Christchurch's only Fear Free
certified canine massage therapist & fitness trainer

Helping Christchurch dogs move better, recover faster and live happier lives through Fear Free massage, rehabilitation and fitness.

A mobile practice for dogs

Your dog is most comfortable at home – so the purpose of a mobile practice is to make life easy for both you and your dog.  I can see your dog’s normal living environment and suggest adjustments for their comfort.  I aim to make fitness and rehab exercises easy to do with minimal equipment so you are more likely to do the exercises with your dog – win!

A passionate supporter of complementary care options

I have combined my love of dogs with my science background to create this practice which focuses on care using acupressure massage, laser, trigger point, PEMF, tuning fork and exercise therapies.  All clients must provide vet records for their dog as a starting point and then we can look at care options – things like lifestyle and exercise, supplements, diet and physical changes to the home.  The basic rule of complementary care is “do no harm” and my services are not a substitute for traditional veterinary care.  2026 marks my 17th year in professional practice.
