I started Kuri K9 Massage to create healthier, happier lives for fur babies AND their parents—ultimately adding to both the quality AND quantity of the pet’s life, thereby making the most of the time they have with their human parents. Our fur babies’ lives are all too short, and pet parents are well aware of this. I relieve physical and emotional pain and tension in your fur babies, thereby relieving stress for their moms and dads, boosting quality of life together for longer.
I have worked with dogs and cats in one capacity or another my entire working life. Ever since I was a small child, I have made strong connections with animals of all sorts. I could empathize with them, quickly creating incredible bonds through my calm demeanour and positive energy, winning their trust when others couldn't. Friends, family and even strangers have commented that I have "a way" with animals.
I have continued to strengthen this connection with animals, especially dogs and cats, over the years by working with them in many different settings and circumstances, by being an animal parent all my life, and by being attuned to Reiki Level II (healing through the channeling of energy - something animals are very much in tune with). Reiki is a non-invasive technique I carry with me and supports my every interaction with both canine and feline clients. My massage therapy sessions are thereby strengthened, more meaningful and positive both physically and emotionally to the pets I work with.
I also find the dog’s or cat’s Moms and Dads relaxing during their loved one’s session! I am proud to have forged excellent relationships with both my dog/cat clients and my human clients as well. I feel I am a part of their team.

Praise for Kuri K9
"I took up Regan’s offer of Reiki for my cat, Lews Therin, because he’s getting older and was dealing with the transition of having my sister and her two toddlers moving in with us. Regan’s long-distance Reiki therapy soothed Lews Therin and let him nap more soundly during the day, which ultimately helped with his patience and confidence in regards to the children. I was impressed by Regan’s ability to sense, even from such a great distance, how Lews Therin was feeling and I found her to be a pleasure to work with. She opened my eyes to the possibilities for reiki therapy on animals and their efficacy."

"I love to have Regan from Kuri K9 come to massage my pets. We have monthly appointments and she even comes to me at my pet grooming salon to see my dogs while I work. The service is totally convenient and I see the difference in my pets. My older miniature poodle benefits from her monthly massage and i see the difference in her mobility. Regan also sees my other dogs who are show dogs and preform at their highest potential when they feel good, especially after a massage. My dogs are relaxed and happy to see Regan every time she walks through the door." - Nadia B., Nationally Certified Master Groomer, 2017 & 2018 Canadian Groomer of the Year, current member of Groom Team Canada
We booked a massage for our senior dog Casey, for her muscle atrophy and arthritis. Casey is typically not great with strangers and especially when they touch her back, but Regan had no issue and she was very relaxed from the start. After the second session, Casey was in a better mood, and sprinted around the block (typically she is so slow, she needs to be dragged). While I know she won't be healed of her arthritis, I'm glad to know she feels some comfort from the therapy. - Casey's Mom, Rebecca C.

“...He’s a long boy and it (massage therapy) keeps him healthy and...keeps him flexible, and makes sure that he gets to be around to be my Top Dog for a very long time…"

Holly after her very first massage!
Holly has been feeling great since her massage. Literally slept for the rest of the day except for a short walk...Amazing to see how quickly she felt amazing after it. - Holly's mom, Pam C., Toronto Dog Walking & The Cat Sitter.
Pickles is the Runner-Up for Toronto's Top Dog 2019
Regan was so great! Pickles is a it fearful of new people and she totally respected her boundaries and was very professional! Once there was lots of treats flowing, Pickles trusted Regan and loved the massage she was given! - Miss Pickles' (@miss.picklesthepug) Mom, Margaret S.
Isis and Casper
Regan has a very comforting presence and was such a help with my two cats when I moved from a condo to a house. I would highly recommend her massages for your fur babies! - Isis and Casper's mom, Priya R.
