 65-acre ranch in rural Wisconsin, Nature's Edge Therapy Center offers innovative and holistic therapy programs that harness the power of nature to aid individuals in their recovery and growth. Our team of licensed therapists and animal-assisted experts combine conventional treatment methods with the unique benefits of animal-assisted therapy and therapeutic activities such as hippotherapy, horticulture therapy, and animal-assisted therapy.

A Holistic Approach to Therapy

At Nature's Edge, we take a holistic approach to therapy, recognizing the interconnectedness of physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. We treat individuals of all ages and abilities, ranging from children with autism to older adults with mobility challenges. Our comprehensive treatment plans address functional abilities, communication skills, and emotional regulation.

Therapeutic Services

Our diverse team of therapists offers a wide range of services, including:

• Occupational Therapy: Restore and enhance daily living skills, such as dressing, eating, and grooming.
• Physical Therapy: Improve mobility, balance, and gait.
• Speech Therapy: Improve communication abilities, including speech clarity, articulation, and language processing.

Animal-Assisted Therapy and Hippotherapy

A hallmark of Nature's Edge is our use of animal-assisted therapy and hippotherapy. Our trained therapy animals, including horses, cats, and dogs, provide companionship, emotional support, and physical stimulation to our patients. Hippotherapy, specifically, utilizes the natural movements of horses to facilitate physical rehabilitation and cognitive improvements.

Diane's House: Intensive Treatment for Autism and Related Disorders

For those in need of intensive intervention, we offer the Diane's House program. This intensive outpatient program provides families with a week-long stay on our ranch, where their loved ones with autism or other disabilities can receive personalized therapeutic interventions. The program includes intensive therapy sessions, daily activities, and family support groups.
