Testimonials
I adopted Maddie when she was 16 weeks old. She had previously been adopted and was returned by non-owner sick and lethargic. The staff assured me that they ran all the tests and they all came back negative and she was healthy. They think she was just malnourished. Understandably Maddie wasn't very trusting and it did take some time but we did gain her trust and she became an active little puppy. Approximately 6 months old forward we began noticing a gradual decline in her activities like jumping on the bed and on the furniture. After consulting with Veterinary Special Services Maddie was diagnosed with polyneuropathy a diagnosis that is not very common in young dogs, mostly seen in geriatric dogs. After the failure of medication, we were in the right place the right time and we came across Elisha's marketing flyer at our groomers.
I met with Elisha and she came up with a treatment plan for my Maddie girl and we've been seeing her ever since. Elisha has had such a positive effect on Maddie. Her calm gentle energy and therapy skill set not only one over my dog but also had a positive effect on my pupper and me as well. You can feel her passion and love for what she does and for my Maddie. She continues to advance her education skill set to include specific neurological studies for my dog and her other dogs. You can see how excited she is to do it and she explains it to me allowing me to understand. She even empowered me with some online tools to help in between therapy sessions.
Elisha is the best decision I could have made for my dog's well-being. I feel 100% confident that she is the reason why my dog is still as mobile as she is at 4 yrs old and not in Wheels and I feel confident that she will be there for us when that time comes. I would recommend her to anyone.
Forever grateful,
Tracy K.
Testimonials
Since Po has been seeing Elisha, we are convinced that he is aging backwards. He no longer wakes up stiff and sore, and at the young age of 9, he was fit and sound enough to complete his very first mountain hike. As a rather aloof guy, Elisha was able to win his trust and now he gets SO excited when we ask him if he wants to go get a massage. Body work has improved Po’s quality of life drastically and we owe it all to Elisha!
