Gentle sessions · Familiar surroundings
Personalised dog wellbeing sessions in Newcastle upon Tyne and the surrounding North East, with time to get to know your dog and respect their boundaries.
I use a blend of gentle techniques, including somatic techniques, light-touch acupressure and Reiki. Each session is adapted to your dog’s preferences and responses.
What happens next?
01 / Talk
Start with a conversation
Tell me about your dog, what you have noticed and what you would like support with. We can discuss my approach and any questions before booking.
02 / Prepare
Build a picture of your dog
Before the first session, you’ll complete a Dog Profile Form to help me understand their needs and plan a personalised visit.
03 / Settle
Follow your dog’s pace
A session lasts up to one hour in familiar surroundings. Your dog can move away, pause for water or settle nearby.
Questions about sessions
Does my dog have to stay still?
No. Sessions are guided by your dog’s cues and comfort. I observe their responses and adapt as we go, allowing breaks and space when they need it.
What does a session involve?
Depending on your dog’s preferences, I may work with my hands on their body, just above it, or at a distance. We’ll discuss the approach beforehand, and I’ll explain what I’m doing during the visit.
How often would we meet?
This depends on your dog’s individual needs. We can discuss a single session or ongoing care, reviewing the arrangement together as we go.
Can you support me as well as my dog?
Yes. Support for you can be discussed as part of your dog’s session, a separate session or a shared wellbeing package. You can also explore My Health Matters to learn about my work with people.
How does this fit with veterinary care?
These are complementary wellbeing sessions, not a replacement for veterinary assessment or treatment. Please discuss health concerns and any changes to medication or treatment with your vet.
