Hi Everyone! 👋

Well, 2024 has been quite the year!! Unfortunately, my small business has had to take a back seat and will continue to be on hold whilst myself & my family make the move to live in the UK indefinitely 🇬🇧

However, once we are settled, I plan to continue my PawsUp journey in the UK, so please watch this space 💓🙌

I am incredibly grateful to all who have supported me. Without you I would never have got this far. You all trusted me and the therapy to help your beautiful dogs and I thank you so much for believing in me 😘

Until next time, wishing you and your loved ones a happy, healthy & successful 2025.

Keep those paws up & take care 🐶💕

Love Jen xx

Beautiful day to wash all things doggy 🐶🐾
think it’s fair to say some have found it a little more traumatic than others 😳🧸🤣

Remember the beautiful Angie? 🥰

I had the pleasure of seeing her again today for some more Bowen Therapy 🙌 it’s hard to believe it’s been a year since I last saw her but in that time she has maintained good health & movement until recently.

At an amazing 12 years old she is finding that her rear legs are starting to let her down a bit. This is causing stiffness in her hindquarters & mid back & a lot of pressure in her shoulders from shifting all her weight forward 😟

Her Mum is convinced Bowen Therapy made a huge difference for Angie a year ago and is keen to continue the therapy now to help Angie stay as mobile & comfortable as possible.

The therapy I provided today will start the process of realignment & balance and I look forward to continuing this over the next few weeks. Angie had a big smile on her face the whole time & I even got a lovely big kiss at the end 😁🐶🐾❤️

Understanding arthritis in dogs begins with learning the signs and working with your Vet for an accurate diagnosis 🐶🩻

Signs include:

🐾 postural changes
🐾 dragging feet
🐾 exercise intolerance (panting)
🐾 sensitivity to touch
🐾 behavioural changes
🐾 wagging tail less
🐾 being uninterested & distant
🐾 changes in eating habits
🐾 unable to stretch or shake fully
🐾 licking or chewing paws
🐾 sleeping more than usual

Whilst arthritis is not curable, there is help & hope with many different treatment options available including weight management, traditional medications, joint supplements and complementary therapies such as Bowen Therapy 🙌

Have a chat with your Vet about the best options for your dog’s health & happiness 💕🐾

How’s this for a great idea! 💡🐾👍🌿

Our local Murrays Restaurant not only has a designated doggy table for our furry friends to join in the fun, but have now added a very smart grassed area which provides a safe, non-slip surface - super important for all dogs but particularly the compromised or elderly, love it 👏👏

Good things come to those who wait 🤩

I graduated with the International School of Bowen Therapy (ISBT) in 2021 but thanks to Covid, didn’t receive my t-shirt until now! Thank you Lisa, I am so proud to wear it 💕🙌🐾

When you’re home alone and your food possessed Labrador needs Bowen Therapy, a reward for staying (relatively) still is essential!! Mashed banana hero to the rescue 🦸😂🍌

Literally two minutes after therapy was complete she was in her bed snoring her head off 💤🤣

Love my Coco 🐾❤️

Super excited to say I have just completed Level 1 of this amazing Canine Arthritis Course and am now a qualified CAM Advocate ready to raise awareness of the disease to help more dogs live longer with less pain 🐾🙌

Arthritis in dogs is so much more common than most realise. 4 out of 5 dogs over the age of 8 and an unbelievable 35% of dogs over the age of 1 year old suffer from arthritis 🫤 It is PAINFUL and not just an “old dog disease”. It is also, sadly, the major cause of elective euthanasia in dogs 😥

Dogs cope and mask chronic pain very well, until they are no longer able to 😖 It can be displayed in a variety of subtle changes ie: postural, gait, capability, coat changes & behaviour. I can show you how to spot the signs early, understand the progression and affects of the disease and provide useful guidance and tips on how to assist with reduction & management of pain relevant to your dog’s lifestyle and home environment.

Please reach out if you would like to know more ❤️

FUN FACT

Why do dogs make such a mess when drinking? 👅

Dogs drinking may look slapdash and messy, but it is actually a highly technical and precisely timed set of movements called “acceleration-driven open pumping” 🫡

A study published in the journal “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences” used high-speed photography to work out exactly what’s going on.

Dog’s mouths can’t create suction due to their jaws being designed to be wide enough to bite large mammals so they have incomplete cheeks 😳

Instead they curl their long tongues backwards forming a ladle-shape that thumps down into the water creating an initial splash 💦 The tongue is then quickly yanked back into the mouth and the splashed water sticks to the top side of the tongue creating a rising column of water. The dog then snaps it’s mouth shut into this column of water at the point when the greatest volume has risen, and drinks it, which is the messy bit! 🌊😬

So next time your pup creates a tidal wave and leaves a trail of destruction behind them, consider it as a masterpiece and pass the towel please!!!🤣👅❤️🐾

FUN FACT - Akita, the world’s most loyal dog 🐾💜

Hachi-ko was a Japanese Akita born in 1923 who followed his owner Professor Ueno from their home to Tokyo’s Shibuya Station every day, then waited until he returned to walk home again.

Sadly, Professor Ueno died at work in 1925, but Hachi-ko continued to wait for him for another 10 years 😲 becoming a national hero in the process 🎖️

When he died, Japan held a national day of mourning and a statue was erected to his memory at the station 🙌🇯🇵

Definitely a hero in my eyes 💕🐾🐶

FUN FACT 🤗

Why do humans love dogs? 🧐

When we interact with dogs our bodies release the hormones oxytocin, beta-endorphin, prolactin and dopamine, plus the neurotransmitter beta-phenylethylamine, all associated with affection, happiness and bonding 🥰

We also experience a decrease in cortisol, a hormone related to stress, resulting in a pleasant biochemical high which is as good a definition of love as any 🐾🐕‍🦺🧡

There is also solid evidence that when we stare into the eyes of a dog, it activates the same hormone release we get from staring into the eyes of a baby. In a sense, dogs have hihacked the biochemical system that binds humans together - clever puppers!! 🤗🐾

Research shows when people aren’t able or aren’t allowed to care for others, they are more likely to experience decreased health, well being and depression ☹️

Put simply, caring for a dog makes us feel EXTRAORDINARY!! 🐶🙌👌

D-E-N-V-A-R ❤️ a very special girl.

Denvar is a 10 year old Pure Bred Bull Mastiff who I first met back in 2019 when she was struggling with arthritis. She couldn’t stand for very long before her rear legs started to shake violently and she needed to sit down. This was making her regular walks less & less frequent and her quality of life was slowly declining 😥

After only one therapy session, Denvar amazed us all by waking up the following morning like a different girl. She could stand without shaky legs, was brighter, happier, moving better and best of all, she continued to maintain this improvement 🙌

Her owners were amazed at the difference and after a second session were able to resume Denvar’s regular walks again. Since then, they have become firm believers in this wonderful therapy 🫶

Over the past 3 years I have seen Denvar on multiple occasions for various issues, occasionally using Bowen Therapy as a stand alone modality but also in a complementary capacity working alongside conventional Veterinary care when she has required medication following slips, falls & infections. Each time this girl defies the odds, perks back up and keeps going.

She is very cheeky, full of personality, loves a belly rub, has the sad face “down pat” and sits perfectly still for her therapy (as long as there is a treat on offer) 🤣🤣

It’s always a pleasure seeing her and her Owners, with the trust and friendship that has been built over the years being the biggest bonus of all ❤️🐾🥰
