Who is writing this?
My name is Cattie Coyle and I am a certified animal massage therapist and Reiki practitioner. I graduated from the Small Animal Massage program at the Bancroft School of Massage in Worcester in April of 2005 and started my own business, Nimble Limbs Animal Massage, at the same time.
Over the past three years, I have been contacted many times not only by pet owners looking for a massage therapist for their pet, but also by people who are interested in learning animal massage and/or wanting to start their own animal massage business or adding animal massage to their existing “human” massage business and are looking for advice.
While I am taking a break from my own animal massage business at the moment, mainly due to increasingly severe allergies, I decided to start this blog to put all the things I have learned about animal massage, alternative health for pets, and starting your own business in one place, as a resource for everyone to use.
I have a passion for alternative health, for both pets and people, and this blog will include more than “just” animal massage. I am planning to add a Practitioner Page, listing alternative pet health care practitioners all over the country, so if you are one of them and would like to be added (it’s free and you can put a link to your site in your listing), please contact me. I would also love to hear case studies, or your thoughts on massage or the alternative health modality you are practicing.
