About Us

Hi, I'm Alexis.

Animals have been at the heart of my life and career for many years. My journey began in animal shelters, where I worked as a behavior consultant and dog trainer, helping animals and their families navigate challenges and build stronger relationships. During that time, I learned that an animal's well-being is about so much more than behavior alone. Comfort, physical health, emotional well-being, and compassionate care all play an important role in helping animals thrive.

As I worked with more senior pets, animals recovering from injury, and families facing difficult medical and end-of-life decisions, I felt called to support them in a deeper way. That path led me to therapeutic massage, cold laser therapy, hospice and palliative care, and companion animal end-of-life doula work. I found my passion in helping animals feel more comfortable, move with greater ease, and experience peace during every stage of life.

One of the things I love most about this work is that every animal is unique. Some need support recovering from an injury, some need help navigating the challenges of aging, and others simply benefit from a calm, gentle touch. Meeting each animal where they are and helping them feel safe and comfortable is at the center of everything I do.

I am a National Board-Certified Canine Massage Therapist, Certified Small Animal Massage Therapist, UVM Certified Companion Animal End-of-Life Doula, Fear Free Certified Professional, and Certified Professional Dog Trainer. I have also completed coursework in Applied Animal Behavior through the University of Washington. My education continues today as I pursue certification in Equine Therapeutic Massage, allowing me to expand my knowledge and eventually serve horses as well.

Companion Animal Wellness was created from a simple belief: every animal deserves comfort, dignity, and compassionate care. It is a privilege to support animals and the people who love them, and I am grateful for the opportunity to be part of their journey.
