Canine Massage

Dogs benefits from massage the same way as humans.

I am qualified in two forms of canine massage:

Canine Merishia massage

Relax HAOK9 massage R

My canine massage treatments are animal led and tailored to your dogs needs. I will incorporate techniques from both modalities and use techniques that are most appropriate for your dog. I will also incorporate some TTouch body work and energy work in form of Canine Craniosacral therapy or/and energy healing if its suitable for your dogs. My treatments takes a holistic approach - physical and emotional.

As a therapist I will observe and work closely with the body language of your dog to apply the most effective combination of techniques.
