Why Choose Elysian?

As Elysian grew and expanded its reach, the need for comprehensive training in animal-assisted interventions became increasingly evident. While online resources provided valuable theoretical knowledge, there was a clear gap in practical, hands-on learning experiences. This realisation fuelled our determination to create training programs that went beyond traditional methods, offering immersive, experiential learning opportunities for aspiring practitioners.

Expertise and Experience

With years of experience in the field of animal-assisted interventions, our team brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to every training program and consultancy project.

Who is this for?

Learning plans are customised to each participant’s goals, fostering engagement and empowerment, with dedicated trainers offering personalised support to ensure effective and meaningful professional development.
