Hello Healing Hands Pet Massage Followers! Just a note to let you know June and July’s appointments have been awesome and Healing Hands Pet Massage continues to grow everyday. I have spent quality time with my regulars and have begun to see the wonderful benefits of massage! That has to be the most rewarding part of the job…to know you helped a dog enjoy a better quality of life.
I have also had the opportunity to meet some new clients that are now working their way into a two week rotation. I am very pleased for the opportunity to work long term with these dogs!
Unfortunately, I had my first End of Life Massage. I had an unusual request to go to an Amish farm where a six year old girl’s puppy was facing the end of his life. The father had done all he could to save the pup even though it is customary to let it be “God’s will”. The pup had been key in helping his young girl hurdle some physical and emotional obstacles in her life. The little girl was NOT sleeping because the pup could not relax and she perceived this to mean he (the dog) was scared to go to Heaven. I did massage the pup and taught the little girl some light techniques to help relax the pup before bed that night. The pup wasn’t expected to make it through the night. The father updated last week and said the pup remained relaxed and passed peacefully beside it’s young, sleeping owner. The little girl is doing well, all considered, and her father says she sees it as the pup was ready to go because he was “relaxed” about making the journey.
Summertime has also brought some outdoor massages, which are always fun. My schedule is running well into the evenings, since I work a full time day job. One Friday night, I was out considerably late massaging a basset hound beside the family campfire. The family reported she was older and had recently given birth. They felt the pregnancy and birthing was a little rough on her and just wanted her to feel better with a massage!
So, whether you are a regular customer, a one time customer or a customer that has a special request, I will do my best to help your dog benefit from massage.
My August hours will remain the same. Monday thru Thursday 7p.m. - 9p.m. and Fridays 7p.m. - 10p.m.
Cost is $40 per session for new clients. Specials that are currently in place for regulars still apply AND I have been known to throw discounts out now and again!!!!
Jump into August with an appointment! Shoot me a message! I will be working on the August schedule this week.
Enjoy your summer!
