Welcome!

2007 Christmas Letter - click here

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
Founder/Director
Nature’s Edge Therapy Center, Inc.
