My background is in canine behaviour, working closely with dogs and their owners in everyday situations. Over time, I started to notice how often behaviour is influenced by how a dog feels physically, not just emotionally.


My journey into canine myotherapy really started with my own dog, who was struggling physically at times. Wanting to understand what she was feeling — and how to help — led me to look more closely at the body.
I was also seeing similar patterns in the dogs I worked with, where discomfort was often part of the picture. Studying the Galen Myotherapy Diploma allowed me to support dogs in a more complete, practical way.

Through Your Whole Dog, I aim to support dogs in a way that brings together both body and behaviour. My focus is on helping dogs feel more comfortable, move more freely, and supporting owners to better understand what their dog may be experiencing.
I also value working alongside vets and other professionals to ensure each dog gets the support they need.
