01 Our Philosophy

Personalized care in the comfort of your pet's home.

Peaceful Paws is an insured mobile animal massage service. Sessions are provided in the comfort and familiarity of your pet's home. I personalize and tailor each session based upon your pet's medical history, intake form, your concerns and what I observe and feel during the initial visit.

I offer several different modalities of massage therapy for your pet: Tellington TTouch Therapy, Swedish Massage, Trigger Point Therapy, Myofascial Release, and Acupressure.

Coming Soon: Cold laser and light therapy.

All or a combination of these modalities will be used based on your pet's intake form and medical history. I am also certified in pet CPR & first aid.

03 The Journey

Your Dog's Experience

From the moment you reach out, we're dedicated to creating a seamless, stress-free experience for both of you.

Consultation

We begin with a thorough conversation about your dog's history, health conditions, behavior, and goals. This can happen via phone or video call at your convenience.

Assessment

At your first session, we take time to let your dog acclimate to the space and to us. We assess posture, gait, muscle condition, and areas of tension before beginning any treatment.

Customized Treatment

Using the insights gathered, we create a personalized massage experience. We continuously read your dog's responses, adjusting pressure and technique in real-time.

Aftercare & Guidance

You'll receive personalized recommendations for home care, including simple techniques you can use between sessions. We're always available for follow-up questions.

04 Meet Your Therapist

Dedicated to the well being of animals since 2006.

I've been dedicated to the well being of animals since 2006 when I started working in animal rescue. It was these years that led me to the practice of holistic medicine for animals.

Research has shown that over the past 10 years, people have become more health conscious and are seeking a more natural lifestyle. Over 30 million dollars per year is spent on alternative treatments such as acupuncture, chiropractic care, herbal medicine, aromatherapy, acupressure, yoga and massage. These same people are now choosing similar types of care for their pets.

While alternative care is not a replacement for traditional veterinary care, many people choose to incorporate some type of alternative care with traditional veterinary care.

Just as with humans, massage is soothing and calming. It is a great modality to help our pets relax, which can lead to a reduction in stress and the negative effects stress can have on the body. So often we don't think about the effects that stress and anxiety can have on ourselves, let alone our animals. Massage provides a safe, natural, noninvasive method of maintaining your dog's health and well being.

Massage therapy can also help your pet recover from an injury.

Not only do I love bringing the joy of relaxation and wellness to animals, I also enjoy helping pet owners understand their pet's bodies and discover the gentle power of the healing arts.
