Companion Animal Massage & Bodywork exists to support the mental and physical health and well-being of the animals around us as well as their human caretakers. We are Texas-licensed massage therapists working in the greater Houston and Dallas areas.  In addition to massage we offer bodywork, positional release and Reiki for your beloved animal companions.  Sessions are conducted in the animal's home which usually provides the most stress-free environment available.  To schedule a consultation in either the Houston or Dallas area write:  marguerite@companionanimalmassage.com

Equally important as the hands-on care we offer is our mission to promote and educate animal caretakers in the benefits of bodywork; particularly massage, energy work, positional release, lymphatic stroking, communicating touch and Reiki (energy work). These non-aggressive, gentle modalities promote homeostasis, thereby supporting health and well-being.
 
We offer:
  • regularly scheduled massage workshops in the Houston area. 
  • massage for your, animals, your organization or business in the Houston and Dallas areas. 
  • scheduled workshops, seminars or animal event massage at any location.

We are the only Texas Licensed Massage Therapists & Marguerite is the only Texas Massage Therapy Instructor/Continuing Education provider & Certified Reiki Master working primarily with animals and providing instruction in animal bodywork.  If you have any questions, please write:   marguerite@companionanimalmassage.com.

Massage is thoughtful, educated, disciplined touch with support of homeostasis as a primary goal.  Homeostasis is the natural balance of the body that is constantly being reinforced from within and without.  When homeostasis is impaired, the result is disease.  Bodywork and Energy Work along with trained Communication techniques support homeostasis of both the giver and receiver.  Restoration and maintenance of this natural balance supports improved physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health for all participants of any species.

If you are seeking an animal massage therapist in your area, please contact us.  We have students and certified graduates across the USA who will be happy to bring Companion Animal Massage & Bodywork to you.
