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.

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 are a techniques 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.
Travel Charges
Travel to Pickens & Spartanburg Counties add $10. Other areas will be assessed by mileage.

It All Started With A Dog
Animal Reiki, Canine Massage, Cold Laser Therapy and More
My journey to become a holistic practitioner started in 2013 when my boy Walter was diagnosed with prostate cancer and given six months to live, a diagnosis of traditional medicine. Of course that is something no one wants to hear. With the help of my vet, who was an integrative vet, she was a vet that used traditional Western medicine but who was also open to use Traditional Chinese Medicine, including herbs, acupuncture, massage. That year I became a Certified Canine Massage Therapist and Healing Touch for Animals Practitioner. I believe these alternative practices allowed him to be comfortable and thrive over the next 4 years. By releasing muscular tension, supporting his body with herbs and good food, opening the energy pathways his body was able to support itself much longer than anyone thought.
I thank Walter for sending me on this path.
