Massage is not a substitute for veterinary care.

I started Black Dog Massage in an effort to give something

back to the dogs, cats, and other animals who give so much to us.

When I took PetMassage (TM) training I thought - if nothing else -

if it helps my own dog and the cats with increased mobility and

aging gracefully, then it will be worth it. It does help them,

as well as the other dogs and cats I have been fortunate enough to work with.

I trained under Jonathan Rutinger at the PetMassage Institute in Toledo, Ohio.

I hold Reiki II certification as well as Divine Coding certification;

both are gentle forms of moving energy to balance the body and emotions.

I have also taken an animal communication workshop with Asia Voight in Madison, WI.

I am in the process of finishing the canine massage program

through Equissage to further my education.

My husband and I are blessed to live with five rescued/adopted

cats and one large, black, brilliant, silly, perfect adopted dog. My practice

is dedicated to Cirrus, who came to us from a shelter in

Sacramento in October, 2001. Each day with him is a precious gift.

Cirrus has one brown eye and one blue and is named for the

cirrus clouds that are like the latter. I heard once that very

special souls possess two different colored eyes, and he

certainly is the most special.

Cirrus was left anonymously in the dark of night in a steel box,

the shelter's night-drop. He was in the 5th or 6th building full of dogs.

He was sick and far past his euthanasia date but staff was too busy.

It was love at first site.
