Whether it's your first visit or a follow up session, please arrive 10 minutes prior to your appointment time and allow your dog to sniff around and go to the toilet before coming into the healing hound room.
You can either park your car in front of the garage roller door that's on the left or you can park down near the road.
If your dog reacts highly to other dogs then it would be advisable to park down near the road on the nature strip. My dogs are my doorbells and they will let me know of your arrival when cars come up the driveway.
The session will begin with a gait and posture observation and assessment. A combination of other therapies will then be used to treat the dysfunctional areas to restore balance.
No treatment is ever forced onto a stressed dog. I allow patience and compassion with uncooperative dogs and have a range of treatment options available to help them. Most dogs become more comfortable with the environment and are calmer on subsequent visits and actually begin to look forward to their treatment sessions.
Sometimes there will be a pause in the session as this allows the effect of the treatment to integrate with the dog's nervous system and brain. This leads to a positive and reinforced relaxation response rather than a reactive stress like state.
The majority of dogs feel the need to urinate after a session so please take your dog for a short walk before you get in your car. Your dog may be quieter than usual, lethargic, may drink and urinate more after a treatment. It is recommended that you keep your dog quiet for at least 48 hours after the treatment so the body has a chance to rebalance itself and respond to the treatment. Avoid rough play and only light exercise during this time. Highly arousal activity will compromise the value of the soft tissue work the dog has just received.

Appointments are strictly arranged by using any of the "Book an Appointment" and "Book Now" links. This saves time instead of toing and froing with text or emails.
If you're wanting to know more information about our therapies and services for you and your pet(s) go to the CONTACTS section to enquire.
* Our therapies are not substitutes for seeking either veterinary or health practitioner care for urgent injuries and/or illness.
Your scheduled appointment is set aside for you and/or your dog. My time is shared between home visits for the dogs and the Lake Cathie Healing Hound Room, leaving enough time between appointments. I do not double book or have back to back appointments. Please reschedule as soon as possible if changes in circumstances prevent you from keeping your appointment. 24 hour cancellation notice is required to avoid being charged for your session.
If you need to cancel your appointment, please call or text me ASAP (at least 24 hours notice) so I have the opportunity to offer your appointment to another client. If less than 24 hours notice is given, you may be charged anywhere from 50% to full cost of your session as a cancellation fee. If you do not show up for a scheduled appointment, you will be charged a no show fee which is the full cost of your session.
At Howlistic Healing we accept cash, bank transfer, PayID and credit/debit card payments via a secure payment gateway.
*NB credit card payments will incur a small surcharge.
We offer specialised dog massage aka canine myofunctional therapy, holistic healing modalities, exclusive emotional and energy healing sessions and animal communication readings. There are even combo sessions!
Yes, our massage techniques are gentle, safe, and specifically designed for the well-being of your canine companion. If however, after an assessment of your dog deems that a veterinary examination, opinion and diagnosis is needed then we can discuss a possible treatment plan moving forward.
Emotional therapy healing can improve your dog's physical health, emotional well-being, and strengthen your bond through shared experiences. When individual energy blockages are present in the body's biofield and identified, they can be then released &/or transmuted to allow energy to flow freely which can lead to feeling light, unrestricted and full of joy!
Our healing modalities are suitable for all dog breeds, promoting wellness and harmony regardless of breed or size.
Well why not? Dogs have body's too and they feel pain, discomfort and stiffness just as we do. Although, unlike us that whinge and complain when we're in pain, dogs suffer in silence. When you understand why it's natural for them to do this, it will make more sense to you why they have to do this and why seeking a trained canine therapist is the most loving gift you can give you much loved loyal friend.
Dogs do suffer with silent pain due to muscular tightness, muscle weakness causing imbalances and compensation patterns through their system which can then lead to joint stiffness and joint issues as they age. Just because they don't tell you they're suffering, doesn't mean they don't have pain. Quite the opposite.
Having body tension, tightness and weakness also effects the internal structures of the body like organs and glands causing further the mind - body - spirit to imbalance. Howlistic Healing seeks to balance the whole dog. Not just the body or the mind or the spirit.
Home visits can be arranged if you can't make it to the Lake Cathie Howlistic Healing hound room. Howlistic Healing services the Port Macquarie and surrounding area. See list below.

When you book in for an appointment you will be directed to complete an online form about you and your dog's details, health, background and any known veterinary information. Once this is received your appointment will be confirmed.
When you arrive, I encourage you to allow your dog to take the time to sniff around and maybe look for a spot on the front lawn to pee. As you know, if you have a new appointment and you are a feeling anxious, you'll need to go too! It's the dreaded "nervous wee response".
At your appointment I will discuss the submitted form and anything you'd like to share with me.
An observation and assessment will be carried out and depending on how your dog responds, a hands on approach may follow.
As each dog and its behaviour is so unique and individualised, just like us humans, your dog may not respond to me in a way that you expect them to. Don't be disheartened. Most, if not all dogs won't be to eager to lie still and have an unknown human touching them. However, their second session will be a lot different because they'll remember me by their senses and their awareness. With each preceding session they won't hesitate to come close and have me work on and with them.

The majority of dog owners will notice an improvement from the first session. This can be seen in the post session movement observation and will continue into the following week.
While the added information from the session is processed by the dogs nervous system, they may rest more or they may become more active due to restrictions in their muscles and fascia being released allowing them to feel greater freedom throughout their body.
Depending on each dog's issues, challenges and treatment given, the outcome will differ.
I'd recommend ceasing treatment 2 days prior to a competition or exercise activity if you have a performance or working dog. A treatment after competition and excessive exercise is highly advisable.
Dogs will typically relax if allowed to by their owner once they get home or after I leave from a home visit.
Dogs who are booked in due to muscle strains, soreness and gait problems will typically need 3-4 sessions spaced approximately 1 week apart. It is dependent upon each dogs improvement and recovery.
I am no longer a health fund provider so I cannot give receipts for you to claim your remedial massage treatments with provider numbers. I apologise for any inconvenience caused.
