Welcome to Four Balanced Paws
Holistic Wellness for Your Pet
In The Comfort of Your Home
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.

Consultations: 30-minute and 1 hour phone or Zoom consultations on holistic and natural pet care. With 20+ years of experience in holistic health, including massage, reiki, herbal remedies, raw feeding, and natural pet care, I tailor recommendations to enhance your dog's well-being. Each consultation includes a detailed written follow-up on your pet's holistic health journey.
If your pet is experiencing any physical or emotional issues please consult with your veterinarian.
​
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.

Q: What is Reiki and how can it benefit my pet at Four Balanced Paws?A: Reiki is a form of energy healing that originated in Japan. At Four Balanced Paws, I specialize in using Reiki to promote the overall wellness of both pets and their owners. Reiki works by channeling positive energy into the recipient's body to activate the natural healing processes, which can help reduce stress, alleviate pain, and improve overall well-being. For animals, Reiki can be particularly beneficial in addressing issues such as anxiety, injuries, chronic conditions, and behavioral problems. By providing a calming and non-invasive method of healing, Reiki helps pets to relax, stimulates their natural healing abilities, and enhances their quality of life. If you're interested in holistic wellness options for yourself your pet, Reiki sessions at Four Balanced Paws can be an excellent addition to their care regimen.

Q: How can massage help my dog?A: At Four Balanced Paws, I understand the holistic benefits that a well-rounded wellness routine can bring to your canine companion. Canine massage is a vital aspect of my holistic therapy services. It offers numerous benefits such as reducing anxiety and stress, enhancing flexibility, and improving overall circulation. Massage therapy can help alleviate pain from chronic conditions such as arthritis, support faster recovery from injuries, and improve the immune system by stimulating lymphatic drainage. It can be a great help for older/aging dogs. As a certified canine massage therapist I am trained to tailor each session to meet your dog's specific needs, ensuring a personalized and healing experience for your furry friend.

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.

It All Started With A Dog
Animal Reiki, Canine Massage, Cold Laser Therapy and More
​
In 2013, my world shifted.
That was the year my sweet boy Walter was diagnosed with prostate cancer and given just six months to live. No one ever wants to hear that kind of news — it’s like the floor drops out from under you. But thankfully, we had a vet who was more than just traditional. She practiced integrative medicine, blending the best of Western veterinary care with Traditional Chinese Medicine, including herbs, acupuncture, and massage.
Looking back, that was the beginning of everything.
Driven by the need to help Walter in every way I could, I immersed myself in holistic healing. That same year, I became a Certified Canine Massage Therapist and a Healing Touch for Animals Practitioner. I truly believe those modalities — combined with good food, herbs, and the care of our amazing vet — helped Walter not only stay comfortable but actually thrive for four more beautiful years.
Through massage, we released his muscular tension. With Healing Touch, we supported his energy and opened the pathways in his body. And by listening to what he needed, we were able to walk a different path than the one we were told was inevitable.
Walter guided me here. He gave me a purpose I hadn’t known was waiting.
Today, I carry that purpose with me in everything I do. Through my work, I now offer canine massage, energy work, and holistic support to dogs and their humans who are looking for a gentler, more connected way to heal. Walter’s journey became mine — and I’m honored to walk this road now with others.
Thank you, Walter. For everything.
