Vet-Led Therapeutic Animal Massage Workshop | 9 Aug 2026
About
Learn therapeutic animal massage from Dr Elaine Cebuliak, an expert in holistic and integrative veterinary care who has used these hands-on techniques for over 20 years to support animal comfort, healing, movement, range of motion, recovery and wellbeing.This is not a “pat your pet” workshop.
This is a practical, vet-led training experience for devoted pet owners, animal care professionals, vet nurses, vet students, groomers, walkers, bodyworkers and anyone who wants to gain real therapeutic skills they can use with animals.
You’ll receive immediate access to the online learning portal for 12 months, so you can begin studying the foundations straight away. Ideally, students complete the online modules before attending the face-to-face workshop, so the practical day can bring everything together through guided hands-on learning.
On Sunday 9 August 2026, you’ll join Dr Elaine for a full-day practical workshop where you’ll learn, practise and refine therapeutic touch techniques with close guidance.
You’ll explore practical foundations including animal anatomy, palpation, massage techniques, acupressure, meridians, joint mobilisation, range of motion, body language, contraindications, rehabilitation support, veterinary first aid and safe application of touch. The course materials also include downloadable notes, lectures and bonus learning resources to support your study.
Hands-on practice includes working with people and greyhounds, helping you develop feel, confidence and awareness before applying these techniques with animals such as dogs, cats, horses and other species where appropriate.
With the rising cost of living, many animal lovers are looking for practical ways to better support their animals between professional appointments. This course does not replace veterinary care, physiotherapy, chiropractic care or rehabilitation treatment. It gives you practical, informed skills to help you support comfort, mobility and wellbeing at home or in your animal care work - while also learning when professional care is needed.
