I initially trained in human massage, sports injury and therapeutic, some 27 years ago.  I ended up working in different industries before landing in my long term present career role. 

Our British Bulldog (who we sadly lost at 9.5 years old in November 24) presented with an intermittent limp when he was 2.5 years old.  Concerned as to why in such a young dog, I decided to merge my human massage experience and retrain in canine massage.  Galen Myotherapy is internationally recognised, with schools across the globe.  It took me one and a half years to become qualified.  As for our Caswell’s limp – it turned out he was just too fat!  He lost a little weight and the limp went.  Knowledge is power!

As a member of IAAT (International Association of Animal Therapies) and Galen Myotherapy, I am required to fulfil 30+ hours of CPD to maintain professional membership status.

 

I also hold insurance with Pet Business Insurance, policy number ACE006863
