Bio

The Doggy Zen Den, Meditation for You and Your Dog and For the Love of Hope Dog Massage were both founded and developed by me after many years of working with shelter animals both in Canada and the U.S. I was driven from a very young age by my compassion for animals. As I grew older I sought to provide a service to animals that would encompass personal touch, love and health benefits.

I have dedicated my practice to my mother, Hope, who believed that every animal has a story to tell and a lesson to teach, you just need to learn how to listen.

I believe I have made her proud and feel that I have honored her vision through my ability to serve animals through meditation, energy and personal touch.

I started For the Love of Hope Dog Massage in Toronto and have been highly successful, teaching seminars and workshops to dozens of dog owners. While my practice is inclusive of all dogs, I have focused a majority of my efforts on working with senior and show/agility dogs. I received my canine massage training in the states from Midwest Natural Healing for Animals and have attended certification courses in Bach Flower Remedies for Animals, Pet First Aid and Canine Behavior. I currently runs The Senior Dog Blog at http://theseniordogblog.blogspot.com/ I am also the organizer and founder of a Toronto based meetup group called For the Love of Dogs http://www.meetup.com/For-the-Love-of-Dogs-Dog-Massage-Stretching-Meetup/

I have registered over 400 hours of hands on experience working with dogs in a massage and stretching capacity and service clients from Oshawa to Burlington. I am a dedicated yearly participant of Slobberfest in The Beaches and will be highlighting my services at Woofstock this year. Along with my CMP skills I am also certified as an Animal Reiki Practitioner (ARP). I received by certification from Rowanwood Reiki in Oshawa, Ontario. I am a current member of the Animal Wellness Association.

Currently, I host 3 weekly Meditation for You and Your Dog sessions, one of which incorporates the use of simple massage techniques. All are guided meditations which include soothing music, holistic doggie treats at the end of class and fresh water for you and your pup.
