about me
Studies
I completed my training as a therapeutic dog masseuse at Ebcsont Odú in 2016. In addition to massage, I also took courses in Therapeutic Dog Taping, Reflexology, and Canine Acupressure at the same organization. Furthermore, I am a naturopath (acupressurist, bioenergetic practitioner), Touch for Health kinesiologist, and a human masseur. I have been studying natural remedies for years. I believe that with this knowledge, we can initiate the body’s self-healing processes to create a balanced state..
basics
about the massage
The therapeutic dog massage is primarily based on the elements of classical Swedish massage and Thai massage. The therapy itself can be performed based on a veterinary diagnosis under the professional supervision of a veterinarian.
What is Swedish massage? A mechanical stimulus applied manually to the surface of the body for therapeutic purposes, which triggers the body’s self-healing mechanism.
The general effects:
Normalization of heart rate, regulation of blood pressure, optimization of breathing, improvement of muscle performance, normalization of metabolic processes.

For me, massage is not solely a mechanical impact. The body (both in dogs and humans) contains invisible energy channels. During a massage, we also interact with these channels, and understanding them is essential in order to achieve a much more comprehensive effect. Animals respond incredibly quickly to impulses in their energy system. Therefore, in addition to massage, remarkable results can be achieved through reflexology, acupressure, and energy treatments. I also use Safe Laser treatments to accelerate cell regeneration.
Certainly, there are cases when massage is not recommended (contraindications):
- In acute conditions.
