Our Story

family therapy counselling animal assisted therapy fredericton

Hi, I’m Arthi!

As the founder of Dancing Goat Therapy Farm in Fredericton, NB, I’m so excited to share my journey with you.

In 2020, during a family vacation in India, the world as we knew it came to a halt. When COVID-19 struck, we found ourselves unexpectedly in lockdown with strangers on a farmhouse. What began as a surreal experience quickly turned into a life-changing one.

We had all the wealth, passive income, and business success that many dream of—but none of it could protect us when the world shut down. We couldn’t even get into a store to buy food. What kept us going were the crops grown right there on the farm by the very people who had welcomed us. Every day, we shared meals and worked together—cooking, gardening, and storytelling. These simple, everyday moments became a lifeline. I realized that, no matter how much we achieve in life, it’s the deep, human connections and shared experiences that truly sustain us in times of crisis.

This experience was a wake-up call. It reminded me that success isn't just about building wealth, but about fostering meaningful connections with nature and others. In February 2021, my family made the bold decision to leave the city behind and embrace a slower, more grounded life. We bought a farm from a retiring couple and moved our family with the intention of teaching our kids life skills that schools couldn't—like growing food, connecting with nature, and building a community where love, compassion, and healing are at the core.

Living on the farm, I began to witness the healing power of animals and nature. The joy, peace, and unconditional love they provided me made it clear that this was something I had to share with others. That’s when Dancing Goat Therapy Farm was born—a place where people struggling with mental health challenges can find support, connection, and healing in the company of animals, nature, and a compassionate community.

I’m proud to say that today, I’m living my dream life—one that I’m deeply passionate about—and I’m here to help others live theirs too.
