About the Therapist

Growing up, I watched my Dad ease my Mums’ pain through regular but untrained massage. The medical professionals had failed to support her, disregarded her concerns, and left us as a family feeling very much alone.
Adopting Eva in August 2014 gave me the confidence to enrol on a two-year massage practitioner programme. Throughout the training Eva guided me; helping me understand canine anatomy, allowing me to practice my developing skills, and responding with visible improvements.
She continues to teach me. Since I have had her she has been diagnosed with Spondylosis (in her spine) and has had two knee operations. Keeping her mobile and pain free is my top priority. But by working with her I have become an even better therapist.
I have clinics in Hemel Hempstead and Aylesbury and you can see me at many of the dog related shows in the area throughout the summer.

Client Comments
My little dog Leah is due for her second massage. I can’t believe the huge difference already after just one session. She is a happy dog again.

Well after only two sessions I saw a huge improvement in coco’s walking I’ve been going every month since. Coco no longer has any problems with his knees and we only go back to Karen for maintenance…I’m so grateful to Karen for everything she had done for coco so he can live a happy and active life. Thank you so much Karen you are one in a million

I found Karen about a year ago when I was looking for a massage therapist for my 2 spaniels, and I’m so glad I did! My dogs have had other therapists and didn’t really respond too well, but Karen made a HUGE difference in just the first session. Both dogs have more fluid movement, and their gait has improved, along with their sleep. Book an appointment – your dog will thank you for it.
