Specialized Canine Care with the Certified and Passionate Dog Bodyworker
I’m a certified and insured Canine Body Worker (CCBW) and a member of IEWBA, with a background as a Registered Massage Therapist since 2015. My passion for helping people naturally extended to dogs, especially my own. My Australian Cattle Dog, Cache, has been a big part of this journey, particularly after his back injury and TPLO surgery. Through caring for him, I’ve seen firsthand the benefits of canine bodywork and how important it is for their well-being, regardless of breed or activity level. My mission is simple: to help all dogs live their best lives through tailored bodywork, ensuring their health and wellness are always a priority.

Jocelyn was a great help, my 9 year old lab was clearly not liking the weave poles and Jocelyn said she could help. She was very kind to take a look at her. Looses her up and spent more time on her then I thought.
Jocelyn had a soft and gentle was of getting started, making my dog feel like she could trust her. The next day my dog was back feeling good. She sprang into the weaves poles and I knew she was feeling great. I had my girl back, thanks to Jocelyn.
Cathy T
Jocelyn worked on my 2 year old Aussie who hurt his paw on a walk. She was able to handle him and explore his range of motion and find where he strained his paw.
She has a wonderful understanding and instinct about what an animal needs and is able to read the dogs and know how much they can handle in a treatment session. I would highly recommend you give her a try if your dog is in need of her care.
Trish D
Jocelyn worked on my 14 year old Boxer/Staffordshire mix Mia.
Jocelyn was great. She was patient, gentle and worked with Mia at a level that Mia was able to take. She knew Mia’s limitations and was able to judge when to push on, when to pull back and when Mia needed a break.
