Dog Massage and Reiki
Dog massage is “the touch of the physical and energetic body with the intention and purpose of healing.” Massage can improve your dogs’ physical/emotional balance holistically. By working on their muscles and skin, it increases the circulation of blood and lymph to help them heal and ease physical fatigues quickly. It also works to rebalance the energy flow that affects their emotional/mental state. Positive interaction with a trained pet massage practitioner can enhance your dog’s physical and mental well-being.
Reiki along with massage when needed. Reiki is another energy-based technique that promotes stress reduction and relaxation, as well as physical healing, by regaining the balance of natural positive energy. Reiki can be done with or without touching the dog, with no harmful effects. This allows the dog to benefit from her session even if your dog is afraid of being touched by a person.
Each session can be tailored for your dog with only massage, only Reiki, or a combination of both as you and your dog prefer and/or need. A session would be from a few minutes to about 30 minutes, depending on your dog’s acceptance and need.

For first-time clients

Once they know the practitioner as well as the massage/Reiki, they will get to look more comfortable and settled. Give them time!
