Hi, I've been caring for dogs well over 18 years, first as a Canine Therapist, a re-socializer (yup that's my word for it), and personal doggie chef of all things. I've rehabbed every size dog imaginable, a Dachshund with a severe spinal surgery from paralyzation, to Great Danes with limited hip mobilization. Currently, I have Joy 🐶 by my side (in the photos). She's the sweetest dog I've ever met - who indeed rescued me. I was meeting family for dinner one night, oddly three hours early (weird I know!). There wasn't a Starbucks in sight, yet, I drove by the local humane society a few times. I drove in and sat in the parking lot for a long time, contemplating. I just put down my third dog in a row six months prior. It felt that I was ready again. You see, I value peace and love on this planet, and absolutely include our fur-babies as an integral part of this vision. I walked in, saw a lot, and then our eyes met, we kissed through the glass door, and I was hooked (and rescued). I took Joy home and she's been the best dog-daughter I could have ever asked for. She has no health concerns or dietary issues at all, although, she does get a lot of hands on massages, and yes I do cook for her. She gets along with every dog she's ever met, loves to play, and I exercise her very well. I am also offering: 🐾 K9 Therapy & Relaxation Treatments 🐾 Anti-Anxiety Massage 🐾 Neuromuscular Massage 🐾 Gentle Acupressure & Energy Work 🐾 Non-Evasive Joint, Hip & Spine Health 🐾 Spa Treatments 🐾 Nutritional Consultations 🐾 Personal Meal Planning 🐾 Cooking & Meal Prep It is my passion to help the K9 (and Human) collective by bringing a much needed resolve, relief and healing, especially those with PTSD. This is built upon a holistic & integrated approach of Mindful Therapy to elevate natural movement, which is proven to bring the K9 Psycho-Physiology & Psycho-Spiritual back to wholeness & oneness. I have a Master's Degree in Ayurvedic Science (India's medical practice), with a second Master's Degree in Buddhist Psychology, focusing on spiritually oriented contemplative healing modalities from Yogic and Buddhist philosophies as they intersect with Western psychology. I'm certified in the Canine Bowen Technique, and have also studied with Duke University, Dog Emotion and Cognition; and with The University of Edinburgh on Animal Behaviour and Welfare. I currently work from home, so any daily needs or loneliness is inherently resolved. Due to the nature of my work as an Alternative Health Practitioner, Multi-Modality Therapist, and now creating my own Apothecary, I am home a lot, and rarely go out except for hikes, social time, and Jiu Jitsu. My home is ideal for pet guests, it has the space, and I live on a very quiet cul de sac with a huge yard. I'm also literally 1 mile from Fletcher park where I walk or jog Joy daily.
