Founder Owner
i am the owner of Mycuties, a passionate dog lover and a certified Canine Remedial Massage Therapist, Canine Hydro therapist,dog trainer and slowly but surely working my way to becoming a certified Canine Behaveralist “Watch this space!”. lets join hands in your dogs wellness journey of rehabilitation, recovery and/or general comfort. I’m dedicated to helping dogs live their happiest,healthiest and most adjusted lives. Originally from South Africa, I now call the beautiful Kapiti Coast in New Zealand my home. With a deep love for animals—especially dogs—I’ve always been drawn to working and walking along side them in ways that enhance their well-being.
This journey began when I was 16 years old regularly volunteering at our local animal shelters. it was here that i witnessed firsthand the dire need for support. my heart cried out to do more, They deserved better! I wanted to do all I could to help them find their forever loving homes, so I worked to achieving two certifications in dog training to assist them in being homed.
I fostered and adopted many dogs ” because how could you not fall in love!” I wanted to do more for my senior and tripaw furbabies and thought how can i make their life more comfortable and how can i conservatevely manage this? Being a qualified Somotologist for many years and knowing the benefits first hand of human massage therapy, i knew how great this could be for our dogs, so here i am! hydro and remedial massage therapy have such incredible benefits and work so well hand in hand. Massage, laser and hydrotherapy can make a significant difference in a dog’s quality of life.
Now, I’m excited to have been blessed with the opportunity to start MyCuties! I believe that every dog deserves to feel their best and have the best quality of life. I’m here to help make that happen!
