Natalie Winter has been involved in the canine world for over 19 years as both a competitor and instructor in agility, confirmation, Obedience, endurance and flyball. She first "stumbled" on Massage therapy when her best Friend Tinkerbell (pictured below laying down) suffered from chronic back pain due to injuries sustained in the agility ring.  In order to do everything she could for her friend, her research pointed her towards Canine Massage Therapy and Small Animal acupressure. Her husband Geoff who is in the Australian Navy was posted to the USA so she moved from Australia to the USA in 2001 for 3 1/2 years and began her intense full time study of canine massage gaining her full certification in 2002.  

 She has since written a book called "Canine Massage - taking the mystery out of massaging your dog" which has been extremely popular around the world.  The book is avilable at our online store and is about to be published by an international publishing company in late 2009.

Her thirst for knowledge of canine movement & rehabilitation drove her to work in conjunction with many vets and veterinary chiropractors on both the East and West Coast of the USA . The results were so successful that it became a full time profession in 2002 with a dedicated client base consisting of post operative care patients as well canine athletes of all fields including greyhounds.  Her canine experience and her ability to quickly pick up on a dogs needs along with her proven success and reputation as a therapist, has enabled her to work on some of the best canine athletes in the USA and Australia.

Natalie's dogs Ben (Left) Tinkerbell, Molly, Maverick and Mickey at the back (plus Joshua and Otis both deceased) have gained over 80 titles in 2 countries in agility, obedience, Confirmation and Endurance and she is also the mother of 2 young boys called Jack and Charlie pictured below.  Sadly Molly is now waiting at rainbow bridge leaving behind many happy memories and some very sad hearts.  Joshua and Otis ( pictured below) are also waiting at the bridge and read about her wonderful group go the the "Amuaray Cavaliers" link.
