Our approach to massage of animals
Lisa understands that each massage session is different and your dog has his own unique needs. When she comes into your home where your pet is most comfortable, she will spend time to connect with your dog to provide for their uniquely specific needs. We will discuss your dog's history to include previous injuries or surgeries, etc.., current concerns, sensitive areas, exercise routine and diet.

Acupressure
What is Acupressure?
Acupressure is an ancient healing act developed over 5,000 years ago, using the fingers to gradually work key points on the body. It is a form of physiotherapy that indulges in massage and stimulation of precise points on the body. It helps to restore, replenish and maintain the natural harmony and balance needed in animal and human to support optimal health and well-being. Animals are highly attuned to acupressure
Lisa is certified in Traditional Chinese Medicine acupressure and studied Five Element Theory. Lisa uses several TCM assessment methods, such as Association Point Assessment and the "Four Examination" to determine which acupressure points to work specific to the needs of your dog.
What is the difference between Acupressure and Acupuncture?
Acupuncture and Acupressure use the same pressure points and meridians, but acupuncture employs needles and acupressure uses gentle to firm finger pressure in a non-invasive way. It is a great option for dogs that can not tolerate needles and is easily incorporated in massage.
What are the benefits of Acupressure?
"Maintenance sessions" will depend on the animal but will vary between once every one to four weeks for a health animal. Acupressure is also used to relieve specific conditions both acute and chronic; the number of sessions will vary depending on health, age, lifestyle and genetics of the animal.
