Hello, I’m Sarah and I run Hillcroft Hounds Clinical Canine Massage, near Wrexham in North Wales. I work with dogs living with pain, stiffness, and the behaviour changes that so often go with them. I trained with the Canine Massage Therapy Centre on their two-year Clinical Canine Massage Practitioner Programme, and I bring to my work a genuine fascination with canine anatomy and a deep commitment to helping owners understand what's happening inside their dog's body.
My path into canine massage was shaped by my own dogs. Brenin, my Saluki Greyhound cross, has a history of myofascial pain and emotional trauma; Dyfi, my ex-racing Greyhound, lives with a skeletal deformity and soft tissue injuries. Alongside the sighthounds who came before them - Della and Sandy - they've been my greatest teachers. I also bring my own lived experience of chronic pain to my practice, which gives me a particular understanding of what it means to live in a body that hurts, and how much that shapes everything else.
My approach is consent-led, unhurried, and built around the individual dog. I'm experienced in working with anxious and touch-sensitive dogs, and I create a calm, low-pressure environment where there are no expectations about how a dog should behave. I work collaboratively alongside vets, physiotherapists, behaviourists, other professionals and you, the owner.
Please contact me for more details on clinical canine massage, prices and availability.
