As the Director and
founder of Nature’s Edge Therapy Center, Inc. I would like to
personally welcome you to our web site and invite you to take a
closer look into our unique program!
Nature’s Edge Therapy Center, Inc. provides Speech,
Occupational, and Physical Therapy to individuals in a natural
environment, incorporating Hippotherapy, Animal-Assisted
Therapy, and Horticulture Therapy with conventional treatment
methods to attain therapeutic goals. Using these alternative
treatment options allows patients to receive intense therapy in
a highly motivational environment. Our hours of operation are
8:00 am to 5:00 pm Monday - Friday please call to schedule an
appointment.
Our mission at Nature’s Edge is to provide high quality, intense
rehabilitation in a safe and dedicated environment to anyone.
Intensive rehabilitation can be provided by staying at a near by
resort until our retreat is up and running. This rehabilitation
is to empower families to carryover therapy in their own
settings at home, school and/or work.
We are located in Northern Wisconsin on a 65-acre ranch. We are
home to a variety of animals that are utilized in the therapy
programs. Each animal must go through rigorous testing and/or
training to be accepted into our program. The menagerie includes
horses, llamas, goats, a donkey, rabbits, ducks, a cow, a
pot-bellied pig, several cats, three dogs, a chinchilla, two
birds and some fish!
Thank you for taking the time to visit us, and feel free to call
for more information!
Sincerely,
Becky Lundeen MA CCC/SLP
