I initially trained in human massage, sports injury and therapeutic, some 26 years ago.  I ended up working in different industries before landing in my long term present career role. 

Our British Bulldog started presenting with an intermittent limp when he was 2.5 years old.  Concerned as to why this was for such a young dog, I decided to merge my human massage experience and retrain in canine massage.  Galen Myotherapy is internationally recognised, with schools in various countries.  It took me 1.5 years of study to become qualified.  As for our Caswell’s limp – it turned out he was too fat!  He lost a little weight and the limp went.  Knowledge is power!

It is important to continue learning development.  As a member of IAAT (International Association of Animal Therapies) and membership with Galen Myotherapy, I am required to fulfil 25 hours of CPD to maintain membership.

 

I also hold insurance with Pet Business Insurance, policy number ACE006863
