The Story Behind Hollow & Hare

Restoring Balance Through Nature Based Care

Hollow & Hare began with a simple observation: animals have a remarkable way of helping us slow down, connect, and find moments of peace.

As a mother, I experienced the impact of animal-assisted experiences firsthand. I watched children facing life's challenges light up with confidence, joy, and calm while spending time with animals. Those moments stayed with me and inspired a simple question:

How can more people experience this?

That question led me on a journey of learning. Through graduate studies and professional training in aromatherapy, Ayurveda, mindfulness, and yoga, I discovered how nature, gentle movement, mindful practices, and animal interactions can work together to support emotional well-being and meaningful connection.

Along the way, rabbits became an important part of that journey. Their gentle, intuitive nature reflects the values at the heart of Hollow & Hare. As naturally cautious prey animals, rabbits teach us that trust isn't rushed—it grows through patience, kindness, and presence. Simply spending time with them encourages us to slow down, notice the present moment, and connect more deeply with ourselves and the world around us.

Today, Hollow & Hare offers thoughtfully designed experiences that blend rabbit-assisted interactions, nature-based activities, mindfulness, creative exploration, gentle movement, and holistic wellness practices. Every experience is thoughtfully personalized to reflect the unique needs, goals, and interests of the individuals, families, schools, and organizations we serve.

Our Mission

Restoring Balance Through Nature-Based Care.

We believe meaningful wellness begins with connection—to ourselves, to one another, to animals, and to the natural world.

Whether you're spending time with one of our rabbits, exploring nature, creating something new, or simply taking a quiet moment to breathe, my hope is that every Hollow & Hare experience leaves you feeling a little more connected, a little more balanced, and a little more at home in the world around you.

Brittany Suarez, MS

Program Director & Wellness Educator

"I believe wellness often begins with the smallest moments—a deep breath, time spent in nature, the gentle presence of an animal, and the opportunity to simply slow down."

My passion has always been helping people reconnect with themselves, with others, and with the natural world.

As both a mother and a lifelong animal lover, I witnessed the meaningful impact that gentle interactions with animals could have on emotional well-being. That experience inspired me to pursue graduate studies in aromatherapy and Maharishi Ayurveda, along with professional training in mindfulness, yoga, and animal-assisted interventions.

These experiences shaped my belief that wellness is most meaningful when we care for the whole person. Through Hollow & Hare, I thoughtfully weave together nature, rabbit-assisted experiences, mindfulness, movement, holistic wellness practices, and the intentional use of essential oils to create opportunities for connection, balance, and well-being.

One of my greatest teachers has been rabbits. Their quiet nature reminds us that trust is built through patience, gentleness, and presence—values that continue to guide both my life and the experiences I create.

Outside of Hollow & Hare, you'll usually find me caring for our rabbits, tending the garden, exploring the outdoors, or spending time with my family. Those simple moments continue to inspire the work I feel honored to share with others.
