Ann began her life by being friends with the animals on her farm.  As an adult, she found ways to incorporate animals into her psychotherapy practice and to advocate for the animal’s perspective as a dog trainer.  She helped develop the first Standards of Practice in the field of animal-assisted services, she has written books and textbooks for both volunteers and professionals, and she continues to develop and teach curricula on-line and in-person.  Kindness is central to her way of being, toward both humans and the animals with whom we share this planet.
