How Sessions Work
Each session begins with a brief assessment of your pet's condition, allowing Laura to identify areas of tension and tailor the massage accordingly. Sessions typically run between 30 and 60 minutes depending on your pet's size and needs, and most animals show visible signs of relaxation from the very first visit. Follow-up sessions build on previous progress, focusing on continued comfort and long-term wellness.
