My name is Helena and I am based in North Somerset and cover this and surrounding areas including Bristol and Bath. I completed the Clinical Canine Massage Practitioner Course having studied under Natalie Lenton and her team of tutors at the Canine Massage Therapy Centre. I am trained in:
• Swedish Massage

• Myofascial Release (both direct and indirect)
• Deep Tissue Massage
• Manual Lymphatic Drainage
• Trigger Point Release
• The Lenton Method®
I work from home which I shared with my two dogs a Shih-Tzu cross Cavalier King Charles who first got me interested in canine massage and a working Golden Retriever. I have experience with both small and large breeds and I treat all dogs with respect, empathy and kindness.

Client Comments
Oscar’s movement was massively improved after the sessions, he is walking better and does not have much of a limp. He seems in a lot less pain than before when he does a lot of exercise. Before the massage he would limp or seem in pain/discomfort when he had done a lot of movement within the day, he would also always run with one of his legs slighted twisting inwards. He now does have this anywhere near as much and he seems happier and able to move with a bit more ease

Millie was slowing down on walks and most days didn’t want to go for a walk, pottering around the garden was enough for her. With each session Helena did I could see Millie being more willing to be active. After we finished 3 sessions my sofa surfing dog went all the way up Pen y Fan in Wales and absolutely smashed it. She started to run and was asking for walks again

Before: Occasional limp, regular stiffness, use of pain meds and reduced exercise; After: More active, no use of pain meds, less stiffness, no limping, more “puppy-like – results exceeded my expectations
