Meet Laura - Your Practitioner
I’ve been dedicated to the well being of animals since 2006 when I started working in animal rescue. It was these years that led me to the practice of holistic medicine for animals.
Research has shown that over the past 10 years, people have become more health conscious and are seeking a more natural lifestyle. Over 30 million dollars per year is spent on alternative treatments such as acupuncture, chiropractic care, herbal medicine, aromatherapy, acupressure, yoga and massage. These same people are now choosing similar types care for their pets.
While alternative care in not a replacement for traditional veterinary care, many people choose to incorporate some type of alternative care with traditional veterinary care.
Just as with humans, massage is soothing and calming. It is a great modality to help our pets relax, which can lead to a reduction in stress and the negative effects stress can have on the body. So often we don't think about the effects that stress and anxiety can have on ourselves, let alone our animals. Massage provides a safe, natural, noninvasive method of maintaining your dog's health and well being.
Massage therapy can also help your pet recover from an injury.
Not only do I love bringing the joy of relaxation and wellness to animals, I also enjoy helping pet owners understand their pet's bodies and discover the gentle power of the healing arts.
My Purpose
Massage is far more than just petting your animal and goes beyond pampering. Massage enhances the quality of life. Massage can help your animal as a whole (mind, body and spirit) by putting the body back in balance.
Peaceful Paws is an insured mobile animal massage service. Sessions are provided in the comfort and familiarity of your pet's home. I personalize and tailor each session based upon your pet's medical history, intake form, your concerns and what I observe and feel during the initial visit. I am also certified in pet CPR & first aid.
I trained at the Ojai School of Animal Massage in Ojai, California under founder, Nick Scott. Nick Scott has been pivotal in helping to develop the profession of canine massage and is an established authority in the field.
I am also a Green Compass animal CBD advocate. Green Compass pet CBD tinctures and treats are all-natural, non GMO, vegan friendly and cruelty free. For more information on these products and to order, click here.
