Experience

I have over 30 years of experience in the veterinary industry and bring a wealth of knowledge, skills and hands-on experience to my service. The real reason I do what I do is I have a passion for dogs and enhancing a dog’s quality of life, optimal health, happiness, performance and longevity. I got into Massage for natural pain relief options that are often effective for mild to moderate pain, with or without other pain medications.

Helping your dog through massage

The real reason I do what I do is I have a passion for dogs and enhancing a dog’s quality of life, optimal health, happiness, performance and longevity. I got into Massage for natural pain relief options that are often effective for mild to moderate pain, with or without other pain medications. I have noticed some of the problems most dog owners face.

I believe Massage can realign and re-balance our dog patients’ physical and emotional well-being. If this sounds like your dog and what your dog would benefit from, please get in touch.

What dog owners say

“Our Tenterfield Terrier Rosie is 13. She suddenly developed issues that caused her to not want to put weight on one of her legs, or when she did, she had a severe limp. It was clear she was in a lot of pain. Genevieve assessed how Rosie was walking and moving around and gave us some tips on how we can reduce the impact on her aging body. Then throughout Rosie’s massage, Genevieve identified and worked on a number of tight spots and pain points. By the end of the massage Rosie was walking more easily and within a couple of days, she was greatly improved. Since then she has had some additional massages and now she is able to move well and without any signs of pain or discomfort. I can’t recommend Genevieve highly enough. She is highly skilled and is able to connect with dogs in a way I’ve not witnessed before. It’s wonderful to know we have someone who loves and cares for dogs like Genevieve does on Rosie’s care team.”

LINDA

“Genevieve is amazing!! Our eldest dog was having joint issues and was clearly in a lot of discomfort. We noticed a difference within just a few sessions and now with maintenance he is doing sooooo much better. She is gentle, caring, intuitive and really knows her stuff. My dogs are so relaxed after their treatments! Thank you, Gen.”

ANTHEA

“Genevieve is truly wonderful at her work. My 11.5 year old dog adores his sessions, and they have been such a relief for him. He and Genevieve have a beautiful trusting relationship and I couldn’t recommended her higher.”

SALLY

“Our experience with Genevieve has been top notch! 2 dogs with CCL tears within weeks of each other caused us as owners a lot of despair however with the help of Gen, our dogs were back on track and healed better from their surgery in conjunction with their massages. Awesome advice on how to maintain our dogs health into their later years (already 9 & 10) has been so valuable. Love the holistic approach. Would highly recommend Genevieve!”

LAUREN

“I have found that Genevieve’s therapy is synergistic with the medical treatments I prescribe my patients. Her thorough, gentle, experienced approach has been life changing…make that life-saving, to my patients. I value having Genevieve’s expertise at hand and know that my patients and I are privileged that she offers her myotherapy services. The therapy Genevieve provides, assists me to treat the root cause of the patient’s ailments and provides them with comfort and mobility. In turn I have observed that our patients have a far greater quality of life and longevity.”

DR MEGHAN SCRIVENS

“My own dog, now well into her grey muzzled years, has been more youthful, more mobile and relaxed with Genevieve’s therapy. I have been able to reduce her prescription anti-inflammatory and pain medication thanks to Gen’s therapy!”

HAPPY CLIENT

“I value honesty, integrity and competence in those I work alongside, and Genevieve is an exemplar of these traits. It’s not just having faith in her abilities but knowing that she is fully qualified and experienced in providing therapy that truly works! I only wish I could have come across Genevieve’s therapy earlier in my career so that I could enable a more holistic approach to the management and care of my patients.”

VETERINARIAN

“Genevieve has a gentle, soothing touch for each of her patients. Each patient is provided with a unique, dedicated treatment plan for which I’ve witnessed both the positive effects she has in reducing the symptoms of the patients concerns as well as the patient relaxing beneath her healing hands.”

VETERINARIAN

“Genevieve has always been generous with her time; ensuring that each patient receives the treatment required without rushing the process. This extends to her clients, in tha Genevieve takes the time to discuss the issues their loved pet has and also cognise how and why her therapy will aide in the pets recovery and management, all in a way that the client can understand.”

VETERINARIAN

“One of my dear geriatric patients, clearly demonstrated the benefits of Genevieve’s therapy. Rosie was in cancer remission for several years and had been receiving treatment for arthritis and with Genevieve’s therapy I am pleased to write, was still able to move fluidly; requiring minimal pharmaceutical intervention.”
