Cultivate Inner Peace
Mindfulness Practices Support
Our Mindfulness Practices Support program offers a deeply personal and nurturing experience that goes beyond typical mindfulness sessions. Set on a peaceful property surrounded by nature and animals, this service is thoughtfully designed to support your mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing in a way that feels natural, supportive, and empowering.
Mindful Moments
The practice of being present
What makes this program truly unique is the environment in which it takes place. If you feel at home in nature and enjoy the company of animals, you’ ll have the opportunity to practice mindfulness outdoors—sometimes even meditating alongside goats, sheep, a pony and donkey. These calm, quiet moments of connection can be incredibly grounding, offering a deeper sense of peace and presence.
With your holistic support worker, sessions are tailored to your preferences, needs and capabilities. Activities may include meditation, nature walks, self-care practices, journaling, gentle yoga, mindful art, sound healing, and oracle card reflection. Whether you’re new to mindfulness or looking to deepen your practice, this program offers a safe, one-on-one space to explore at your own pace
Benefits for NDIS participants include:
• A stronger connection to self and the present moment
• Unique opportunities for calm, animal-assisted mindfulness
• Boosted confidence, resilience, and inner calm
• Reduced stress, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm
• Enhanced emotional awareness, expression, and regulation
• Supportive space for creativity and self-reflection
Life Enriching
Community Access Support
Our Community Access Support service is designed to help you confidently step out into the world and take part in the community in ways that are meaningful, enjoyable, and tailored to your personal interests and goals. We understand that navigating public spaces can sometimes feel overwhelming—especially when living with a disability or mental health challenges. That’s why we offer thoughtful, one-on-one support that makes community access feel not only manageable, but genuinely empowering.
Your Community Awaits
Each community access outing is guided by your compassionate and experienced support worker who truly listens and takes the time to understand what makes you feel safe, supported, and confident. Whether you’re working toward personal goals like building independence, increasing confidence in social settings, or simply wanting to enjoy more of life’s simple pleasures, day, or night, we’re here to walk alongside you.
Our role is to be your steady, supportive companion—someone who understands your needs, celebrates your wins, and helps you embrace all the wonderful possibilities that life has to offer.
Benefits for NDIS participants include:
• A greater sense of independence and self-confidence
• Reduced anxiety in social or unfamiliar settings
• Increased comfort navigating public environments
• Support to access community spaces and experiences safely

Holly
One of the highlights of our time together has been participating in the Farm Friends Program. I recently completed the Farm Friends First Aid training and learnt so much. I have also gained valuable work experience through this program and it has helped me build confidence and hands on experience working with animals. I even had the honour of naming one of the baby goats Faun! On my shifts with Ila, we always laugh and smile. I’m truly thankful for everything she’s done to help me grow as a person.

Ila from Mindfulness with Farm Friends has been providing me with support for many years now. Her support helps me navigate life with major depression and generalised anxiety disorder. These conditions often make everyday activities challenging, especially accessing the community, but Ila has empowered me to work toward my goal of living more independently. She boosts my confidence, encourages me to socialise, and supports me during outings, making me feel more capable and motivated.

My daughter Maya is non-verbal. She’s on the autism spectrum. Since starting to go to Mindfulness with Farm Friends and spending quality time around animals and nature, I feel she is much more calm, grounded, and more present....I love Ila’s work introducing Maya to pure goodness. I recommend the service 100%.

Ila has helped me develop things like life skills, independence and furthering my level of self confidence and courage. She has made me expand my own interests, passions and knowledge. I consider her such an essential person in my world! Whether it is our car rides, our long conversations, or the sense of humour that we share, there’s always something to explore with her around. I definitely recommend her services if you’re looking for engaging, client-centred support. Anyone who has the pleasure of meeting or befriending Ila is truly beyond blessed.
