Canine Massage Therapy - Lifestyle Advice & Guidance -Exercise Programmes
Offering in-home treatments across Devon, I work to prioritise your dog's mental and physical wellbeing, by providing hands-on treatments to support healthy movement and pain management in all types of dogs including sports, working, or show dogs, dogs living with chronic conditions and those recovering from injury or surgery. I am passionate about keeping dogs fit and healthy throughout their lives and minimising any age-related discomfort.
Canine Massage Therapy is more than just a pamper session, it is a beneficial treatment that helps keep your dogs in top condition, free of pain and greatly increases their quality of life!
I also offer online conditioning programmes and lifestyle advice for dogs further afield.
My Education & Experience
Working as a Canine Massage Therapist wasn’t always the plan, I started my journey into the world of therapy with horses. In 2016, I started my undergraduate degree at Hartpury University, studying Equine Science with Therapy. I learned all about biomechanics, exercise physiology, and rehabilitation, and continued my studies with an MSc in Equine Science and an Equine Sports Massage and Rehabilitation qualification.
However, I realised that dogs are where my true passion lies and started looking for a canine massage therapy course. In 2023, I completed the Level 4 Canine Merishia Massage diploma with Rose Applied Therapies. I consider myself lucky to be able to apply my massage skills alongside all the therapy and rehabilitation tools I have learned throughout my education. The 5 years I spent studying rehabilitation and therapy, biomechanics, and exercise physiology, alongside 10 years of successfully showing dogs gives me an excellent eye for correct and dysfunctional movement, and compensatory patterns.
