The Heart of Paws & Unwind

At the heart of Paws & Unwind, it is my commitment to provide personalized care, ensuring every dog receives the attention and support they need for optimal well-being.

Who I am

Hi, I’m Jocelyn!

I’m a certified and insured Caninology® Canine Body Worker (CCBW) and a member of IEWBA. Being a Registered Massage Therapist since 2015, my passion for helping humans extended naturally to dogs, especially my own. Dogs have been a HUGE passion of mine, ever since I was young.

I grew up with German Shepherds until about 5 years of age and now have an Australian Cattle Dog named Cache. I’ve witnessed firsthand the importance of canine care with all of them. Cache, a “special needs” dog, opened my eyes to the physical demands of dog sports and the importance of bodywork. Especially after his back injury in 2019 and then a unilateral TPLO surgery in 2024. I wanted not only to help him, but realized that I want to help any and all dogs of any breed or mix, age and activity level.

Post TPLO surgery, I witnessed firsthand the trauma he endured, with severe swelling and bruising. This experience has taught me, and continues to teach me valuable lessons about his body. From the pain and the recovery process to deepening my understanding of canine health. I’m grateful to have the knowledge to care for him and support his healing process. Dogs, like humans, are often stoic about their discomfort, making regular bodywork essential for their well-being.

My mission is simple: to help all dogs, regardless of breed, age, or activity level. Helping them to live their best lives through tailored bodywork. Your pet’s dog’s wellness is my priority and passion.
