If you haven't heard of dog or pet massage, you're not alone. Today's guest, Jill Valuet of Radiant Paws, hadn't heard of it either. But in 2018, she needed a career change. She looked inward to see what she was passionate about. The answer: dogs.
She found a program in Toledo that she could get certified in dog massage, and Radian Paws was born. Today she explains what she does. Yes, dog massage is very different - requiring a lighter touch than humans. And of course, you have to earn their trust. So her mindset when she walks into clients' homes is crucial.
Jill practices Reiki, a touchless form of energy work that's also gaining popularity with humans. For many canine clients, she'll use a combination of physical massage and Reiki. She tells us a story about how she worked with a now-12 year old golden retriever that was having trouble walking due to a neurological condition. Soon, she was romping around doggy day care like a puppy.
Jill also shares her whimsical side with us - from concertgoing to cosplay and special effects makeup. And for our fishbowl question of the day, we ask her which kind of dog she would be. Her answer may surprise you.
Jill lives in Ferndale and will travel to clients within a 20 minute radius. If you live further away, you can go to her.
