September marks the 5 year anniversary of my sweet little massage practice! If you asked me 7 years ago if I ever thought I would have my own practice, or massaging other people's animals, I would have laughed. Little did I know how much my life would change once I began this adventure! The people I have met through school and classes, the animal clients and their wonderful guardians, the networking which has led to other passions, so many mentors! I have so much gratitude for that first crew of furry friends who were such willing participants as my case study dogs... I have grown in so many ways as a massage practitioner and I continue to learn and grown with every one of my clients! Thank you all who have supported this adventure and continues to allow me the honor of working with you!

I am now on an adventure and back in school, learning about Pet Death Doula work, which in so many ways, completes the circle of this work, and life. And I can't do any of this work without all of you! Thank you to my circle of supports, and welcome to anyone who is new! I look forward to many more years!

How did it begin?

My interest in alternative or non traditional treatments for my dogs began back in 1993 when I sought acupuncture treatment for my disabled Labrador, Kaeleb, my first dog as an adult. I have never forgotten the tremendous impact it had on him - how relaxed and soothed he was as a result of his treatment. I have since continued to incorporate acupuncture, chiropractic, physical therapy and hydrotherapy as integral components of my animal’s medical teams since my experiences with Kaeleb. These treatments have greatly improved my current dogs. Four years ago my boxer had bilalteral TPLO surgeries and spent a year recovering, and my pug has experienced spine and shoulder issues, both have had positive rehabilitative experiences with massage.

Once I discovered that animal massage is a real thing, the rest was history! I enrolled in the Northwest School of Animal Massage (NWSAM) in 2018, and am now nationally board certified in and licensed in the State of Washington for Small Animal Massage. My senior pug and boxer reap the benefits every week and I have seen great effects on them, both physically and emotionally.

I enjoy working with animals in all life stages, yet my passions include working with animals with issues around abuse, neglect or trauma, rescued or recently adopted, senior and geriatric dogs, and dogs recovering from illness or injury. As a school counselor (my day job), I am well aware of how the body holds on to traumatic experiences and how critical healthy nervous systems are to humans. The same holds true for animals!

I look forward to working with your beloved pet!
