I cannot recommend Lava enough! She is truly gifted and incredibly intuitive. From the moment she arrived, she explained everything she was doing and why, which immediately put me at ease. She was able to identify the exact type of energy my dogs were holding before I even mentioned anything, and it was clear she deeply understood their needs.
My dogs felt so safe and comfortable with her, and I could instantly see the difference in their relaxation and movement after each session. The effects of her massage work were undeniable.
What impressed me even more was her compassion and responsiveness. When we were out of town and our dog suddenly had trouble walking, she came to our home right away to care for him. Thanks to her, he recovered quickly and comfortably.
She is truly a blessing for any pet parent looking to support their dog’s wellness. I’d give her 10 stars if I could! 🐾💛”
Therapy for Papi
Our Dog Papi is a little worrier. While he is good natured, he has a tendency to be a little skeptical about people he doesn't know. He also has a hard time sitting still.
We brought him to Lavanya to see if we could get him a therapeutic massage to help with his anxiety and also to help with musculoskeletal system since he very muscular.
Lavanya immediately connected with him. She did a full body massage and found several areas that needed a little extra work. She pointed out a few spots that really had a calming effect on him and how we could help improve his health.
I would fully recommend Lavanya. She really cares about dogs and it shows. Papi responded well to her and I'm definitely taking him back to her. ”

Massage for Louie
Thank you so much for bestowing your most wonderful expertise upon my senior dog Louie, almost 13 years old.
My baby had been attacked by an enormous dog a couple of weeks before your incredibly skilled & magical session with her.
Your extraordinary work with Louie helped her move through her trauma, bringing her back to her joyful self… with a spring to her step & resuming her energetic self.

Lava is fantastic. She has a great intuition for different personalities; she’s been patient with my insecure puppy AND knows exactly how to manage my high-drive adult dog.
She takes the job seriously, cares about the results, and explains her treatment with detailed notes. Highly recommend her, especially for performance dogs; her knowledge is a huge asset.
“I loved my massage sessions with Lavanya. I enjoyed walking, but due to my age, I was having a harder time getting around. Lavanya came to my rescue and through her massage techniques, I improved my flexibility and was able to continue walking. I thoroughly enjoyed the massage sessions I had as it improved my quality of life.”

“My introduction to Lavanya was through a couple acupressure sessions. It took me awhile to calm down as I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Lavanya, but once she started working with me, I relaxed and felt energy from the different acupressure techniques. The nice thing was she explained what she was doing and the impact each action had on my health to my owners. She wanted to pass on her knowledge so they could continue to work with me.”
– Jenny, 4 year old retriever mix.
I met Lavanya over 6 years ago when I trained to walk dogs at the local shelter. We remained in contact and when we saw each other always talked about our dogs and their health. Lavanya’s passion was focused on improving the life and longevity of her dog partner Boomer. Through her pursuit of additional training and certification in both canine massage and acupressure, she has taken her passion to a new level by now providing two unique services that can improve the health and longevity of our pets. She is a fantastic resource for anyone that cares and wants to learn more about being responsible dog owners.
