Marshall found his recent massage to be enjoyable! He then desired to showcase his baby hedgehog to me 😊❤️

This is Moose! He’s a 10 year old Lab/Hound mix. His owners searched into massage to help with his hip dysplasia. He is such a cutie! I’m looking forward to getting to know him and to bring him some relief 🐶💙

Holly is on her path to strengthen up her back end. Along with massage she just got fitted for a brace! She gave me some happy smiles before I left 😄🐶🎀

Obi enjoyed his massage this morning. I couldn’t help but to imagine just taking a little snooze in all his fluff on this rainy day. 🌧️🐶

I had the pleasure of massaging this 4.5 month old girl the other day. She’s going through some growing pains as she is a large breed, a beautiful Leonberger. To my surprise she did really well, with minimal movement. You’re pets are never too young for a massage! 🤗

I think every time I massage Obi and Austin, Delfi has recently passed 💔, there is a point where I just stare at them in amazement! What beautiful breeds Leonbergers are! I mean, I might also get jealous that they have better hair then me 😂

Cavy is still love, love, loving her massages! Her owner reports the spasms in her back legs are decreasing. I love when I get to see her;she’s such a sweet girl 💕

Sir Benjamin, is a cute Havanese who was sadly diagnosed with cancer and given a 13 month life expectancy. His owner decided to make some life style changes and has reverse prognosis. She is currently pairing massage therapy and acupuncture to optimize his quality of life. Look at that tail wag! 🤗

Austin, brother to Delfi and Obi (in previous post), had his first session! Although he is only 21 months old, he still benefits from massage by preventing injuries, getting accustomed to touch and experiencing a calming energy. I benefited from the session by getting lots of big slobbery kisses! 🤪🤗

Cavy had her second massage session today! Her owner reported improvement from her very first session last weekend. Her shakiness and muscle spasms started to subside in her backend. I am thrilled she is having relief!

Obi and Delfi had well deserved massages today! They are hard working dogs who have achieved many titles, they do visits at a local hospital, and are also crisis therapy dogs who provide comfort due to disasters. I am happy to return the favor of comfort and relaxation for these two ❤️

We welcomed our 2nd baby girl on May 19th! I am on maternity leave but am still scheduling appointments and can answer any questions you may have!

Gunner enjoyed his first massage session today 🐾💆🏼‍♂️ His mom reached out because she wanted some preventative care. Gunner is 11 and although he gets around pretty well, she knows Boxers are known to lose muscle mass in their backend. With a full body massage, I increased his circulation, flushing out any lactic acid in his muscles and with continued work will restore his muscles to proper length to increase range of motion.

Had the pleasure to massage Levi this morning. He ended his session with a nice snooze 😴💙

When you book your first appointment with me, you’ll get a consultation along with your dog’s massage, at no additional cost.
Since this is an at home service, I encourage owner’s to stay for the massage. Especially if your pet does best when you’re around!

Why I became a canine massage therapist:

I used to work at a local animal shelter as a kennel technician. Part of that job required me to go pick up lost pets. The cutie in the picture is Dutch. Dutch and I became very close the moment I picked him up in the middle of Reading, Pa. Just like many other dogs, Dutch struggled to acclimate to the shelter environment. I spent A LOT of time with him. I wanted to let him know, although he is not comfortable in his current living conditions, there is someone there that he can trust.
There was restructuring in the shelter at the time and I was added to a team focused on dog behavior training. I worked alongside a positive reward-based trainer/behavior analysis specialist. I helped dogs who struggled with food aggression, stranger aggression, leash manners, and any other type of behavioral issues. While I was training, I noticed how much stress and emotional drainage was occurring to these dogs. It was always very easy for me to connect with them and make them feel they were in a safe space, where they can relax and I always offered a comforting touch.
Although I LOVED training, I knew in my heart there was another way for me to help dogs that would feel more personal and special. I heard of canine massage and very quickly started my research. I discovered the many benefits massage provides for dogs. I found a school in Ohio, and became a Certified Canine Massage Therapist. I am currently working at a veterinary hospital as a receptionist. I see on a daily basis how many of our furry loved ones struggle with arthritis from age, injuries that occur from accidents, and even rambunctious puppies who could use some preventative care.
Whether dogs have anxiety/stress, are injured, or just need a loving, healing touch, I want to be the one they feel comfortable coming to, to relieve any physical or emotional struggles they may be dealing with.
