Meet Angee

Angee grew up on a small rural farm in Southern Ontario where she developed a strong bond with animals from an early age. She had more animal friends than human ones, which gave her a unique ability to connect and communicate with them in meaningful ways. Angee has dedicated her life to helping others heal by building intimate connections with animals. Sky River Meadows and the Sky River Herd are the result of her decades-long research and creation journey. She has been breeding and training the herd since 2011, and now partners with six generations of trained therapy support goats. Angee likes to refer to the herd as being in the "family business".

In 2013, Angee Pell earned her B.A. (Hons) in Child and Family Studies from Nipissing University at the Muskoka Campus. After that, she started her journey into the FEEL Approach. In 2018, she earned her FEEL Certification, and in 2019, she completed the Advanced FEEL Certification. Currently, there are over 300 FEEL grads worldwide, located in Canada, the USA, Sweden, and South Africa. Although FEEL work is typically done with horses, Angee has trained her goats to do the same work. This transition has certain advantages for Angee because she can take her goats to places that are not easily accessible by horses. With her herd, Angee can bring the FEEL work to retirement homes, schools, homes, and other private establishments.
