Ash is neurodivergent as well, so we discuss how her reptiles are therapeutic for her and for others she's worked with.

Snake Therapy is dedicated to education about snakes and their ability to have profound impacts on our mental and emotional well-being. Combining passion for snakes with discussions about the human condition and animal welfare, our mission is to remove the fear and stigmas associated with snakes and replace them with empathy and wonder, as well as to increase knowledge about animal husbandry for those who keep them as pets.
