Spa

Introduce Spa Massage and Aromatherapy to the pampered pets in your salon. Two big programs in one!

Spa Massage for Posh Pets
Want to add spa services for your clients? Would you like to learn a fun and rewarding skill that will add to the quality of your existing services?

In this presentation, you will learn the benefits of massage and how to apply basic massages strokes to companion animals. "We will discuss how massage can be used to work with pets with behavioral challenges as well as how it will improve the effects of your grooming on the coat and skin. We will also discuss the market for massage services and what you can expect to earn with this new skill," says Lola, who comes from her school in Washington state.

Pet massage is founded on the principles of Swedish and sport massage designed specifically for use with animals, and can address stress patterns, improve performance, be an aid to rehabilitation, and help restore the vitality of a pet. Lola will briefly demonstrate animal
massage techniques, anatomy and physiology, kinesiology, behavior and handling techniques

Aromatherapy’s Hot Spa Trend
Aromatherapy is one of the hottest spa trends that can add significantly to your bottom line. Adding essential oils to your grooming session and making personalized blends available to your clientele are just two of the ways to introduce aromatherapy.

You will learn the basic science behind essential oils and the differences between the human response to oils and the animal’s response. We will discuss how scents are already inundating the products you use, the difference between good scents and bad scents. We will discuss how to add essential oils to improve your product line and service menu. You will learn two techniques for helping to select the proper oils for an animal; through applied kinesiology and through self-selection.

This four-hour add-on program is included in the Do-It-All package and can be purchased separately. See registration form and schedule.
