My Qualifications
I hold a certification in Small Animal Massage Therapy as well as
standard and advanced certifications in both Human Massage Therapy and
Bodywork. I've been in private practice since 1993.
My academic background includes studies in Eastern and Western
Medicine, Holistic and Complementary therapies, as well as internships
with 2 therapists trained in shamanic practices.
Why My Work Has Gone To The Dogs
It was when dogs started approaching me and leaning or pushing with parts
of their body that were apparently causing them discomfort that I began to
look at them in the way I was trained to look at a human body. Paying
attention to the form and structure, and how that translates into efficient
and comfortable movement.
What struck me is how many dogs are doing what they're dedicated to doing -
running, jumping, working, playing and keeping us company - while in pain.
Of course they can't tell us they have a stiff shoulder or that their knee
hurts, and unless there's an obvious change in their behavior it's easy to
assume that they're fine. Unlike humans, they don't complain. Instead they
quietly and willingly adapt to move around the problem.
Canine Massage, in all its forms, is designed to detect, alleviate, and prevent
recurrence of the conditions that keep your pet from enjoying the freedom of
movement they were designed to have.
I'm proud to be able to provide this service to our most trusted and valuable friends.
