Lisa Ruthig, Certified Small Animal Massage Therapist, Certified Equine Massage Therapist, Reiki Level II Practitoner

After graduating from University of Delaware with a BS in Biology, Lisa worked in molecular biology and immunology laboratories for a number of years before following a meandering path to her career in animal massage.

A traumatic injury to her puppy, Fergus, led Lisa into the realm of complementary healing techniques. Attempts to treat his resulting structural problems and anxiety quickly led to a passion for working with all animals.
A graduate of Bancroft School of Massage Therapy Small Animal Massage Program and a Level II Reiki practitioner, Lisa uses her scientific mindset, along with her natural affinity for the emotions of animals, to guide her in treating various behavioral problems, injuries, and movement disorders in small animals. A combination of massage and Reiki has been successful in improving behavioral issues stemming from anxiety, along with a positive training program.
She also works with agility dogs in between events to keep them in peak condition with massage, Reiki, and stretching.
