Bowen Therapy & Acupressure

Each session begins with a thorough assessment of your pet’s spine. From there, I use a combination of acupressure points and/or Bowen moves to release tension, address energetic and physical imbalances.

Bowen Therapy releases the spine and skeleton via a gentle myofascial soft tissue technique. These cross-fiber rolling moves are usually very relaxing for animals, and extremely effective for musculoskeletal tension and postural alignment. Over the years, I have seen animals respond to Bowen in profound ways.

Acupressure is an effective way to relieve pain, bringing comfort to your dog. It is based on Acupuncture but instead of using needles, I use finger pressure to help unblock meridians and get chi flowing. I find it very effective for older dogs who can be quite sensitive and body sore and who may not tolerate a full Bowen session.

I offer Lymphatic drainage for dogs with chronic skin issues, allergies and toxic load, overweight dogs or dogs who just need a ‘pick me up’. These sessions help to re-set the pelvis and TMJ and can also be helpful for dogs with neurological issues.

These gentle, hands-on techniques help to support the body’s natural ability to heal, freeing up movement, restoring mobility and comfort.

Nutrition

The ancestral diet for pets is one that respects their biology as it closely mirrors the foods they would consume in the wild. Dogs and cats have evolved over millennia with specific dietary needs, and honoring these needs through species-specific wholefood nutrition can help prevent disease, reduce inflammation, and support optimal function across every system in the body. When carefully planned and balanced, a natural diet can be transformative and one of the most effective ways to promote the health and happiness of our carnivorous companions. This is a very self empowering process for pet parents.
