About Me....

Hi, I’m Heidi the creator and owner of Divine Paws
Dogs have always been a part of my life. Nothing lights me up more than dog spotting anywhere, they never fail to put a big smile on my face!
I have always been passionate about alternative natural therapies with an understanding of our bodies ability to heal themselves.

My Why?

Divine Paws Holistic Therapies was created in honor of my beloved dog Jack, who sadly is no longer with me. Jack’s journey was challenging—rehomed three times due to behavioral issues and needing luxating patella surgery on both legs. I couldn't let him face an uncertain future, so I took on his care and began nursing him through recovery and rehabilitation. This journey marked the beginning of my exploration into holistic canine treatments.
As our bond strengthened, Jack began losing his hearing and sight. Initially, his ailments and behavioral issues made it difficult to even touch him. However, through gentle massage, we discovered a new way to connect. Jack’s behavior improved, his mobility increased, and, most importantly, I could finally touch my dog!

My mission....

to provide professional and therapeutic massage services tailored specifically for dogs, and educating people of the importance of incorporating a holistic approach in their lives enhancing their overall health and well-being.
