Evelien Devriese

From an early age, Evelien felt a deep connection with animals. Her journey started with rescuing sea creatures as a child and saving her first chicken at 13 – an experience that sparked her lifelong mission. After years of disconnect, she rediscovered her passion when she founded Daisyfields Animal Sanctuary in 2022, the only farm animal sanctuary in West Flanders, Belgium. Over the years, we have rescued more than 150 animals and reached thousands of people with a message of empathy and hope. Through Evelien's lectures, she shares what these incredible animals have taught her about trauma, resilience, and healing. This year, Evelien will launch a healing program at the sanctuary, helping people reconnect with themselves through the presence of animals.
