“After working for over 20 years with complex orthopedic and neurologic adult and pediatric patients, I am so very fortunate to be able to employ my skills toward canines and felines. Working with animals has many similarities to pediatric patients as much of the treatment methods and communication requires a true sense of calm, compassion and trust primarily via body language and manual skills. All of the dogs and cats I've seen are and always will be very special to me and I am so blessed to have crossed paths with them in life.

My hope is to continue to help animals achieve harmony and balance of the body through improved comfort and ease of motion for all life’s endeavors, whether walking through the backyard or running an agility course. As well, my goal is to continue to provide affordable Rehab services to clients and to assist owners in the education and management of their pet’s conditions while helping to improve and prolong their quality of life.”

“Far away there in the sunshine are
my highest aspirations,
I cannot reach them,
But I can look up, and see their beauty,
Believe in them,
And try to follow where they lead…..”

Louisa May Alcott
