Sexual Assault Victim Creates Therapy Animal Plushies That Benefit Mental Health

dog plushie

Savanna Parafox was sexually assaulted at a Colorado college. She came home to Arizona to recover and heal from the traumatic event. Not only that but her mother Georgie, Exceptional Heroes’ chief executive officer and founder, also lost her job due to the pandemic.

Despite these harsh challenges, they have formed a duo in Goodyear and started a business to help others. They also recruited Georgie’s mother, Doris Koine, to fight alongside their battles. “We are a manufacturing company; however, Savanna created a patent-pending product that is for mental health, as well as mental wellness. She developed it two years ago, during her own healing process.”

The products are plushies modeled after Monroe the rabbit and Shelby the American bulldog. Both are endorsed by mental health care professionals and backed by cognitive science.
