Hello to all my furred, feathered, and scaled pals! I'm Poppy, your dedicated pet healer, and I've been on this journey since 2021, discovering my true calling as a massage therapist and Reiki practitioner. With over four years of experience in Massage Therapy and two years as a Reiki practitioner, my lifelong passion for energy work has allowed me to connect deeply with animals of all kinds. Whether it's alpacas, birds, cats, chickens, or even reptiles like snakes and turtles, my heart is open to serving a wide variety of beloved companions. As a solo practitioner, I am committed to offering personalized care and therapeutic healing to pets and their families.

In every session, I prioritize creating a safe and calming environment, grounding my energy to ensure your companion feels secure and relaxed. My approach as an animal communicator involves understanding each pet's unique needs, boundaries, and trust thresholds. I believe in letting them set the pace, ensuring a gentle and effective healing process. My services extend to both in-person and online sessions, providing flexibility for pet parents who may have diverse needs or travel constraints. My cancellation policy requires a 48-hour notice, respecting the time and commitments of my clients.

I am thrilled to offer my expertise and nurturing spirit to enrich the wellness journey of your pet. Ready to experience transformative healing for your cherished companions? Book me through Petworks today, and let's embark on this journey together!

Benefits of Sessions with Poppy

How Sessions Work


Each session begins with a brief assessment of your pet's condition, allowing Poppy to identify areas of tension and tailor the massage accordingly.

Follow-up sessions build on previous progress, focusing on continued comfort and long-term wellness.
