Welcome to Four Balanced Paws

Holistic Wellness for You & Your Pets

At Four Balanced Paws I strive to provide holistic pet care that is tailored to each pet's individual needs. I am a pet professional offering a wide range of services including reiki for animals and their people, dog massage, cold laser, aroma therapy and more. My goal is to ensure that your beloved pet is living balanced and healthy life.

REIKI

Reiki is a Japanese relaxation technique that balances the energy systems of the body. Being in balance creates a sense of well being and allows the body to heal naturally.

I use a system called Let the Animals Lead ® Method of reiki. Unlike Western Reiki, which uses laying of hands, this method does not require me to touch the animal. This in turn allows me to work with rescued or traumatized animals, wild animals or animals that are too delicate to touch.

Releases stress and trauma.
Create calm
Aide and speed up healing.
Better sleep.
Helps with behavior issues.
Prefect for dogs in palliative or hospice care.

I offer Reiki sessions for animals and people. I have found that animals receive benefit from just being with their person during a reiki session. Becoming more relaxed and at ease.

Reiki sessions are available in person in Upstate, SC or distantly anywhere in the world.

MASSAGE & MORE

Massage & more is a combination of techniques, cold laser/red light therapy, vibrational therapy and essential oils.

Canine massage is a therapeutic technique involving the manipulation of a dog's soft tissues, such as muscles and connective tissues, to promote relaxation, reduce muscle tension, and enhance overall well-being.

Cold laser and red light therapy can help with inflammation and reducing pain.

Veterinary Consultation: Before starting any form of massage therapy for a dog, it's crucial to consult with a veterinarian. A vet can assess the dog's overall health, identify any underlying issues, and determine whether massage is an appropriate complementary therapy.

Owner Involvement: In some cases, dog owners may be taught basic massage techniques to use at home. This year I will be adding Learn to Massage Your Dog classes. If you are interested please stay in touch.

Massage and more is done in the comfort of your home.

These services are not a replacement for veterinary care. If your pet is displaying any issues please consult with your vet.

Our Clients Say

Suzanne is amazing. She made sure my 12.5 yr golden retriever was comfortable and worked around her needs. By the end of the session my pup was giving her kisses and she doesn't just give those to anyone. I could tell a noticable difference in her that evening and the next day she played with her brother for the first time in weeks. I highly recommend.
