Watch to learn proper techniques for handling snakes, while reflecting on the therapeutic aspect of building trust and establishing a bond with these magnificent creatures. Together we explore snake behavior, body language, and communication methods, and ways we can communicate with THEM. Understanding these things can enhance our own sense of trust and security, and allows us to gain insight into their perspectives- deepening the connection between human and reptile, increasing our capacity for empathy, as well as influencing our own interpersonal relationships.

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.
