"In 2021, Amanda and I, Nahiomy, both police officers, were diagnosed with PTSD after experiencing countless horrific situations on duty. Despite months of therapy, we found ourselves seeking additional support beyond our weekly therapy sessions. It is then that we decided to welcome seven dogs and a horse into our lives. The emotional healing these animals brought us individually was profound and to this day difficult to articulate. They became our anchors, aiding us immensely in our PTSD recovery journey.

​

The profound impact of being surrounded by animals is indescribable; it resonated deeply within our souls. Moved by this transformative experience, we felt compelled to share it with others who face similar struggles in their daily lives. This calling inspired us to open NAO Wellness."
