Meet Yaz, your Canine Therapist.
Yaz runs Yorkshire Pooches Therapies in Castleford, West Yorkshire. She combines a passion for musculoskeletal health, species appropriate nutrition, canine behaviour and all things natural, to provide a holistic canine service.
Yaz is a Canine Merishia Massage Therapist and Applied Herbal Choices Consultant. These qualifications provide the foundations for her specialism in Pain Management and all aspects of Natural Canine Health. Yaz is also a
Photizo Ambassador and author of
Your Dog's Pain Diary, A Blueprint For Monitoring a Pain Trial.
Yorkshire Pooches Therapies has a busy West Yorkshire based clinic along with extensive online services. Working internationally in the USA, Europe and UAE Yaz has been able to work with Pet Parents across the globe to help with their dogs pain management. The most popular service being
Online Gait Analysis, identifying abnormalities in your dogs movement and then reporting my findings to facilitate further conversations with your Vet.
Dogs with 'big feelings' are always welcome at Yorkshire Pooches Therapies. Consent based treatments are the heart of Yaz's practice, allowing your dog to set the pace of the session. This mutual respect of boundaries then builds into a beautiful line of communication, vital when working with painful dogs. We have to remember dogs don't understand the concept of a massage, we have to gently introduce hands on work as a positive experience.
Yaz always has a lot to say when it comes to Natural Canine Health, which bodes well when working with fellow businesses in the Natural Canine Health sector. Yaz can often found guest lecturing, writing guest articles and or consulting for Raw Food Manufacturers.
