POPPY
Inke's Assistant
Meet Poppy – Inke’s Trusty Assistant
Poppy, a lovable 4-year-old Border Collie, is Inke’s loyal companion and enthusiastic assistant at Mindful Pathways. With her gentle and intuitive nature, Poppy accompanies Inke during client sessions, offering comfort and support to those who find solace in the company of animals.
Research has shown that the inclusion of animals in therapeutic settings can enhance emotional well-being, reduce anxiety, and foster a sense of calm. The simple act of interacting with a friendly animal can facilitate openness and connection, enriching the therapeutic experience.
We understand that not everyone may feel comfortable around dogs. If you prefer not to have Poppy present during your sessions, please inform us when scheduling your appointment, and we will gladly accommodate your preferences.
