Business Friend of PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), invited to join in alliance as part of their initiative to support compassionate businesses.
MINDLOVE Online Therapy was listed by PETA in March 2024 as one of the Best Vegan Women-Owned Businesses.

As a Vegan and Antispecist Activist for Radical Compassion towards Non-Human Animals towards a Healthier Mental World I believe that we can heal as a collective as we heal the way in which we treat and perceive animals, as well as nature. It comes with grace to understand that being kind with oneself can change the world and deeply impact the experience of others as well.
