Canine Bodywork + Massage
Canine bodywork is hands-on, intentional work that supports how your dog moves, recovers, and feels in their body.
Whether your dog is an athlete, a senior, anxious, or quietly carrying tension, bodywork helps restore balance, comfort, and ease. It supports the nervous system, encourages healthy movement, and allows the body to release what it no longer needs to hold.
Bodywork meets your dog where they are — physically, emotionally, and energetically.
What to Expect During a Session
Every dog is different, and every session is guided by what your dog shows me that day.
Sessions move at your dog’s pace and may include:
A thorough health intake and discussion of your goals or concerns
Gait and posture observation
Hands-on assessment of muscles, joints, and movement patterns
Gentle, targeted massage techniques tailored to your dog
Time for rest, regulation, and integration
A post-session conversation with observations and simple home support suggestions if appropriate
Some dogs melt into the work immediately. Others take time to warm up. Both are completely normal.
New Client Assessment + Massage
This first appointment is designed to get to know your dog as a whole.
Dogs are experts at compensating and often hide discomfort until it becomes hard to ignore. This session allows me to observe movement, identify areas of tension, and begin hands-on bodywork in a way that feels safe and supportive.
Includes:
Full health intake and discussion
Gait and movement assessment
Soft tissue palpation
A customized massage session based on your dog’s needs
This session sets the foundation for future work and helps determine what ongoing support may be beneficial.

Short Session / Sensitive Dogs
Designed for puppies, some senior dogs, or dogs who are new to bodywork and need shorter, gentler sessions. These appointments focus on comfort, trust-building, and nervous system regulation.
