Hi, I am presently an infant-Senior (human) Occupational Therapy Practitioner with 25+ years experience and an Advanced CranioSacral Therapist with 10+ years experience. I also have a Professional Certificate in Animal Assisted Therapy through Community College of RI. Because of my passion for dogs, I extended my education to become a Certified Myo-Manipulative Functional Therapist (CMFT), a Certified Canine Craniosacral Technique Therapist (CCCTT) and Certified in Animal Cold Laser Therapy. In order to earn my certifications in these courses, I was required to complete multiple video presentations, including 4 video case studies which required gait analysis, ROM, vitals, past and present medical history, current areas of concern and detailed massage, craniosacral and cold laser, including Acupoint, techniques being used in each session. Each case study also required results, both post session and later sessions, as well as recommended home program including ROM, stretching and any home/environment/activity modifications. I was also required to complete a total of 8 comprehensive written case studies following the same requirement, as well as a total of over 170+ hours and 50+ of volunteer hands-on hours. I completed my certifications through Angel’s Animals Holistic Studies and Seminars and earned “Top Practitioner”. I was also chosen as “Practitioner of the Month” for April 2024.
I consult with each owner prior to booking any sessions in order to ensure there are no contraindications and that they have consulted with their dog’s veterinarian regarding approval for their dog to receive massage, craniosacral and cold laser ( if indicated). If I have any concerns, I request permission to consult with their veterinarian. If their dog is a candidate for my services, I educate them on what to expect and how to prepare their dog for their initial session. Their initial session consists of an overall evaluation, assessing the dog’s general condition and ensuring their dog’s comfort and establishing a rapport. I offer discounts for senior dogs, service dogs and rescues. The initial session is considered a consult and can range from 30 minutes to 60 minutes, depending on the dogs comfort level. If the dog and owner want to continue as a client, subsequent sessions will be scheduled as appropriate and will depend on the history, evaluation, and hands-on feedback of the animal during the initial session. Appropriate at home recommendations will be made after each session. If requested, written reports can be provided as necessary. Professional memberships and Insurance
I am a member of the International Association of Animal Massage and Bodywork/Association of Canine Water Therapy (IAAMB/ACWT) which entitles me to be insured by Associated Bodywork & Massage Professionals (ABMP).
Benefits and Limitations
I do not provide Canine Rehabilitation. My sessions are focused on your dogs wellness and wellbeing.
My goals are to provide canine massage, craniosacral and cold laser therapy, as appropriate, to each of my canine clients that is approved and complementary to regular veterinary care. I also aim to educate the dog(s) owners, within my scope of practice, so they can recognize potential areas of concern and follow up with their veterinarian and/or other professional care providers.
Please note that I am not a veterinarian, a veterinary technician/ assistant or a canine rehabilitation practitioner.
I do not make diagnosis and/or treat injuries, illnesses, or diseases. Clients who seek my services for their dog(s) after an injury or illness must provide written veterinary clearance. When concerns are noted, clients will be directed to seek appropriate care from their veterinarian and/or other professional care providers if recommended.

Contact Info
If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at [email protected] or call (203) 759-8735. You can also find me on Facebook at Canine Connections, LLC
Related background
I also have an extensive experience in Canine sports and activities for over 45 years. I have shown multiple dogs earning Championships in Breed competitions, titles in obedience, and field events. I have earned multiple Canine Good Citizens and both volunteer and professional therapy dog certifications. My current Certified Canine Occupational Therapy partner has completed the following American Kennel Club (AKC) titles, S.T.A.R. Puppy, Canine Good Citizen, Canine Good Citizen Urban, Canine Good Citizen Advanced, Trick Dog Novice and Trick Dog Intermediate. I continue my professional development by taking courses and seminars. I have worked with a variety of dogs of all ages, from puppies to senior dogs from different backgrounds, including pet dogs, rescue dogs, and performance dogs.

Barry is working on "work related" tricks too!

Here is Barry doing his version of "Go Settle" Sometimes he even brings his settle pad to a different spot 🤦‍♀️

Barry also earned his Intermediate Trick Dog! Here's one of the tricks (he's working on keeping it going on carpet;)

Finally Rupert was able to find a "running" partner that could help him beat Pearl! #elliottthedogrunner #Rupertstillrunningat13andahalf

Today I got to see someone who was very instrumental in helping us "save" Rupert's life, her name is Debbie! When Rupert was just 7 months old he went into liver failure from a toxic insult to his Liver. Before we knew it we were referred to & heading to the Emergency Veternarian Hospital in Katonah, N.Y.! Upon our arrival we would have to show that we had the $$ to cover his medical expenses! We were already under so much stress! We couldn't even imagine the thought of losing him, we didnt care how much it was going to cost! We were determined to save him, but how were we going to come up with the $$ let alone proof we had it in the hour it was going to take to get to Katonah Veternarian Hospital? We called one of Rupert's favorite people, whom he met while doing his community puppy training visits, Debbie. Debbie had been the manager at the Woodbury branch of Newtown Savings Bank back in 2004 and loved having Rupert come in to visit! Within 1 hour Debbie called me and had gone above and beyond in getting us a line of credit to show we could cover Rupert's estimated Vet bill!! Debbie later had moved out of the area, so we had lost touch, but now she is back in the area! I'm so glad Debbie saw me today and came over to say "Hi"! Unfortunately Rupert wasn't with us, so he sends this message! Hopefully he will get to see you in person soon!!! #specialpeoplemattermorethantheyknow
