About Me

It all started with a woman on the television at Crufts.

I watched a therapist talking about canine massage and something just clicked. I tracked down her course and trained with her directly —  that woman was Natalie Lenton, founder of the Canine Massage Therapy Centre.

That was about 10 years ago. I’ve never looked back.

I’ve shared my life with rescue dogs — Bella, Boxer, and now Tilly. That personal experience, combined with my professional training, means I understand your dog’s body and your emotional journey as an owner. I’ll always take the time to explain what I’m finding and how you can support your dog at home between sessions.

Every dog is different. Every session is too.

I come to you, working in your home where your dog feels safe and relaxed. Before I begin, I’ll ask questions about your dog’s history, lifestyle and movement. I’ll observe how they walk, where they hold tension, and what their body is telling me. Then we get to work.

It’s important to make sure your dog is in qualified hands. My two-year diploma with the Canine Massage Therapy Centre covered everything from advanced anatomy to orthopaedic conditions — so you can trust that your dog is receiving safe, expert care.
