Emilie had an entrepreneurial mind and love for animals from the age of 6/7 years old, when she had started a dog walking business. She then became a bit older to legally work, and worked for a dog groomer to ensure she had funds to help pay for the horse she owned growing up and her competitive eventing days. She had dreamed of becoming a veterinarian, but came to the realization that the math portion was not for her! That is when she set off into doing research on other avenues within the animal industry. After having a therapist out for her own horse, she was able to see the benefits of massage therapy first hand and decided this was the career for her. She had decided to set off to London, ON to attend the Equine Massage Therapy Program at D'Arcy Lane Institute (now under TriOS College), which happened to be the only school in North America that allows you to become registered with the International Federation of Registered Equine Massage Therapists (IFREMT).
Emilie successfully graduated from that 2200 hour EMT course through D'Arcy Lane / TriOS College and became Registered with the IFREMT in 2018. She currently sits on the board of directors for the IFREMT.
She then worked at a small animal clinic for many years, and has completed multiple canine/feline certifications. Certification courses such as; canine hydrotherapy, canine/feline veterinary nutrition, fear free, and a few more!
She proudly travels to offer multiple services to equine and canine patients all over Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, and PEI.
Massage therapy is the systematic manipulation of soft tissues to develop, maintain, rehabilitate/augment physical function and/or relieve pain.
Equine and canine massage therapy is a non-invasive approach that utilizes hands-on manual therapy with the use of different Swedish massage manipulations, and specialized techniques to help optimize the health and well-being of the companion.
Benefits include, but are not limited to: decreasing tension/scar tissue and adhesion formations, increasing circulation, decreasing waste products, increasing range of motion, and increasing the tissue health and overall performance.
Registered in 2018
Low Light Laser Therapy (LLLT), which is cold, uses light energy to work its "magic". The light used at different wavelengths will cause a physiological change at a cellular level. It provides a "jump start" to the cells, needed for healing and other body processes.
Benefits of LLLT include, but are not limited to: decreasing muscles spasms, increasing circulation, promoting healing, decreasing inflammation, and increasing tissue health.
LLLT can benefit patients with chronic arthritis, surgical incisions, tendon/ligament injuries, post-trigger point therapy, and much more.
Service added after shadowing veterinarians and therapists in 2019
Certified canine hydrotherapy is a form of physical therapy for dogs utilizing the buoyancy of water. It is a low-impact treatment that can help to improve strength, range of motion, and endurance. The buoyancy properties of water minimize weight bearing stress to the joints, which helps prevent tissue injuries, inflammation, and pain. (Pending pool availability)
Equine and canine hydrotherapy can also be performed in other forms, such as: ice, cold hosing, and compresses, and is often prescribed by the therapist in between treatments.
Certified in 2020
