Testimonials

Laura and Loki (2 year old Border Collie)

Loki was diagnosed with lumbosacral instability after developing a bunny-hopping gait and showing reluctance to tump at agility.

It took Loki a while to work out that the massage was helping with his aches and pains, but when the penny dropped he became a very demanding client showing me exactly where needed attention!

After 3 weekly sessions Loki was able to resume his normal off-lead walks and agility training.

Loki was the spotlight dog in January 2025

Kevin and Meg (14 year old Border Collie)

Meg (Centre) is a tri-pawed girl having had her left hind leg amputated several years ago after an accident and subsequent infection.

She is still loving life but she was feeling very stiff, sore and tired due to all the muscles in and around her front legs having to work harder to compensate for her missing leg. Meg receives regular maintenance massages which combat all the aches and pains allowing her to enjoy life to the max and show the other dogs that she is still up for fun and adventure, especially if it involves a beach!

Meg was the spotlight dog in November 2024

Karen and Parsnip (17 month old Working Cocker Spaniel)

Parsnip has suffered from sudden onset lameness after slipping on a wet surface. Being a young dog she recovered quickly but both her owner and vet believed that a series of massage sessions would identify any lingering muscular injuries that Parsnip was hiding and get her back to full health ahead of her agility debut planned for 6 months after her first session,

Her owner was amazed not only at how quickly Parsnip settled but also the fact she dozed off and slept through most of her sessions!

Parsnip was the spotlight dog in September and October 2024

Sally & Finn (2 year old Hungarian Wirehaired Vizsla)

Finn is your typical high-energy, always on the go young male dog. His owner had noticed that he had an intermittent bunny-hopping and skipping gait.

Finn took to massage in a Jekyll and Hyde manner, for the duration of the sessions, and for a while after, his high energy persona vanished completely, he chilled out, relaxed and even dozed off once or twice too!

After three sessions the frequency and duration of his bunny-hopping / skipping gait had reduced significantly.

Finn was the spotlight dog in August 2024

Janice & Lexi (10 year old Hovawart)

After TPLO surgery to repair her cruciate ligament Lexi had had a general reduction in her overall flexibility, energy, enthusiasm, and activity levels. Lexi loved her massage sessions, the morning after her first session her owners described her as being like a puppy again, initiating play sessions, bouncing and running around. Since completing a series of three weekly sessions her flexibility has improved and her enthusiasm and general outlook on life has been restored.

Lexi was the spotlight dog in July 2024

Sally & Charlie (12 year old Labrador)

Hannah soothed the aches and pains of my very arthritic Labrador, Charlie has been a lot brighter after each session, wanting to go out on walks again when previously he hadn’t always wanted to get out of bed.

Charlie was the spotlight dog in June 2024

Rachel & Tom (14 year old Pappion)

Tom is moving a lot better now and is happy to go up and down the stairs, his appetite and energy levels have also increased. He has even started to cock his leg to pee again!

Tom was the spotlight dog in May 2024

Linda & Buddy (8 year old Jack Russell Terrier)

Having massage sessions from Hannah has really helped to calm Buddy down, he is now much less vociferous and far more at ease in situations he finds stressful such as the vets.

Buddy was the Spotlight dog in April 2024

Sylvia & Tom (10 year old large mixed-breed)

Tom thoroughly enjoyed his massage therapy sessions and has been much livelier and active since starting treatment, his cheeky nature has returned, and he is once more busy putting his nose into places where it shouldn’t be!

Tom was the Spotlight dog in March 2024
