Hi everyone! 🐾

Many of you will know me as a human remedial massage therapist at Mountain Gym - Fitness & Massage , but many may not realise I also provide qualified canine remedial massage for your furry family members as well!

If you have landed here by referral, word-of-mouth or out of curiosity & interest: welcome to my canine-loving and all things canine massage business page! 🐶

Just as we, as humans, experience tight, stiff, uncomfortable muscular pain or discomfort, limited range of motion in our joints, or may find ourselves feeling nervous, stressed or anxious, our dogs can feel this, too.

As humans, we can independently seek out massage therapy or a supportive bodywork treatment to benefit our current discomfort concerns and seek the much-needed relief. Our dogs rely on us to advocate for them with all aspects of their life, including body care, and seek out professional support, so they can feel their best in health, wellness and movement. This is where I can help with Canine Remedial Massage Therapy 🐾

I am fully qualified through Canine Health Academy, and fully insured. I fully qualified as a Vet Nurse in 2012, and worked in a vet clinic for a two year duration. Though I am not actively working as a Vet Nurse anymore, I still remain passionate about the industry, and aim to remain updated and aware of helpful knowledge for pet owners, within my scope, while supporting a positive relationship with your local Vet, and liasoning with them for the safest and most beneficial treatment outcomes ☺️

I'm an avid dog and animal lover, a passionate advocator for their needs and requirements, I understand dog behaviour and their characteristics, and respect their social, behavioural and communicative cues and boundaries. All of these being crucial elements to a positive, effective and comfortable massage treatment session for your dog, and for yourself as the owner. 💛

I provide this as a mobile service to Mount Beauty, Tawonga and Tawonga South. If you are outside of these suburbs, please send me a message and I can provide an alternative location. 📱 0417 530 039.

*Anxious and nervous dogs welcome! If anything, I encourage treatment sessions for the less confident doggos, the ones who take a moment (or two, or three) to warm up to someone new, and will work alongside you as their owner, with patient trust-building and support for your well-loved companion. 🐾

Surely someone out there has a ginger sized hole in their lives that this guy would be a perfect fit for?! 🥰🥰

UPDATE | Ginger is now home. Thank you to everyone who expressed interest in this beautiful boy!

*

Ginger is looking for a fresh start in 2025, starting with a new home! 🏠😻

This funny, friendly boy is a domestic short hair cat. At approximately two years old, Ginger is active and affectionate.

While he was not microchipped when we picked him up, he now has been. His microchip number is 941000029621191.

If you would like to meet Ginger, you can contact our Local Laws team or put in an expression of interest online at our Animal Hub: https://engage.alpineshire.vic.gov.au/community-hubs/animal-hub

If you're unsure about adopting, but would be interested in keeping Ginger short-term, we also offer a fostering program.

All applications will be assessed for suitability by our Local Laws team.

Please remember that a new pet is not for now, but forever.

No holds will be taken over the phone or on social media.

Good morning all. We hope everyone is going well. We have some exciting news, we have been invited by reptiles Victoria to participate in a 3 year study into our local reptiles. What we need is to collect any deceased or critically injured reptiles. Can I please ask that if anyone sees or knows of any reptile that has been hit by a car or bitten by cat or dog please let us know and we will come and collect. Please share this far and wide as the more exposure the better the outcome for the study.

Thank you

Poor Milo is desperate for a new home. Please share the post to help us find his furever family. 🙏🤞💜

This dude is still looking for his furever home. If you have a Milo shaped hole in your life, give the Alpine Shire a call. 🥰💜

It's in their DNA. Please don't get a working dog if you're not going to work it. They're so so smart and need so much mental and physical exercise. It doesn't mean you have to own a cattle ranch, but you do have to let them stretch their mind and their legs at least once a day.

This looks so promising and could be an absolute lifeline for many laminitic ponies and their owners. 💜🙏🙏🤞🤞

Findley is a lucky dog. The small white and brown Chilean terrier is one of the first dogs in the world to get neutered without having to go under the knife.
