As a licensed massage practitioner, I work with both humans and animals. My experience includes several years as a veterinary technician and working in wildlife rehabilitation. I have more than 20 years of experience working with dogs to help them reach higher levels of performance and health. I have owned and trained several breeds of dogs and shown in obedience, tracking, retriever trials, herding and agility. I also have extensive experience with cats, and wildlife of many species. I have taught animal bodywork techniques and canine sports massage nationally and internationally.
Massage and other bodywork techniques are not a replacement for medical care for your animal. Martha's work complements the care given by your veterinarian. In fact, Martha works closely with many veterinarians and is available for consultation upon request.
