Who I Am and What I Offer:

Hello, my name is Lori Alexander and I am excited to be able to offer bodywork sessions for your companion animal! Bodywork sessions consist of massage, acupressure, and Reiki individually tailored to your pet's needs.

My connection to animals has been the guiding force of my life and I am thrilled to be able to impact their lives in this positive way.

Experienced Knowledge:

My certifications in Small Animal Massage & Small Animal Acupressure were earned at the Northwest School of Animal Massage.

It’s my belief that animals deserve our protection, guidance, care, and love. It would be my privilege to help your companion animal with immune-enhancing and stress-reducing massage and acupressure.

Why Massage?

...Why not? Have you had a massage? If not, get one!

The physical, emotional, and health aspects of receiving a massage are well-known; animal bodies and minds are affected in the same way.

Most pet parents say they can see a difference in their companion animal’s well-being after just a few massages.

Below are just some of the benefits massage brings:

Reduces anxiety & calms the nervous system
Increases circulation & promotes healing
Improves flexibility & range of motion
Promotes joint health & function
Boosts the immune system
Increases emotional well-being
Soothes the Autonomic Nervous System
Improves blood circulation, increases oxygen, & releases toxins
Relieves sore muscles, stiffness
Stimulates healthy skin & coat
Can detect early signs of disease or injury

Why Acupressure?

Like massage, acupressure is a complementary modality that uses noninvasive and pain-free techniques that balance the energy. With your veterinarian's approval, it can be an effective remedy alongside their diagnosis and treatment.

Acupressure is a different form of Acupuncture using fingers/thumbs and the practitioner's intention to stimulate the acupoints instead of needles.

Below are just some of the benefits acupressure brings:

Reduces allergy symptoms
Helps manage chronic pain
Calms gastrointestinal issues
Supports recovery from surgery
Creates a sense of well-being
Boosts the immune system
Eases the pain & stiffness brought on by arthritis
