Hello, my name is Rachael Reid and I live in Camborne Cornwall, with my partner Mike and our 3 collies Ollie, Tilly and Indy. I’ve owned dogs for 20 years, have competed in agility for 18 years and have tried my hand at Hoopers and Flyball.

 

Why Canine Massage?

I first came across Canine Massage in 2013 when Ollie had a free muscular health check from a guild member at an agility show, as he seemed uncomfortable when jumping and had knocked several jump poles. Ollie went on to have 3 full massage sessions and I was astounded by the improvements that I saw, so much so, that I signed up for a one day massage course run by the Canine Massage Therapy Centre. I didn’t need any further convincing that massage has huge benefits for dogs – I was hooked! Having seen first-hand with Ollie, the improvements I could make with this small amount of knowledge, I realised that I wanted to be able to help other dogs as well, and have since completed the 2 year Clinical Canine Massage Practitioners Course.

 

I feel very lucky to be able to work with dogs, helping to improve their flexibility, movement and overall quality of life.
