Get to know me.

 INTRODUCTION

With decades of hands-on experience and a calm, compassionate approach, I help dogs, especially seniors and those with mobility challenges, move with greater comfort, strength, and confidence.

I'm a duly trained Canine Hydrotherapy Practitioner and hold certifications as a Myo-manipulative Functional Therapist, Animal Cold Laser Practitioner, and Canine Kinesiology Tape Practitioner. Every session I offer is individualized and gentle, focused on improving mobility, reducing discomfort, easing anxiety, strengthening, and supporting each dog’s overall physical and emotional well-being.

I’ve been a lifelong animal rescuer, and I’m deeply devoted to advocating for animals. Before dedicating myself to bodywork, I spent over a decade rescuing injured and homeless dogs directly from the streets of Mexico. I co-founded the Los Cabos Humane Society and served on the Board of Directors for the Cabo San Lucas Humane Society as Director of Animal Rescue. 

This lifelong commitment to animals, along with my professional training and caring approach, allows me to be a trusted partner in every dog’s journey toward a more comfortable, joyful, and healthy life.

MY PACK

Courage

Courage is our new dog! He’s not new to me, I met him 2 years ago after he was rescued and had hip surgery. We donated his hydrotherapy to Desert Paws Sanctuary for three months and I fell in love at first sight. I always wanted Courage but could not adopt him with Reyna ruling the ranch. It was devistating loosing Reyna and Courge is helping to try and ease the pain. He’s a lot like her! We couldn’t love him more, he’s the perfect dog for us and he’s extremly sweet.


Calvin, my pride and joy Gypsy Vanner.

Calvin

Meet Calvin, my magnificent Gypsy Vanner horse! He’s so fine! Calvin is 20 years young now, and he’s been with me for 12 years. He’s such a good boy and everyone who meets him tells me how fortunate I am to have such a well-behaved horse. He lives with us on the “Reyna Rall Ranch”.


Reyna

We recently lost our 15-year-old Reyna Rall Ranch Dog, whom I rescued as a pup in Mexico. She’d outlived my entire Mexican pack and our precious baby, Trigger, who devastatingly passed due to hydrocephalus and her sister Planeta, who passed 10 months earlier.
