Sage’s foot rub portion of her massage was not even remotely interupted by her younger sister’s antics! #dogsoffacebook #dogmassage #catsoftheday #kitten #wildkitty #dangerous #carnivore #heeler #silvercalico #calico #farmlife #caninemassagetherapy #dogs #mustlovealltheanimals #petmassage #dogfeet #dogfeetmatter #dogpedicure

My main girl got serious about this photo shoot 💛 with @katievogel48. Bianca has been through the wringer with her health this summer - bladder infections, kidney problems, a mast cell tumor, weight loss due to chronic nausea and the resulting hunger strike… I’ll stop there and leave all that for another post… So! When we got a brief window of opportunity (thanks to the support of our amazing vets!!), we headed out for an evening shoot to capture this beauty doing glamorous hound dawg things at sunset. She did not disappoint!! Here are a few of my favorite gems 💎
This sweet doggo has the most smoochable cheeks!! Of course her mom got her best girl a cupping massage. Wouldn’t you? #whatisthedogdoing #whatisthat #cuppingmassage #cupping #dogmassage #pitbulls #bluenose #bestgirl #animalmassage

Don’t bother Suavé when he’s napping
I’ll take a lazy Suavé any day of the week!

Ever sit with an Irish Wolfhound that thinks he’s a lap dog?
This sweet boy made himself right at home. And yes, he is bigger than I am. It was like having a #pony in my office and I loved every second of it 😂💛 #irishwolfhound #sweetboy #dogmassage #caninemassagetherapist #rubadub #showdog #dogsofinstagram #competitor
It’s 85°, I have milk chocolate covered fruit from @burrychocolates 🤤 and I get to work with some of my favorites girls today. #bannerday #happywednesday
Lou the water horse
This guy had us dying laughing in the middle of his session today. Just stuck his whole face in his water 💦 bucket and hung out 🤣🤷🏻♀️ whatever floats your boat!
I put together a short video for one of my rockstar clients to do between massage sessions with me & while they are away competing.
Sorry for the video quality. I needed a third hand & even IF Suave could be trusted to hold the camera for me, he'd still be at the wrong angle to be the model & the cameraman 😜 #massagevideo #equinemassage
Psoas: Workshop Follow Up
Some follow up from a client’s question on the function and location of the psoas muscles. The main function of these muscles is to flex the hip or to close the angle of the hip by moving the leg forward. Included in the video are pictures from a really great book called Physical Therapy and Massage for the Horse by Jean-Marie Denoix & Jean-Pierre Pailloux. I definitely recommend it if you are a fellow geek & love things that talk anatomy ;)
Massage Workshop: Canine Hind End Support
Hey there! This workshop went SUPER well, so I decided to offer it again for the folks that weren't able to make the last one. Next date is 6/5 @ 11:00am. We will go over a bit of anatomy, massage techniques, you'll learn some key spots to work on & then we'll practice together (but apart because it's still a Zoom call...:))
Here's the link to sign up to learn professional level booty rubs 🐕🐈🐎🐐🐫🐒

A couple of months ago I took a poll to find workshop topics that clients would find most useful. One of the winning topics was support for dogos with hind end pain or mobility issues due to arthritis, injury, etc. Saturday 5/15 I am hosting an online workshop that will get you started on one of everyone's favorite topics.

Look, every dog loves a good butt rub, I'm just here to teach you how to get the most relief for your pup's ailments in the process. If you'd like to learn more or to sign up for the workshop I'll include the link in the comments👇

P.S. Feedback on these workshops has been that the material is really easy to understand and fun to practice! The workshop is open to all pet owners and even though it's geared towards dogs, the techniques & massage sequnce can be applied to any other four legged, furry species. Heck I've even had someone show up with a lizard! The possibilities are endless.
