Wondering if you could turn your love of dogs into a career that matters?
… Maybe you've watched your own dog recover from something and thought, “I wish I knew how to do this for others” but had no idea where you’d even start.
… Maybe you're already working with dogs in some way — a vet nurse, a groomer, a trainer — and you want to offer deeper support than you currently have the skills to offer.
… Or maybe you're a human massage therapist, and want to transfer those skills to treating dogs.
Whatever brought you here, you know that dogs deserve better care than many are currently getting, and that you could be part of providing it.
This free series will tell you exactly what a career in canine therapies looks like, and the clear path to get there.

HI, I'M MICHELLE
"This is my life's work."
I came to this work as a human physiotherapist.
In 2002, I opened Australia's first canine rehabilitation and hydrotherapy clinic — and built the country's first underwater treadmill for dogs.
Over the last two decades I’ve watched the pet and veterinary industries change significantly. Dogs are living longer than ever, surviving injuries, surgeries, and conditions that would have meant euthanasia twenty years ago.
But surviving is only the beginning.
Most dogs still don't get access to the rehabilitation that would meaningfully change their outcomes — not because owners don't care, but because most don't know it exists, and there aren't enough qualified therapists to provide it.
I’m on a mission to change that so as many dogs as possible live the longest, happiest, healthiest lives possible.
But one clinician can only reach so many dogs.
Which is why I founded the Canine Health & Wellbeing Academy and why I’m giving this series away free — for the people who could carry this work further than I ever could alone.
