A graduate of the Chicago School of Canine Massage, the precursor to Canis Bodyworks, Bev has had long experience working with dogs in the Southern Ontario area as an NBCAAM certified Canine Massage Practitioner.

Committed to furthering the support of healthy practices for dogs and their people, she is also a Certified Professional Canine Fitness Trainer, an ACE Certified Practitioner, and a Tellington Ttouch® Guild certified Companion Animal Practitioner.

Bev’s lifelong career as a professional classical musician, with all the massage, chiropractic, physio and other bodywork required to maintain peak performance levels, has provided particular insight into how beneficial these modalities are for supporting optimum health. This unique understanding of how significantly regular massage can impact the body and overall health, coupled with her understanding of how body discomfort in our canine companions can adversely affect canine behaviour, led Bev to her second career in Canine Massage. Her deep commitment to spreading this knowledge through education led her to join the excellent Canis Bodyworks as an instructor.

Bev is the owner of the Animal Massage and Movement Education Centre, located in a converted old stone church near Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, and is owner of Canine Massage and Fitness. Bev lives in Frankville, Ontario with her husband and their dog, Pepper, an Australian Shepherd.
