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
Reyna
I am down to my sole survivor, Reyna Rall Ranch Dog, whom I rescued as a pup nearly 15 years ago in Mexico. She’s outlived my entire Mexican pack and even our precious baby, Trigger, who devastatingly passed due to hydrocephalus. Her sister Planeta passed 10 months earlier, making Reyna an only dog now. She loves soaking up all the attention. She’s always wanted to be the Alpha, and finally had a short term in that role over Trigger. Now she spends more time with our horse Calvin, and she’s going strong at nearly 14.5 years of age!
Calvin
Meet Calvin, my magnificent Gypsy Vanner horse! He’s so fine! Calvin is 19 years young now, and he’s been with me for 11 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” and is now Reyna’s best friend.
