I am in love with animals – and it shows!

»May your hands be an extension of your heart and may you do the work of love with them.« 
Aja Monet

Raised with dogs and cats, animals always played a big role in my life! So I am very happy now to work professionally with dogs and horses almost everyday!

We work in cooperation with your veterinary!

Ideally you are coming after consulting your vet. With a reliable diagnosis we can work out an individual therapy plan for your horse or dog.
