About Me
Passionate about restoring mobility and improving the lives of dogs through clinical massage therapy.
Hello, I'm Ali
I live in Chippenham, Wiltshire, with my husband and two collies, Olive and Izzy.
I have always had a deep love for dogs and have had lots of fun with my girls over the years, being involved in activities such as canicross, agility and man trailing.
My journey into clinical massage began when Olive reached middle age, and I felt she needed a bit of support to relieve stiffness after her runs. I have always enjoyed a massage myself, and a quick internet search showed that it was also a "thing" for dogs. However, Olive has never enjoyed being touched by other people so before I knew it I found myself signed onto a one day Beginner's course with Natalie Lenton from the Canine Massage Therapy Centre! I was immediately hooked and went on to train professionally by completing the full two-year Clinical Canine Massage Practitioner Programme.
This rigorous course covers anatomy, physiology, and orthopaedic conditions, with training given in four massage disciplines (Swedish Massage, Sports Massage, Myofascial Release, and Deep Tissue Massage). It also includes training in the unique Lenton Method™ of canine massage therapy. You can learn more about this wonderful therapy on the Home page.
Massage is suitable for almost every dog, be they young and active, recovering from injury or a golden oldie entering their twilight years.
My goal is simple: to help your dog live a pain-free, happy, and active life for as long as possible.
