A couple of days ago I had the pleasure of seeing the beautiful Miya and gorgeous Bronte.

Miya is a younger girl, where as Bronte an older lady. Both have had lameness 😞 and both are shedding so well my leggings turned yellow 💛 🤣

Watching BBC news and seeing that the UK is the first to allow laboratory grown meat in dog food but then spot this... ..well I guess it keeps me in buisness, although possibly not what I should be getting most annoyed about 🤦🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

After seeing the devine Welly for Deep Tissue Massage this morning I took my girls for a walk at Drinnies Wood.

About half way round we walked towards a pack of five collies and their owner. Edith was ever so good, but also got very overwhelmed by all the collies. Edith has been taught a 'safe place', which is between my feet, so that is where she went. Dora, who had been behind me, noticed this and promptly stood in front of me - allowing Edith to use both between my feet and between Dora's.

I love watching how older doggos help to train younger pups in good (and bad 🙈) habits 🥰

Stay safe ❤️

Big question in my life at the moment... who wore it better 🤔 🙈

Happy New Year to you all!
I'm back to work on Monday and looking forward to getting back to normality (and not just living off cheese board 🙈)

Shout out to all those already doing reconstructive surgery on their dog's new soft toys 🙈

🎄 Merry Christmas 🎄
From my hounds to yours 💕 and from me to you 💗

A number of dogs I saw this year are not here this Christmas. Thank you so much for letting me into your precious dogs lives and allowing me to help them through their last months ❤

If Christmas is hard,
If you've lost someone dear
Just look in your heart,
and you'll know they're still near.

The star in the sky,
the light falling snow.
The robin outside,
it seems like they know.

If this is a time,
when you're struggling through.
Just do what you can,
for what matters, is you.

You don't have to be merry,
there is no need to be bright.
Just do what you can,
it will all be alright.'

Thank you Bosun for being my last client of 2024!

I now have two weeks off and I will be back on the 6th January 😊

I love it when my dog client goes home and has a nice big snooze 💤 A good nap after Clinical Canine Massage allows soft tissues and muscles to continue to let down and lets the lymphatic system have a moment to clear away any debris 💗

Gorgeous Murphy came to see me on Wednesday before making it home to have 40 winks with his little brother 😊

Sometimes the best reviews are straight from the dog's cheeky personality 🥰🤣

Wondering what to do this bitterly cold, snowy, icy day? Grab a cuppa and blanket, settle on the sofa with your doggos and watch this! You will see Edith as a teeny pup when she was still with her litter as well as her brother, Jock, and half brother 🥰 (Edith was one of the darker pups 😊)

Apologies if you are one of those who I have had to cancel this week due to the weather 🥶😭

Hope you are all keeping as warm as Edith who decided to sleep at my head whilst I did boring paperwork 😄

What a brilliant Christmas present for yourself and your beautiful dog(s)!

I highly recommend this; the connection you have with your dog whilst massaging them is truly amazing 💕

Join Us This January for a 4-Week Online Canine Massage Course!

Ready to strengthen your bond with your dog while learning skills that will truly make a difference to their well-being? Our friendly, interactive online course kicks off in January, and we’d love for you to join us!

This isn’t just about massage—it’s about connection. You’ll learn a variety of easy-to-follow techniques, tailored to meet your dog’s unique needs. Along the way, I’ll guide you to understand where you might be going wrong and how to get it just right, ensuring your dog gets the tailored care they deserve.

Spoiler Alert: Your dog doesn’t have to lie down to benefit from massage! Dogs are clever communicators—they’ll show you the areas they need help with (and sometimes the ones they’re not quite ready to share). I'll teach you how to read these cues and work with your dog’s body language to provide a gentle, effective, and empowering therapy.

I bring nearly 20 years of experience in the canine massage industry, as a pioneer, course developer, and founder of the world’s largest canine massage association. Thousands of dog lovers worldwide have already benefited from my courses and teachings—and now it’s your turn!

Joining me (and my trusty sidekick, Lyra, my 8-year-old Collie X Terrier) means you’ll get so much more than a few massage techniques. This course will deepen your understanding, strengthen your bond, and give you the tools to care for your dog in ways you never thought possible.

✨ Spaces are limited, so book today! It also makes a thoughtful, unique gift for the dog lover in your life.

Let’s make January a month of connection, learning, and love—one paw at a time. 💛

Many of you know that I love a good name for a dog 🥰

Today I got to see Bluebell and Merlin.

Bluebell has had a limp recently and so her mum asked me to make sure she hasn't done herself too much damage and just to work out any wee niggles. Merlin is an agility dog who has had a bit of swimmers tail 🙄
