Dog Massage Therapy Clients

Diva
16 year old English Setter who benefitted by massage therapy from Alana Stevenson, Boston, Massachusetts“Alana brought great pain relief and increased mobility and flexibility to our 16 year old English Setter, Diva.”

She is frail, wobbly, senile, deaf and mostly blind, but Alana quickly allayed Diva’s anxieties with her gentle patience and skillfully found the trigger points and sore muscles contributing to her pain and skewed posture. I recommend Alana’s massage therapy for any pet, old or young, with neuromuscular issues.

Scooter, Ranger & Nia
Three miniature schnauzers lying on dog beds after dog massage with Alana Stevenson, New Hampshire“…I felt as if I were meditating.”

Alana helped me to really understand the massage techniques and ensure that I was safely massaging my dogs. By the end of the session, Scooter was pushing up to me asking for more. The training session was so relaxing and calming for me to massage my pets that I felt as if I were meditating.

Ziva
John Barbush and Ziva massage testimonial“I was impressed with Alana’s knowledge.”

Alana came highly recommended. I hired her to massage my 80 pound black lab, Ziva. I was impressed with Alana’s knowledge and Ziva took to her immediately. My wife and I now massage Ziva daily. I never really believed massage therapy could change a dog’s behavior, but it’s incredible to watch how massage calms Ziva down even when it’s over. ~ John Barbush & Ziva, Illinois

Harry & Clarabelle
Alana Stevenson's clients massaging their two dogs, an English Bulldog and a Maltese, Massachusetts“Luckily, we found Alana. It was the best decision we made.”

We have a 9 year old English Bulldog, Harry, who has painful joints and difficulty moving. We also have a 2 year old Maltese, Clarabelle, who barks a lot and is very anxious around new people and visitors coming to our house and we were looking for help on how to deal with her barking and anxiety. Luckily, we found Alana. It was the best decision we made. She came to our house and worked with us on behavior modification techniques and helped us better understand why Clarabelle acted the way she did. She made us more mindful of our own body language around Clarabelle and taught us how to interpret both Clarabelle’s and Harry’s body language in different situations to better understand them.

Alana taught us massage techniques that helped Harry get better range of motion and feel less pain and helped Clarabelle to calm down and relax. Harry and Clarabelle have greatly enjoyed our new skills!

Alana is patient, knowledgeable, caring and respectful and was generous with her time. We highly recommend Alana for any one who cares about the wellbeing of their animals!
