Hi, I’m Rachel and I’m so excited that you’re interested in canine massage! This is an emerging field with countless physical and emotional benefits for your best doggy friend.
I feel extremely thankful to do this work - I’ve always worked with animals but this is by far my favorite modality. My degree is in animal science from NC State and I have years of experience as a vet tech. When I stumbled across this field, though, I knew it was special. I completed my training through
Canis Bodyworks, an immersive hands-on program, and am certified by the
National Board of Certification for Animal Acupressure and Massage. Techniques I practice include relaxing Swedish strokes, trigger point therapy and myofascial work, orthopedic friction, energy work, and manual lymphatic drainage. Through massage I can connect with your dog, understand their needs, and help them live their best life.
