This hybrid course gives you practical training in therapeutic animal massage, beginning with online study and building into a full-day hands-on workshop with Dr Elaine Cebuliak.

You’ll begin with immediate access to the online learning portal for 12 months, where you’ll study the foundations of animal massage, anatomy, palpation, body language, safety, acupressure, range of motion and supportive therapeutic care. The online modules are designed to give you the knowledge base you need before attending the practical workshop.

Then, in the face-to-face training day, you’ll bring the theory into your hands.

Under Dr Elaine’s guidance, you’ll practise therapeutic touch techniques, develop feel and confidence, and learn how to observe an animal’s subtle responses so your touch becomes more informed, safe and effective. This is where the learning clicks - when you move from understanding the techniques to actually applying them.

This course is designed for devoted pet owners, animal care professionals, vet nurses, vet students, groomers, walkers, bodyworkers and anyone who wants to gain practical skills to support animal comfort, movement, healing, range of motion and wellbeing.

These are the same kinds of therapeutic techniques Dr Elaine has used for more than 20 years in holistic and integrative veterinary care to help animals feel, move and recover better.

This is not about replacing veterinary care or professional rehabilitation. It’s about becoming more skilled, observant and confident in the way you support the animals you love and work with.
