I’m Valerie, an East Sussex based holistic therapist for dogs and equines.

Applied Herbal Choices (based on the principles of Zoopharmacognosy) is a complementary therapy that offers domestic animals the opportunity to self-select the natural remedies they need.

This may help issues relating to both behavioral and physical difficulties.

These might include:

Anxiety (separation, hypervigilance, obsessive behaviour)
Reactive behaviour

Stereotypies
Fearfulness (noises, fireworks, fear of strangers)
Aggression
Gut sensitivity
Pain
End of life

I also offer Canine Clinical Massage which supports dogs with soft tissue injuries (sprains and strains) and
orthopaedic conditions such as

• Arthritis

• Hip dysplasia

• Elbow dysplasia

• IVDD

• Spondylitis

• Osteochondritis Dessecans (OCD)

• Degenerative Myelopathy

• Mobility Issues

Massage can promote relaxation in anxious dogs and may mitigate the effects of chronic pain in older animals.
