Therapeutic Canine Massage
Although similar to human massage, canine massage uses techniques developed specifically for dogs and small animals. It is a gentle, yet powerful way to improve your pet’s health and increase their well being at any age. I provide a full body massage that can help specific issues while addressing the underlying conditions and will provide an overall holistic approach to your dogs health. My approach is also mindful and respectful to your pet as I allow them to guide each session. Animals are very in tune with the natural world and with the natural vibrations and energies of the universe and are usually more than happy to let you know when they would like more…or when they may have had enough.
