What's up, dog?
Kilifi works as a therapy companion in hawkes bay. She spends her days supporting clients on their therapeutic journey. Kilifi greets clients with a beaming smile and waggy tail as they walk up the path to office. Once in the room she helps them to feel safe and connected and gives them unconditional positive regard. She knows when to snuggle in for a cuddle, be a healthy distraction to help them regulate, or stay out the way when they need to focus. She helps remove the fear of coming to therapy, making it a place people want to be to help them heal so they can thrive. She wears glasses
